Biography:
Eterna Ansiedad wasn’t originally conceived as an all-female act, but after several unsuccessful experiences the vocalist and founder Yesica Castelo rightly chose this path.

Their first incarnation came in November 2005, with the perennial Yesi as its soul and voice, and Gonzo, Juanu and Ripp completed the alignment of the band then called “Gaze Of Nemesis”

By mid-2006, in a trio format (Jesse, Gonzo and new bassist Kique), they were renamed as Eterna Ansiedad and started composing their own songs and covering progressive, classical and neoclassical metal bands such as Stratovarius, Dream Theater, Angra and Sonata Arctica.

The difficulty of finding drummers and keyboardists forced the band to perform their songs acoustically, as collected in their first demo and live performances under the title of “Acoustic Neoclassical Night”

The first own song recorded at Tiki Tiki Records estudios was “Sin Poder Continuar” (“Unable to Continue”), but who really were unable to continue were Pablo, Jorge and Kike who left the ship in late 2006.

The following two years saw the coming and going of components, and two new songs “Necesito Ganar” and “Pruebas”. Even so, they were not enough to keep the band cohesion and in June 2008 Eterna Ansiedad closed its first chapter.

Yesi overcame a difficult year, and in September 2009 decided to reform and search for female musicians. Martina, Samanta and Gabriela answered the call, thus giving rise to one of the more stable lineups of the Argentinean band.

Since then Eterna Ansiedad have gone stage after stage performing their songs and getting ready to record a new demo.

Biography:
Aythis was founded in early 2006 by Carline Van Roos, who also serves on the doom bands Lethian Dreams and Remembrance.

Their music is hard to describe, but it’s always shrouded in dark atmosphere and gloomy neoclassical landscapes. These funereal winds are exalted by the keyboards and voice of Caroline, who explores themes such as silence, death and loneliness.

The songs “Aythis” and “Shallow Blackout” were the prelude to “Doppelgänger”, the Aythis debut album, with which she reached a contract with the English label Paradigms Recordings, who released the album in November 2007.

After a label change, signing with Prikosnovénie in March 2009, the new album “Glacia” saw the light, more orchestral than its predecessor but honouring the neoclassical and intimate features of the project.

Lineup:
Carline Van Roos (Kyrinia) – Vocals, all the instruments

2007, “Doppelgänger” (LP)
2009, “Glacia” (LP)
