Ecnephias is an extreme occult metal band formed in Potenza, Italy, in 1996 by the frontman vocalist/guitarist Mancan (lawyer and musician). However, despite having made three demo tracks, the italian act was idle between 1997 and 2004. The current line up, led by Mancan himself (supported by Sicarius), has welcomed, since 2011, Nikko, Miguel and Demil, called to replace, among others, Antonio Donadeo (well known for his past experience behind drums with Vital Remains). As of today, the band’s releases are the 2005 demo “November”, the 2007 full-length “Dominium Noctis” (Nekromantik Records/Masterpiece), the 2008 Ep “Haereticus” (Nekromantik Records/Masterpiece), the 2010 full-length “Ways of Descention” (Code666 Records/Audioglobe) - “descention” is a “pun” -, the 2011 full-length “Inferno” (Scarlet Records/Audioglobe), the 2012 cd compilation “Cold winds from beyond” (Behemoth Prod./Masterpiece), a selection of 18 tracks from the band’s first three works (“Dominium Noctis”, “Haereticus” and “November”), and the 2013 full-length “Necrogod” (Code666 Records/Audioglobe) with the special guest Sakis from Rotting Christ, all of which received a positive response from the specialized press (Metal Maniac, Rock Hard, Terrorizer, Flash, Metal Shock, Grind Zone, Terrorizer, Zero Tolerance and many other metal mags and webzines) and gained the band wide esteem in the underground scene. Many reviewers consider Mancan as one of the best italian singers of the genre, for the exceptional timbre of his voice and the variety of his style (including clean baritone vocals and extreme growls). The sound of Ecnephias can be described as a personal blend of death, black, doom and gothic metal with a very personal ‘mediterranean’ and ‘theatrical’ touch. The language used is for the most part English, but a distinctive trait of the band is the frequent use of inserts in Latin and Italian. Ecnephias had in many occasions the chance to perform live as headliner or opening act for historical bands such as Exodus (Usa). Three years after taking part in the XV edition (featuring, among others, Forgotten Tomb, Extrema, Vader, UDO) the band has been confirmed for the XVIII Agglutination Festival (Rotting Christ, Dark Tranquillity). The band also played at the Total Metal Festival in 2009 (Finntroll, Malevolent Creation) and in 2014 (Moonspell, Annihilator, Behemoth) and in other musical contexts with bands such as Opera IX, Necromass and Frostmoon Eclipse. A new chapter is expected at the beginning of 2015, “Ecnephias”: the most important and exciting release of the lucanian act. The year 2014 means so much to the band: it is the first ANNIVERSARY that celebrates 10 YEARS of activity of Ecnephias. For the event the band has recorded the new album, the third in a “trilogy” that began with “Inferno” and continued with “Necrogod”. Ecnephias is a Registered Trademark - All rights reserved

The art of Ecnephias is exoteric, the art of Abbas Taeter is, on the contrary, esoteric. Both ways are occult magical paths. (Mancan)
