THE BIRTH

The history of Entreat. begins back in mid-1997 when Valter decided to form a new band, because he was disappointed from the musical and philosophic directions his old band was going. Together with Miloš, Patrik and Luka decided to form a band later known as Entreat. Patrik on vocals, Milos on guitar, Valter on bass guitar and Luka on drums began rehearsing and later in the end of 1997 Matjaz came and took the role of the second guitarist. By that time the band was influenced a lot by Swedish hardcore bands and they began to write songs in a similar way.
In the beginning of 1998 Luka decided to quit and a young guy called Rok replaced him behind the drum kit. In April of the same year the band began with their live performances. With their combination of classic hardcore and metal riffs and powerful live appearances were something new for the whole Slovenian HC/Punk scene.

CHILDHOOD

The first demo tape was recorded in autumn of the 1999 just before they went on tour all around Europe together with the local band Man In The Shadow. The demo was soon sold out and soon followed by The City Of compilation that included four Entreat.'s songs. Meanwhile the band kept many live shows. Choose Life records decided to put out a 7" with two songs in spring of the 2000 but it was released with a half year delay due to the pressing problems.
By that time Entreat. made some new songs and decided to record their first album. They entered the studio in December 2000 and Shaded was born. It was again released by Choose Life records in February of the next year. The release of the CD was followed with the tour around Europe together with the band Low Punch.

PUBERTY

After many live appearances and a short tour in May of the 2002 the band clashed with first real troubles. Rok decided to leave the band and soon after him also Valter announced his departure. The loss was inevitable and the remained three members were forced to choose one of the alternatives: to close forever the chapter of Entreat. or to find the suitable replacements. Fortunately the band chosen the first chance they found a new bass player, Peter. The search for a new drummer took almost six months but finally they did it. The role of a drummer was taken by a young guy, Samo.

MATURITY

The band is currently working on new material to record a new album next year and preparing to be ready for live appearances with the new line up.
Please be patient because the best has yet to arrive.
