The project Ephel Duath was created in February 1998 with the precise intent of experimenting in the sphere of extreme music. At the root of the group’s name lies the concept of a dark and fleeting sound: Ephel Dúath is in fact the mountain range that defends the kingdom of Mordor in Tolkien’s masterpiece.
Initially the band started out as a Duo, with Giuliano Mogicato (voice, guitar, synth and programming) and Davide Tiso (guitar), the only founding member still in the line-up, both were eighteen at the time. In October of the same year the demo tape “Opera” is released; 6 tracks of extreme metal with symphonic traits which brought the name of Ephel Duath to be compared with the style of Limbonic Art and Emperor.
At the end of 1999 the first discographic contract was signed with Code666, at the time an emerging Italian label known for its courageous decisions and opposition to the general trend.
In May 2000 the debut album “Phormula” is released, produced at the time by Riccardo Pasini, who then becomes a sort of added band member.
The 8 new tracks of this record make it a highly ambitious and rich piece of work, distinguished by a genuine research for originality in the choice of stylistics, to emphasize one of the goals that still motivate the band today: not to belong to any specific type of music or movement. The critics reward their courage but the public’s opinion, and the need to classify, intrinsic with extreme metal, place Ephel Duath together with “Black metal Underground” a label that the band will try very hard to eradicate during the coming years.

The new line-up is going to be great! Eagerly anticipating the new EP and full-length. Also, The Painter's Palette hasn't gone stale since its release date, to me it's the best jazz metal album ever created. The bass, drumming and trumpets are all perfect.

I will have to look at that book. It is always interesting when bands do tribute/soundtracks for books. The band Dün plays to the tune of the book Dune, and it is brilliant.

Is "Through My Dog's Eyes" at all based around the book "Sirius" by Olaf Stapledon, does anyone know? The album seems really closely linked, but then it may just be coincidence as they are both about how a dog views the world.
