Bane Band

Created in 2006 by Branislav as a side project.

Being a one-man band, a Demo called "Unfinished" was recorded in 2007, but never released. BANE then fell into oblivion. Two years of silence and absence had passed before the writing process started to develop again.

For the first time a new line-up was gathered in late 2009 when the band recorded a 4-track EP, and soon after, “Misanthropia” was unleashed and released through an Indie label from the Netherlands (shortly after the EP sold out and got re-released through a different label). With a few struggles with the new members once again, BANE finally managed to start performing live rituals in the European underground scene in the year of 2010.

The same year, the band's long awaited debut full-length album entitled "Chaos, Darkness & Emptiness", recorded in HellSound Studio (CZ), was officially released and is now available worldwide on Digi-CD/CD/MC Format. The album artwork was done by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Machine Head, Kreator, Soulfly, Hatebreed, Dark Funeral, Testament, Dimmu Borgir, Obituary, Borknagar, Mayhem, Vader, Belphegor, Enslaved, Ragnarok, Absu, Satyricon, etc).

In 2011, the band focused on touring all over Europe and took part in the "Black Souls Rebellion" 5-Way Split Digi-CD, and appeared on the "Necrodeath Ritual" Split MC with cult Malaysian Black Metal band Neftaraka as well.

In early 2012, after the completion of another European Tour the band released "In Endless Silence", their first single & official video clip from the 2nd full-length album "The Acausal Fire". The album saw light of day in November of the same year, released via US Label Abyss Records.

During the same year, the band also released a 7" Split entitled "Dissolve And Coagulate" with Russian brothers Lycanthropy, with artwork done by the legendary Christophe Szpajdel (Emperor, Moonspell, Nargaroth, etc).

The band went on hiatus for a short period in 2013 before re-uniting in Montreal, Quebec (Canada) where they recorded and released their single "In Darkness And Hatred" via Nocturne Magazine.

In 2014, BANE performed in North America for the very first time, with the new line-up.

So far, BANE shared stages with many well-known international acts such as Sodom (Ger), Malevolent Creation (USA), Decapitated (Pol), Inquisition (Col), Dornenreich (Aut), Agrypnie (Ger), Cor Scorpii (Nor), Svart Crown (Fra), Root (Cze), etc, had several European Tours and played many other Concerts & Festivals in Canada, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Bosnia & Hercegovina.

BANE have been published in several magazines such as Metal Hammer, Terrorizer, Zero Tolerance and Decibel Magazine to name a few. Their albums average 80% or higher on The Metal Archives (Encyclopedia Metallum), with over 200 published reviews over the Internet in various blogs and webzines. Throughout the years, BANE has generated well over a quarter million views on YouTube and have sold thousands of CD's, vinyls & tapes worldwide.

And so the Legacy continues...
