The beginning
of the band fall upon the period of time around the year 1991 - when Onecque
together with Stasho decided to form a metal band. They brought it into
successful end not sooner than at the beginning of 1994. The line-up changed
to this period several times, so that the band consisted of the following
members: Alky - drums, Onecque, Warmo - guitars, Martin - bass, vocals.
The band was fascinated by death metal from the beginning and tried to
create their first compositions.
The first concert of Sanatorium took place in may, 1994, in hometown and
this show was followed by further gigs in another Slovak cities. A time
had come for the recording of first demo tape and this happened in march,
1995. The demo got a name Subculture and contained 7 songs
in length of 23 minutes. Sanatorium prepared new material in few month.
This time they decided to enter one of the most high quality studios in
Slovakia - The Pro Art Studio.
At the beginning of october, 1996, 6 new compositions in length of about
20 minutes were recorded. The release of this was seized by a new arisen
firm Erebos Productions and the material is available in december of 1996
under the name Autumn Shadows. Autumn Shadows
is also released on vinyl in may 1997, under the heading of labels Erebos
Productions and View Beyond Records. Unbelievably good reactions helped
to very good sale as some 3500 cassetes were sold worldwide plus the complete
load of 7EPs.
The huge number of gigs, festivals together with famous bands is accompanied
with the release of new material under the name Necrologue.
It contains 4 new issues and one bonus track - re-recorded song from Subculture
demo plus one previously unreleased track. The tape is released again
