History
Yyrkoon, pronounced 'EAR koon' is a death metal band which was formed in 1995 in Amiens, Picardy, France by four members : Stéphane Souteyrand (guitar & keyboards, Aborted), Laurent Harrouart (drums), Paul Banas (vocals & guitar) and Sébastien Caron (bass guitar). They directly started to play and compose their own kind of music which is a mixture between their influences and gave us a very personal Black/Heavy metal . The main thematics of the band are occultism, horror/fantastic and the band member's own philosophy.
One year later (1996), Yyrkoon decided to record the first demo tape in autoproduction : "Oath, Obscure, Occult...", it contains 5 songs of their personal metal. They added different sounds textures to their style like a female voice, violin and flute. This tape allowed the band to be welcome in the underground, to find date to play live with other bands and to trade demos with their french neighbourings.
