Reason

Reason (HUNGARY) was founded in 1994 by Attila Horváth, Gábor Dudás and Attila Barna. The early days were characterised by an experimenting attitude towards music, however, in three years’ time the band developed its own style.

Our first demo was recorded in 1995 under the title “National Porno”, but it was not until the next year, when we finally found our own path with the help of our new keyboard player. At that time the band grew more serious both musically and textually, which is represented in our second demo called “Moonlight”. The material received positive critics in the Hungarian Metal Hammer magazine. We have never denied that our main influences have always been such great bands like Type O Negative or Paradise Lost, but at the same time all of us have been inspired by musicians and artists of entirely different genres as well.

The following years were predominated by playing in various clubs in the country and in Budapest as well (e.g. Riff-Röff Rockklub). Besides, 2000 saw the birth of our third material called “Broods”, which unfortunately did not prevent us from having temporarily abandon the band. After a period of one and a half years it became clear for two of the founding members, Gábor Dudás and Attila Horváth that they can imagine their future musical activities only within this band.

Finally, after a number of changes in the line-up, Reason has reached its present state. In 2005 we finished “Captive of Dreams” and we are planning to record our first album. Recently, we have played mainly in Budapest (Marco Polo, Red Hole, Woodoo), but we also had a chance to play in festivals like Night of Doom (in Debrecen) and Gothica V-VI (Petofi Csarnok).
