AGNOSYS was born in late 2001, when Julien (bass) and Maxime (vocals) joined what was left from a band previously formed by Fabrice (drums), Stephane and Cedric (guitars). At that time the name of the band is AMALEK. The first songs, in a Death / Thrash Metal style, show the will of the band to integrate a lot of various elements in their music, picking influences in most existing Metal styles. In 2002, after a year of work, AMALEK record their first demo, Inner desolation, including 4 original songs and a DISSECTION cover. Even though this work is done very fast (the recording only took one day), the feedback is pretty good. Later on, the band keep composing, with the same approach as on the demo : both melodic and brutal parts, european and US influences, etc. In late 2003, AMALEK start recording a new demo in studio, working with Andrew from 7th Nemesis. In the same time, they decide to change the name of the band, and become AGNOSY in february 2004.
