Teurgia

TEURGIA is a Hungarian pagan metal band. (2003-present) TEURGIA was established in Nagykanizsa, Hungary on 15th January 2003. The formation that time was the following: Csaba Czirj?k - vocal, J?nos Moln?r - bass, Zolt?n Pint?r - drums, Szil?rd Mosd?si - guitar Not much later we recorded a 'home-made' demo (with the title of 'Decay', with 3 Hungarian songs), which was not popularized because of its quality - only 20 copies were made. In June 2003 Teurgia had its debut, and then at the talent contest of Rockmaraton we won an opportunity to appear on the main stage in 2004.

2004.
In autumn of 2004 we had our first studio-experience: we recorded the 'Mors Tua Ero'-material, four Hungarian songs were recorded on it. We published it in author's edition and made about 100 copies.
During the year of 2004 we could play as the guest of Benediction (UK), and later with the Italian Vexed. Because of the 'Mors Tua Ero'-material we appeared in the 'Gorezone' programme of 'Tilos radio - Hungary' in November 2004 and we got a chance for a two-hour-interview. We had more and more concerts, and luckily we got better and better reviews. Then we realised that our music would be more developed with two guitarists therefore we tried to find a new member. In December 2004 Mih?ly Major joined us but unfortunately, several months later we broke up with him. The band had a short depression period after that. We wanted to create the new material but there was always something that set us back to do it. So we kept putting it off.

2005.
Teurgia were invited to Morarock festival in Italy in 2005 and as the result of it we got a special award at the talent contest. After we had arrived home, ?dam Somogyi joined us, who could integrate into the band very soon. Since 2005 we started to rewrite our songs for two guitars.

2006.
By May we could record the material - 'On The Way To The End' / 'A V?g ?tjan' - which we had been postponing for a long time. On 9th August 2006 our new demo was released in author's edition. There are six songs on it, now at first two songs in English, and the demo has the programme time of 30 minutes. We appeard again in the 'Gorezone' programme of 'Tilos Radio - Hungary' in October 2006. The band got a lot of gig requests from many places.

2007.
Until spring all of the 'On The Way To The End' CDs were sold out. Then we made the demo downloadable for everybody on our website. At the begining of summer 2007 We decided that it is time to start the recording of the first full length, but unfortunately Csaba Czirj?k has left the band before We started the studio works. The perfect new vocalist was found not as far from the band as We thought. ?d?m Somogyi became our new singer in June of 2007.
Teurgia went through a strange rebirth after the new 4-membered line up came alive. A few gigs were made with the new line up and We finished the recordings with Soma on vocals in August of 2007. The final master have been done at autumn of 2008.
