Endaemona
was born from the ashes of black metal
band Obsidivm Spirti, founded in 1998.
During the spring of 2003, after a long
period of inactivity, guitarist Francesco
Cardillo and drummer Jorge Chuna started
looking for new members to resume the
Obsidivm Spirti project. The selection
process took a long time but, at the
end, the band managed to find a stable
line-up recruiting singer/guitarist
Stefano Sciamanna and bassist Thomas
Campurra (both former members of death
metal band called Absence) as well as
Mario Di Giambattista at keyboards.
At first, the new line-up focused on
the old songs of Obsidivm Spirti trying
to develop a more personal style also
helped by the entry of the new instrument,
the keyboards, that made a most melodic
sound. It is now when the band (that
will eventually change its name to Endaemona)
starts developing a sound of its own
based on the heterogeneous influences
of each member and ranging from black
metal to goth music. This profound change
becomes evident in the song "Caligula"
re-styled on "Endaemona's way".
The
first song that endaemona compose was
"Bring Me Out" most gothic
and melodic then before. In summer 2004
the band recorded its first work called
"Cold Memories" at Real Sound
Studios in Rome. This album helped the
band to make a name for itself in Rome's
underground scene. On December 9 2004,
Endaemona played their first live show
as the opening act for Death ss and
The Vision Bleak on the occasion of
the "The night of the Witches II"
event. During 2005 endaemona work at
new songs and continue to perform their
live shows around the italian background,
like in Turin on 15 December 2005. Three
new songs are ready in 2006, so the
band decided to enter again in Real
Sound Studios to record a new MCD "Lacrima"
that contains this three new tracks
united at other three instrumental songs
in a sublime rarity that prepare their
fans to the long awaited first full-lenght
that will be recorded in the new year!
But after "Lacrima" recording
session, Francesco Cardillo the founder
member, left the band due to his personal
and work problems, but soon was replaced
by Alessandro Terrinoni like a new guitarist
of the band.
