History

Formed in Timișoara, while the members of the band were students there. Having won a couple of song-contests, and being invited to various festivals, the band was signed to the state-owned record Electrecord label, and managed to release 4 songs on the b-side of one of the company's "Formații rock" compilations in 1984.

After finishing their studies in 1987, the group moved back to their native Oradea, and managed to release their first LP "Celelalte Cuvinte I".[1]

Following the release of "Celelalte Cuvinte II", they headed in a heavier direction, leaving behind their old school progressive rock sound, and opting for a more aggressive style, influenced by heavy metal and thrash metal, while still maintaining a progressive edge.[2]

By the early 2000s, the group have returned to their progressive rock sound, but in a more modern alternative rock inspired direction, still maintaining Călin's distinct high-pitched vocal style.

After touring the country for decades, the group has released its first live record, a double CD entitled "Electric Live" in 2019.

gollark: If it's too similar, then the low Levenshtein distance between apiospatial config files and your APIONET config file *could* actually open an informational path through apio*meta*space, which would then allow IRC messages to travel across it, thus possibly causing incursions.
gollark: Well, if the configuration is too similar, then it might be too similar to configuration files used by IRC networks in apiospace. Now, of course, most apiospatial information is highly cognitometaapiohyperhazardous, so it would be bad if it entered normal IRC networks.
gollark: You must install ngircd, set up appropriate SSL certificates (or use existing ones), and do various configuration.

gollark: I can't.
