The metal band Essence was formed in the late winter of 2005 in the North of Denmark, by the four young musicians: Lasse, Mark, Martin and Nefer. Through their common interest in metal music and with inspiration from bands like Exodus, Kreator, Slayer and Testament, Essence started a search for their own personal sound and style. The band has worked hard to get out on the road and to perform as many shows as possible. This hard working attitude has given the four thrashers the honour of performing with some of the best bands in the industry – among others, Mnemic, Mercenary and Artillery. With these live-experiences, and not at least with their talent, they recorded their first and self-financed EP, “Art in Imperfection”, in 2007. It was recorded at Skafte Recordings by producer and guitarist Casper Skafte (Smaxone, Mercenary). Afterwards the EP was mastered by Ziggy at ZigZound Studio (Illdisposed, Hatesphere, Mercenary, ao.).
During 2007 and 2008 the EP received massive critical acclaim from various internet sites and magazines and created a great amount of respect throughout the metal scene for the talent and hard work, which Essence among others has become known for. Essence has proven themselves be an extremely well-playing live band and succeeds in getting everyone among the audience fired up, regardless to age, gender or musical preferences.
Essence is: Lasse Skov – Lead Guitar & Vocals Martin Haumann – Drums Mark Drastrup – Lead Guitar Nefer – Bass Guitar & Back-up Vocals
