ESQARIAL

     The band began its activities in 1991. First demo tape titled "Refuse" surfaced a year later. However because of the poor quality of the recording it did not have a far-reaching effect.

After two years and few changes to the squad a second demo tape "A Conspiracy of Silence" is recorded in Wroclaw's Digital studio. This recording made its appearance thanks to Baron Records and brought some attention onto the band. It also enabled ESQARIAL to perform on stage with such renowned bands as ACID DRINKERS, BETRAYER, DRAGON, MAGNUS among others. Soon after release of "A Conspiracy of Silence" few more changes in the bands personnel took place, namely guitarist and a drummer. Soon after ESQARIAL begins to work on new material.

At the end of 1997 they professionally record new album "Amorphous" in Fonoplastykon studio. In 1998 Pagan Records releases the album. "Amorphous" is welcomed with great reviews at home and internationally, emphasizing on great virtuoso solos, which caught attention of media as well as concert organizers.

In 1999 ESQARIAL already has new material, however due to lack of financial backing the recording does not take place until 2000. Fonoplastykon is again chosen as the recording studio. The production is called "Discoveries" and contains 10 high quality tracks in death metal style with beautiful and powerful guitar solos. In June 2001 ESQARIAL signed contract with polish label Empire Records and their second album released in Autumn same year. In Europe new album is marketed and distributed by Plastic Head, in America is available as licenses on Crash Music. After leaving the studio the band began promoting their album on the tour with VADER and KRISIUN.

The year of 2002 brings another album titled "Inheritance", which immediately takes place at the top of Polish metal productions and becomes one of the most wanted albums. After the tour comes the idea of recording album that would mix classical masterpieces with Esqarial's style. Grzegorz Kupczyk - legendary heavy metal vocalist of TURBO i CETI takes a part in this project and the result of this great co-operation is new album - "Klassika", which was first presented by ESQARIAL at METALMANIA FESTIVAL among such famous bands as MORBID ANGEL, SOULFLY and MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP.
