BIOGRAPHY:
The band started in 1997 and was
called at first "Elegy". The first members line-up was: Noam Kimhi-Vocals
& Dan Moav-Guitar which started in search for other fit members. the
members that they found were: Ariel Gabizon-Lead guitar Bengy Leng-Bass
Guitar Matan Meital-Vocals Ben Fisher-Drums When they all got together
they started creating what they first thought to be doom metal music. But
as soon as they found the members they got rid of them, what the band wanted
to do is grim and dark doom, what the current members of the band did not
know how to make this music so noam got rid of Dan and Ariel and they found
new members to make true doom metal! Gilad Bar-Shalev was the new lead
guitar player who came from the trash / speed metal scene, and Gil Polak
on the guitar! Now the way to create doom metal was easy. The name of the
band was replaced after receiving information about another band also with
that name so the name was changed to: Hymns of Hades. After the news of
Bengy's retirement from the band, they started searching again after new
member and now for a bass player. Joseph .D. Darmon from the band Filigran
joined the band after two concerts with them, in tour of the compilation
"Demons of Jerusalem". Joseph changed a bit the style of the music to more
melodic and powerful doom metal trying to bring some elements from the
black and death metal. In the end of 1998 the band recorded her first demo
with the current line-up: Noam Kimhi-vocals. Joseph .D. Darmon-guitar and
bass. Ben Fisher-drums and precessions. This line-up is the current one,
and we're wishing it to stay like that!
