Eths (variably stylized as eths and ETHS) was a French metal band from Marseille, formed in 1996.[1]
History
Eths formed in 1996 under the name What's the Fuck, with a lineup consisting of vocalist-guitarist Stéphane Bihl and guitarist Grégory Rouvière.[2][3] The following year, Candice Clot, the best friend of Bihl's ex-girlfriend, joined the group as a lead vocalist, and the band was renamed Melting Point.[4][5]
Through 1999, drummer Guillaume Dupré and bassist Marc Burghoffer were added to the lineup, and together they formed Eths.[6][7] That same year they released a first demo titled Eths, containing "Encore" and "Rien à Dire".[8][9] The band also appeared on a CD compilation titled Attentat Sonore.[10]
The band was part of Coriace, a small collective bringing together metal bands representing southeast France.[11]
In 2000, Eths released a seven-track EP titled Autopsie.[12]
On 14 November 2001, Eths was the opening act for Machine Head at L'Usine in Istres.[13][14] The band featured on two CD compilations, Boukan and A Core Et à Cri.[10]
In March 2002, Eths made a television appearance at Rock Press Club's Canal Jimmy, performing "Samantha" and "Dévore".[15] In September 2002, the band released a second EP titled Samantha and gained acclaim in the French extreme metal circuit.[7]
On 11 October 2004, Eths released its first full-length album, Soma, and launched a 120-date national concert tour.[16][7] That year, Clot, aged twenty three, who sang exclusively in her native language, said that she wrote "about things that scare me, that disgust me, about what I have inside of me".[17]
In 2006, the group announced the departure of both Dupré and Burghoffer.[5] As a result, the drumming on Eths' 2007 album Tératologie was performed by Pierre Belleville, then the drummer for Lofofora.[18] Dupré returned to the band in 2011.[9] Through constant touring, Soma would go on to sell over 25,000 copies.[9]
Considered "very popular in part of the youth" in France, Eths was often featured on the covers of Hard 'n' Heavy, Rock One, Rock Mag, and Rock Sound magazines.[11]
On 18 September 2012, frontwoman Candice Clot left the band.[19] Virginie Goncalves of Kells and Nelly Wood replaced Clot as temporary touring vocalists.[20]
In 2013, the group announced Rachel Aspe as their new lead vocalist.[21] In the same month, an injury led Rouvière to depart the band.[22]
On 30 November 2016, the band notified the public of their breakup via a Facebook post and announced their last concert in Angers on 3 December 2016.[20]
The original lineup of Bihl, Clot, Rouvière, Dupré, and Burghoffer reunited to play two final concerts, which took place at Le Moulin in Marseille and Le Trianon in Paris, on 8 April 2017, and 30 April 2017, respectively.[20][23] The two concerts were also a posthumous homage to the band's friends, Mika Bleu and Julien Isilion.[23][20]
On 15 December 2022, the official Eths Facebook page was updated with the status "Eths 2023". Shortly after, the band was confirmed to perform at Hellfest in June 2023.[24]
Musical style and influences
Eths cited as influences Meshuggah, Tool, Gojira,[25] Korn, Sepultura,[13] and Metallica. They also appreciated electro, hip hop and jazz.[26] Clot cited alternative rock band Hole as an early influence.[27] Clot had no female voices as references but respected the work of My Ruin's Tairrie B.[28] Aspe said her early influences include Slipknot and Walls Of Jericho, bands that made her discover "her vocal range while growling".[4]
Eths' musical style was described as metalcore,[29] groove metal,[30] and nu metal.[1] La Dépêche du Midi described the band as "Practising a neo-metal imbued with black [metal] and unscrupulously favouring a slight tendency for death metal."[31] Metal Hammer called the band "dark tech-metal".[4]
Author Jérôme Alberola[32] wrote that Autopsie, Samantha and Soma displayed "gothic-tinged death metal" featuring blast beats that directed the band's musical aggression towards "the deathcore subgenre".[33] Heavy metal magazine Hard Force labelled Soma as alternative metal,[34] Tératologie and Ankaa as death metal,[35][36] and III as metalcore.[37]
Bihl stated the band liked to mix styles because they tended to get weary.[27] Clot emphasised, "We do metal, because it brings together all our influences, and we all like different things, without labels."[17]
Clot was the primary lyricist, but Bihl and Dupré also took part.[13][31]
