ETHS' long awaited album "III" is now available everywhere, except in North America where it will hit the stores on June 5th.
This is the perfect moment to make the band's debut full-length "Sôma" available for their fast growing fan community once again. When "Sôma" was originally released in 2004, it became an overnight success and catapulted the quintet from Marseilles not only on the covers of nearly every music magazine in France, but also outsold established metal-headliners like CHILDREN OF BODOM or CRADLE OF FILTH there. The pure raw and undiluted energy and anger bursting out from "Sôma" and the stunning vocals of singer Candice make this album a milestone until today. Now re-issued with four previously unreleased exclusive bonus tracks from the 2003 demo sessions, this version of "Sôma" is a must have for old and new fans!
This reissue of "Sôma" has been scheduled for a May 14th release.
The video for "Adonaï" (from new album "III") can be seen on Season of Mist's YouTube channel.
All physical editions of "III" (including the limited edition box set), as well as ETHS merchandising, are available on Season of Mist's e-shop.
Biography
In their native France ETHS are superstars. There the quintet from Marseilles has graced about every music magazine cover. With their third full-length under the tell-tale title "III", ETHS are now ready to conquer the world. Produced by Fredrik Nordström (ARCH ENEMY, IN FLAMES) in Studio Fredman this album comes with a massive yet crisp and nuanced sound that perfectly fits their modern Metal style.
Hailing from an ancient Mediterranean harbour town it should be no surprise that ETHS' music resembles a vital melting pot of Core, post-Korn Metal, orchestral and electronic elements and more that seemingly effortlessly merge into organic, hard and still very catchy songs. At the front of the band, live and on record stands singer Candice, easily mistaken to be responsible only for her honey-sweet angelic vocals. Wrong, as the dark haired beauty unleashes brutal growls, fierce rasps and venomous hissing no less impressively. "III" also marks the return of former drummer Guillaume aka Yom, reuniting the praised French ensemble to their original line-up – with the exception of new bass player Damien.
To underline their challenge abroad, for the first time in their career ETHS will release an international edition of "III" with four English versions of the original French songs. ETHS were officially conceived in 1999 although Candice had already joined outstanding guitarists Staif and Greg two years earlier. The band quickly rose to fame after their release of the "Samantha" EP (2002) and already performed big headliner shows when "Sôma" came out in 2004. ETHS' album became an overnight success and catapulted the quintet from Marseille not only on the cover of nearly every native music magazine, but also outsold established acts like CHILDREN OF BODOM or CRADLE OF FILTH that year in France. "Sôma" will be re-released in May 2012 with excusive bonus material to satisfy the continued high demand for this album.
With the follow-up "Tératologie" (2008) ETHS demonstrated their experience and maturity grown out of playing hundreds of show. This album saw the band beginning to tour more abroad and gaining fans all over Europe. Now ETHS are ready for the next step at home and beyond all borders by embarking on an extend musical journey starting in France during spring and later continuing in Europe with plans to reach out overseas well. With "III" ETHS will blow you away!
