thereal Blue is a band that performs atmospheric death -black experimental
musical art. They were formed in Ioannina (Greece), during the first month of 2002 as
a company of dilettante musicians. After rehearsing several times and getting
known each other better they came up with the material that consisted their debut
self-financed demo-cd "A Mourning Ocean..."
which received pretty good reviews from several web and fan-zines worldwide and
offered them the chance to sign the contract with the French label Deadsun
Records.
On February 2005 Deadsun Records put out on market Ethereal Blue's debut
full-length album named "Black Heart Process", moving within aggressive,
technical and intense paths and receiving more than encouraging feedback from the
metal press. The music was the result of a unique apprehension of NWOSDM, the
English gothic metal
forms and the bitter aggression of the black metal genre, without missing the
band's most characteristic feature that is the melody and a rather wide and
holistic way of compo- sing.
Ethereal Blue continue experiencing live perfor- mances along with bands such as Arcturus, Moonspell, Rotting Christ, Septic Flesh and Naer Mataron resulting in their ongoing publicity.
After several line-up changes and a "void era", the band started composing new material for the sophomore album. In the meantime, a management contract with Alkemist Fanatix Europe was attained and Ethereal Blue ended up in signing a record deal in 2008 with Casket/Copro Records (UK). Within the following years, the album's composition finished and the band entered Reaction Studios (Athens-Greece) with Sebastian Marc as a producer.
