Eths

With their new album ‘Tératologie’, ETHS made their breakthrough in their hometown and secured themselves a place in the hearts of all metal fans. The band from Marseille around the powerful-voiced singer Candice manages to combine brutal riffs in best post KORN tradition with hymnal octave shifts like NIGHTWISH to create a distinct mixture, admirers of elaborated guitar arrangements will be pleased with. The members of this French band are no newcomers and have been involved in several other musical projects already. Staif and Greg form the band WHAT THE FUCK in 1996. One year later, Candice joins the line-up and they change their name to MELTING POT. But the journey has just started. In 1999, drummer Guilaume becomes a member after leaving his former band SCHOCKWAVE. 6 months later, Bass player Roswell joins in and the line-up is finally complete.

As they’re members of the ‘Coriace Collektive’, their popularity grows quickly even beyond the scene borders. Endorsed by the quickly growing fan base, they opt for another name change and as ETHS they tour France, Switzerland, Belgium, and Portugal extensively. In France they’re already stars playing with the likes of FANTOMAS, NACHINE HEAD, ELEMENT, and SKINDRED. When Guillaume and Roswell break up with the band in June 2006 due to creative differences, the fans are shocked, fearing the complete band would call it quits now. But the remaining members carry on and with Matt Lechevalier (Drums) and Geoffrey (Bass) they find adequate replacements for the vacant positions. After an EP, an album, and 200 shows they’re presenting a new quantum leap in their creative process and now they’re blessing the German fans with a tour and won’t spare Berlin either…
