We're the Metal band known as EUFOBIA and our lineup is: NIKI (Guitar & Vocals), STEFF (Bass & Vocals), BLAGO (Drums & Vocals) and IVAN (Guitar).The name EUFOBIA was chosen from the ancient Greek language where it literally means "fear of good". Our style could be defined as something close to Death'n'Roll, even if it's much more complicated.
We started as a trio six years ago, but our band was not very active until 2008 when we started to tour regularly around Europe, traveling with Carnal on CURSE THIS TOUR 2008, with ONSLAUGHT and Suicidal Angels on HORNS UP TOUR 2008, with Parricide and Abusiveness on THE GRINCORE BALCAN TOUR II 2010 and with Krow on INSEMINATION EUROPEAN TOUR 2010. Between those long tours we managed to take many single shows and mini tours, sharing the stage with famous bands such ONSLAUGHT, DARK TRANQUILLITY, MALEVOLENT CREATION, SINISTER, AGATHOCLES, NEGURA BUNGET, KEEP OF KALESSIN, SUICIDAL ANGELS, as well as with many acclaimed members of the underground brotherhood.
We played almost 100 live shows in the last few years, touring in countries like: GERMANY, POLAND, HUNGARY, SERBIA, MACEDONIA, MOLDOVA, ROMANIA and our Motherland BULGARIA, and participated sometimes in more than one edition of some traditional underground metal festivals like: SATAN KLAUS METAL PARTY (Bucharest/Romania), BARROCK FEST (Petrosan/Romania), DEATH FEST (Oradea/Romania), BRUTAL FEST (Iasi/Romania), TATTOO & MUSIC FEST (Iasi/Romania),OST MOUNTAIN FEST (Rasnov/Romania), BRUTAL ATTACK FEST(Chisinau/Moldova), THE POWER OF METAL (Sofia/Bulgaria), TRIBUTE TO CHUCK SCHULDINER (Sofia/Bulgaria), UNITED UNDERGROUND (Sofia/Bulgaria), WINTERSTORMS (Sofia/Bulgaria) and more.
Our first Official Album, called "INSEMINATION" was released in January 2010 by the Romanian label AXA VALAHA PRODUCTIONS (www.myspace.com/axavalahaproductions). The record was produced by one of the best Bulgarian producers D.Velchev in STAIN STUDIO(www.stainstudio.com). The artwork was done by one of the most famous Eastern European graphic designers C. Chioreanu from TWILIGHT 13 MEDIA (www.twilight13media.com). The biggest Bulgarian distributor of Rock and Metal music WIZARD (www.wizard.bg) was chosen to take the local distribution in the country, while SEVARED RECORDS (www.sevared.com) took the distribution it the U.S.A.
At the beginning of the following year 2011 we were ready to release our second Official album, called "CUP OF MUD". The album was produced once again by D.Velchev and the artwork was done yet again by C. Chioreanu. For this release we inked a deal with WIZARD(www.wizard.bg), a company known for its partnership with almost every single major metal label or distributor in the world. One of the biggest distributors of Metal Music, the German company TWILIGHT-VERTRIEB (www.twilight-vertrieb.de) took the worldwide distribution of the album. The single "CRUEL CHILD" was chosen by the cult German Metal magazine LEGACY (www.legacy.de) for the compilation of their 70th issue, released in 32 000 copies, and for a compilation of the Serbian NOCTURNE MAGAZINE (www.nocturnemagazine.net) as well. The booking and the management of our band was entrusted to S. Yanakiev from SHADOWLAND MUSIC (www.shadowland-music.com) .
We shot our Official Videos, working with B.Karamfilov for "CRUEL CHILD", "FROG" "VIOLIN"and "PISSING SQUAD", and with A.Stojanov for "MALIGNA", "RAIN OF SNAILS" and "JUSTINE".
