Hystory

The beginning of the Eternal Black Symphony

Hathor was formed in the winter of 1995 by the will of four young people fed up with the amount of local commercial bands and sustained by the local public who wantwd a brutal band.

The first Hathor line-up was:

Caraus Ilie- vocals, Mihai Marius- guitar, Zainescu Adrian- bass, Ochiu Cristian- drums. From the beginning Hathor was supported by Casa de Cultura a Studentilor from Galati which offered them a place for rehearsals, instruments and also paid them the transport costs for student concerts. The collaboration with Pro-Contra band from Galati helped the band with the live appearances inviting them to appear in local concerts. Pro-Contra also helped Hathor release their first demo “Type Hathor”. The first festival were Hathor presented their music was the “Rock, Jazz, Folk” festival in Craiova (1996). In the same year they were on stage at “Constelatii Rock” festival in Ramnicu Valcea. Here they recorded their firstlive album “Live in Ramnicu Valcea” helped by Adrian Ordean. 1997 was a very productive year for Hathor concerning the local live appeaarances.The most important was the concert with GOD (Iasi) that took place at Gradina de Vara.

Changes

The thrash style singed by the band from the beginning suffered some changes( Mihai Marius aspired to sing death metal) and these caused the rupture between band members. So Zainescu Adi(bass) and Ochiu Cristi(drums) left the band. They were replaced and so new guitarist of Hathor was Mihai Adrian, Mihai Marius took the bass parts and Nistor Ionut the drum parts. In the first part of 1998 the band rehearsed a lot and the Mihai brothers composed some new songs.Then on 23rd of september, Hathor went to “Posada Fest” in Campulung Muscel, helped as usual by Nelu Brandusan from Promusic Prod. From the autumn of 1998 the activity of the band stopped for one year because the bass player Mihai Marius was drafted. During this time the drummer Nistor Ionut left for Pro-Contra band, althought he still played with Hathor until a replacement was found. The band went to the “Top T ’99” festival in Buzau where Caraus Ilie wins the prize for best lead singer. Several months later, Dimitrenco Constantin(Rep.Moldova) became the new drummer of the band. Once reunited, hathor decides to record the “Dead Concept” demo using some of the unrecorded songs from 1996-1999 with the help of Pro-Contra. Following some internal disputes the band decides to exclude the vocal. part three-

Blessed by the Darkness

At the end of 1999 and the beginning of 2000 Hathor is a three man band, with the bass player doing also the vocal part. The style also changes to black metal and Stoleru Cristi, a keyboard player, joins the band.The new line-up was:

Mihai Marius- bass/vocals Mihai Adrian- guitar Stoleru Cristi- keyboard Dimitrenco Constantin- drums
