Hypnotical is an alternative Rock band formed in 2022 in Chișinău, Republic of Moldova.

History
The Group was formed in 2022 when Guitarists Daniel Furculița and Mihai Gangan met with guitarrist Dorin Jardan and Vocalist Daniel Mistreț and started playing together, the four playing separately until then. They began playing in high school, and their initial performances took place at the school where all four members attended. During their first gigs, they did not have a drummer or a bassist, having backing tracks with drums for all the songs, and Daniel Furculița putting a sock in his guitar's bridge and setting his amplifier so that it would imitate a bass sound.

Later that year, drummer Ecaterina Ceban would join for a couple of months, the band having their first official concert at a club in Chișinău in early 2023. They followed with several concerts and gigs at clubs and bars around the city.

During late 2023, they changed drummers for a couple of times, finally recruiting Alexandru Ogor in January of 2024. This is when a certain individual, wearing a horse mask called "The Hypnotical Horse" started appearing at concerts and online, even having an Instagram page, @hypnotical.horse. This recurring joke stems from the fact that the name Hypnotical contains the Romanian word 'cal,' meaning horse.

On the 12th of June 2024, Hypnotical played live on tv for the first time at the "Live Studio " program on the Moldova 1 channel. They played the songs "Talking to myself", "Shampoo I" and "Where are you now".

On the 14th of June 2024, their first single "Shampoo" was out on all streaming platforms.
