Under the unusual name of Sri Lanka, a group of very young musicians from Santander teamed up with Oscar, another restless kid who, with the experience of having sung in the thrashers Mordor, decided to pursue that sharp, technical sound. Influenced by bands like the legendary Megadeth, Metallica, and Annihilator, they began composing what would become the demo «Samarcanda.»
The demo was self-released on cassette, as was often the case at that time (1995), and was also self-distributed.
After a handful of concerts with bands of all kinds, and after several lineup changes, they decided that Sri Lanka didn’t quite define the band and changed their name to Endemic. This occurred sometime in the late 1990s.
