Biography

DysthymiA was born beginning 2003 in the best Tuscany countryside, the Chianti.

In a few months, tank to the personal and musical feeling among the group, they enter the studio to record "Mind?Will?Action" a professional demo-cd made up of six tracks. The music proposed comes out from the passion and the different influences of the members: technical and melodic death metal which led to thrash and black with some atmospheric moments.
"Mind?Will?Action" was the beginning of wonderful years. The record didn't arrive to labels because they wanted first to reach their public and to grow with live experiences. In two years, from 2003 to 2005, "Mind?Will?Action" opened DysthymiA top the most important locals of Italy and led them to a dream, the first European tour in Slovenia and Austria. The reviews of "Mind?Will?Action" are all exceptional! Often Top-demo both in Italy and international press.

After all, the Italian label Urlo Music (Mothercare etc?), proposed them to distribute their first full-length.

After the success of MetalCamp 05 unfortunately Giacomo, the singer, must stop singing for one year due to health reasons. During this period Giacomo and Filippo inaugurate the Underworld Studio, a recording studio with the aim to produce young metal bands. In the meantime the label Urlo music closes and the drummer Edoardo leaves the group? so begin a period of auditions to find a substitute.

At the beginning of 2007 finally arrives the new drummer: Giuseppe Bracchi. With his technical preparation and composer experience together with the will of Giacomo to come back on stage, they make a brand new DysthymiA. On March 2007 the group comes on stage to test some new songs with their pubblic. The focus is on the songwriting, they spent a lot of time in their own Underworld Studio to find the best arrangements. Meanwhile Giacomo make his performance on the stage at Evolution Festival 2007 singing "Uroboric Forms" with Cynic.
