Ephel Duath

A band as odd and ecletic as its name might imply Ephel Duath pushed the boundaries of extreme music with each successive release. It all started as a two-man project with Phormula, released in 2000 on the then-new Code666 label. Blending black and progressive metal isn't entirely unknown these days, but back then it was pretty unique, and the album established the band as a unique force in extreme metal. Following a signing to the Elitist label and a repackaging of the debut (hence, Rephormula), the pair split, with Davide Tiso taking the reins, recruiting various new members, and taking the band into uncharted waters, blending progressive, jazz, hardcore, and other influences metal and non. An interesting latecomer to the scene was Karyn Crisis, who hadn't been heard from much since her days in the excellent Crisis (additionally, she ended up marrying Tiso). Finally, Tiso decided to put the band to rest in December 2014, marking the end of one strange, unique, and groundbreaking metal act. Tiso and Crisis have since put together Gospel Of The Horns.
