Hungary's Ektomorf was founded in 1994 by brothers Zoltán (vocals, guitar) and Csaba Farkas (bass), with a survey of adapting Sepultura's hot trade name of "creation metallic element" to their own national esthetic -- that is, mid-'90s death metallic element spiced with Roma, or Gypsy folk music. And with their 1996 debut, Hangok, the young band (then realized by guitarist Mihály Jano and drummer Csaba Ternovan) successfully did but that, although with importantly more modest results than the foremost Brazilians. Slightly better were their eponymous sophomore pleasure trip iI age later on (which saw Jano replaced by Béla Marksteiner on guitar) and 2000's Kalyi Jag (recorded as a trio), but, come 2002's I Scream Up to the Sky, Ektomorf (in one case again bulked up to foursome with the arrival of another second guitar player, Laszlo Kovacs) appeared to make forgone much of their original mindset to become mere Soulfly clones. These worries were sadly confirmed by their succeeding iI albums -- 2004's Destroy and 2005's Instinct -- both of which featured modern six-stringer Tamás Schrottner and were released worldwide by Nuclear Blast. A third Nuclear Blast release, Outcast, appeared in 2007.
