BIOGRAPHY
Formed in Valencia, in early 2000 under the name “Hexenprozesse”, the band made its first steps combining many musical styles like Melodic Death Metal and Black Metal and moulding them into a unique and particular.

In 2003 they decided to change their musical path, focusing on a more complete, darker, slower, melancholic and mournful sound. Doom had made its impression and presence in their compositions.  That was the moment when a new project was born, under the name of Evadne. The following year they released
“In The Bitterness Of Our Souls”, a self-released 3 song demo and obtained worldwide attention with many great reviews.

After performing a bunch of shows in the Iberian Peninsula and being added to a number of compilations, Evadne started the hard work and focused in what would be their first proper release. “The 13th Condition” was born therefore,with nine songs, full of melancholic and mourning atmospheres and was self-released at the beginning of 2007, with important collaborations from the likes of Lady Nott (Singer and violinist at Narsilion). The cover art was created and designed by Morgana of “Iberian Black Arts”.

Once again Evadne obtained great reviews across the world and became one of the most promising national bands; growing in the Doom Metal genre, and sharing stages with other important and relevant bands of the same genre, like Swallow the Sun, Officium Triste, Helevorn, Autumnal, Dawn Of Tears and Tears Of Martyr.

In November 2008 the band was included in Spain Kills (Vol. 09: Doom Metal) with the song
“I will place them”. This compilation was released worldwide by the label Xtreem Music.

Throughout 2009 Evadne focused shaping and creating their second studio release, a concept album full of despair, melancholy and dark passages, harmonizing with the band’s new concept which they wanted to transmit to the masses. This period also brought some line-up changes.

In early 2010 the band joined the “20th anniversary tour” of Novembers Doom, sharing stage with the Chicago band and the Galician band Kathaarsys, on one of the three shows they performed in Spain. At the end of 2010 Evadne took part in two of the most important European doom-metal festivals  has right now, namely Madrid Is The Dark II and Dutch Doom Days IX.

The Shortest Way is the bands newest piece of work, a conceptual album; sad and dark in the typical style of 18th century Romanticism.

Eight songs that evoke sadness, sorrow and anger in equal measure.
