History
Grimus performing at Waves Vienna 2013

While studying in Cluj-Napoca, the members started out as the 5-piece rock band Revers. In 2006, after having suffered multiple changes in the lineup, Grimus released a demo album. Their song Solitude is declared Song of the Year 2006 by City FM Radio. By 2007 the band received invitations to play at most music festivals in Romania. They take their name from Salman Rushdie's 1975 novel Grimus.

In October 2007, Grimus won the National Finals of the Global Battle of the Bands[1][2][3] and represented Romania in the World Finals, releasing their debut album Panikon in 2008. The band then went on to work with British producer Adam Whittaker on the critically acclaimed follow-up "Egretta" for A&A Records and the subsequent "Emergence". The band's most recent release came in 2018.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: So that leaves HTTP, probably? Binary mode is supported, I assume?
gollark: I tested it on a few test cases and it seems okay.
gollark: Is there a BLAKE2 implementation for CC? It might make various potatOS things faster.
gollark: It might actually be an issue with HTTP and not the hash function itself; different text encoding or something. I am using binary mode, so this seems unlikely.
