Biography : Esqarial

The band was founded in 1991. The first demo, entitled "Refuse" appeared a year later, yet due to poor quality of the sound, it wasn't spread extensively. Two years later, with a few line-up changes, the second demo tape, "A Conspiracy of Silence" was recorded. Soon after, it was released under Baron Records label. Then the band started to gain some considerable interest, playing gigs along with bands like Acid Drinkers, Betrayer, Dragon or Magnus - top ones of that time. Shortly after "A Conspiracy of Silence" is released, there is the time for another line-up change.

The band starts rehearsing for a new material. By the end of may in 1997, Esqarial records the new album "Amorphous" at Fonoplastykon - a professional recording studio, soon to be released in 1998 by Pagan Records. The album gets very good reviews in Poland and abroad, with particular regard to virtuoso soloing on in, which made the band more popular with media and gig organizers.

1999 is when the band, having prepared some new songs, is unable to record them until 2000 - due to lack of funds. Ultimately, the choice is Fonoplastykon again, the most reliable and popular studio.The new album is called "Discoveries" and incorporates 10 high quality death metal songs with astounding, perfect guitar solos. In June 2001, Esqarial makes a deal with Empire Records, "Discoveries" is released all around the world. The album is out on the 25th of October in Poland, a month later in Europe (Plastic Head), in USA and Canada (Crash Music) with the beginning of 2002. Soon after the polish premiere, the band hits the road for the first official Polish tour with Vader and Krisiun to name two.

In 2002 the band releases "Inheritance", which scores high amongst the best produced albums in Poland and makes as much as 5000 copies sold. The band hits the road, again.

In the midst of 2003 an idea emerges to create an album with strongly classical-ized songs. Grzegorz Kupczyk, TURBO and CETI vocalist agrees to contribute to this project. As a result, "Klassika" is released, having its live premiere at Metalmania 2004, where Esqarial has the opportunity to play on one stage with Morbid Angel, Soulfly, Moonspell...
