ARGUS was formed in October 1996 by FULMINEOS (drums, lead vocals, keyobards).
Later on, in 1997, after EREBUS had joined the band, they have recorded their first demo, DIABOLICAL
RISEN TO THE NOCTURNAL SKY, with the help of two additional members. At the end of 1997,
they completed the line-up with TAMUZ (bass) and NAAMAH (keyboards). In 1998, they recorded
and released the second demo: CASTELUL NOPTII, which was nicely received in the underground
scene. The band isn't very interested in live acts, as they sing for themselves and try to avoid the company
of people, preffering isolation in nature. The latest news is that the album has recorded their first
album: OBSCUR SI ETERN with only two members. FULMINEOS (lead vocals, drums, rhythm
guitars, keyboards) and EREBUS (guitars, bass and additional vocals). The other members are no
longer involved with the band, TAMMUZ because of lack of interest and NAAMAH because she
moved to Bucharest to finish her studies.
More to come about ARGUS soon.

FOGLAND was formed by TAMMUZ (guitars and vocals) and FULMINEOS (bass, drums,
