MAKROTHUMIA was formed in 1994 by Karban.
Edmond and Varga 'Pippen'.
M. Gabi brought the idea of the name. MAKROTHUMIA
is the capacity of conscience, to realize what you really do.
MAKROTHUMIA is the high resistance of the mind in front
of action and emotion. The first line-up of the band was: Varga
Pippen-vocals, Karban Eduard- guitars, Mafa Gabi-drums,
Vaszilcsin Ina-violin and keyboards, and Demenescu 'Deme'
Florin-keyboards.
First gigs took place at the beginning of 1995, with bands like POST
MORTEM, GRIMEGOD...
At Buzau Top'T'95 (the most important Romanian underground festival) Makrothumia
was "The best new death/doom/black metal band".
In May 1995 the band recorded (in only 8 hours) the first demo -
"Four Stories About Nothing". The line-up featured
at that time V. Pippen on vocals V. Ina on keyboards and
violin.
1996 meant lots of lives appearances and creative work.
In a new line MAKROTHUMIA recorded in may 1997 the first
L.P. - "The Rit of
Individuation". An 8 track journey into the collective
unconscious's archetypes world ... courtesy of MAKROTHUMIA
and its progressive/doom/death metal style. |
