Ektomorf
Ektomorf was founded in 1994 by brothers Zoltán (vocals, guitar) and Csaba Farkas (bass). After some time in the underground and eagerly writing song material, the band got a record deal and released its first album "Hangok" in 1996. The musical mixture of powerful Thrash Metal, Hardcore, Punk and Gypsy Folklore (resulting from the Roma roots of the Farkas brothers) soon earned Ektomorf a lot of fans in their Hungarian homeland.
With the follow-up "Ektomorf" in 1998 Ektomorf got first international attendance and the change to present themselves to a larger audience. József Szakács (drums) joined the band soon afterwards and the trio started to record "Kalyi Jag" (= black fire) which came out in 2000 and was distributed worldwide.
In 2002, Ektomorf released "I Scream Up To The Sky". The album became the most successful one of the band thus far and got enthusiastic critics as well as features in popular rock magazines like "Metal Hammer" and "Rock Hard". At open air events like the Summer Breeze (again) and festivals in Italy EKTOMORF already introduced the brand new song 'I Know Them' and got acclaimed effusively.
In spring 2004 Ektomorf were on tour with Pro-Pain, and the bands became close friends. In summer 2004 they were the support band for Fear Factory.
