Sincarnate begun its descent to the other side back in 2005, as Marius (vocals and bass guitar) and Dyo (guitars) started looking for some seemingly alienated souls to help them express in music and lyrics a very personal view on what we call “human condition”. In a short time, the crew has been joined by Enthroll (second guitar) who brought along Gigi (drums). The formula has been completed shortly after by Cristi (keyboards), following a forum announcement and Razvan (bass guitar) since meanwhile Marius decided to concentrate his efforts exclusively on the vocal parts.
2006 was an year of consolidation, when the first live concerts took place in local clubs and the band started writing the song for its first material, called On the Procrustean Bed, recorded in the spring of 2007 at the Taine Studio in Bucharest. Sincarnate started looking for a producer to release their debut and in late 2007 the band agreed with Axa Valaha Productions to release the MCD in pro-format in early 2008. The end of 2007 brought also the first departure from the band, Enthroll moving definitively to Italy and Marius relocating to Cluj. A short period of time the band had to turn to the services of Fenrir (guitar) and Fane (vocals) in order to honor already booked concerts, until Nicu (guitars) joined the band and Marius could make his comeback in the spring of 2008.
On the Procrustean Bed was well received by the local press and received even international positive reactions, songs from the MCD being released on compilations by magazines like Ancient Ceremonies (POR) or Brutallica (BUL). Reviews of the material were featured in publications or zines like Metalfan, Metalact, Bang Your Brain, Metal Assault, Kogaionon, Vampire Magazine, Vampirezine, Necroscope Metalzine (POL), etc.
From that point Sincarnate on sustained a lot of shows within and outside the Romanian borders (Germany, Slovenia, Poland, Moldavia, Bulgaria). The most worthy to be mentioned were: the opening show for Moonspell in Bucharest on the Mihai Eminescu Arena, the show within the Artmania Festival 2008 in Sibiu (where Sincarnate shared the stage on the first day of the festival with bands like Tiamat, Lacrimosa and Aqua de Annique), the participation at two consecutive edition of the Moldavian Brutal Attack Fest in 2008 and 2009, the invitation to open the Dokma Film Festival in Slovenia, etc. Most recently, Sincarnate was invited to headline the second day of the Gahlen Moscht Open Air Festival 2010 in Germany.
The last two months of 2009 found the band again in the studio, recording the first full-length, named As I Go Under. The opus was mixed and mastered by Jeremy Krull at the Strategic Sonics Doom Room in Chappaqua, New York, USA during January – March 2010 and is planned to be released in the fall of 2010.
