Slytract was established in 2005 May, after Gábor B. Melegh’s previous band disbanded. Months later Tamás Galántay joined the band as the new drummer, and due to it, the activity of SLYTRACT increased, as Gábor has imagined before. The first shows were played in 2005 October. The first major step was taken in 2006 March, when SLYTRACT recorded the first demo with seven songs. Reviews were released by the local media, but the demo was immature, so the articles were not too stirring. In the summer of 2006 Gábor broke his leg, and this brake-period caused a line-up change in the band. A new bass player arrived (Viktor Jakab), from this point the band stepped from a hobby band status to a professional. In the meantime, Gábor and Tamás spent a lot of hours and days in the rehearsal room, and the result was an overall style transformation. The music became faster, more aggressive, and technical features appeared in this thrash/death metal beast. The next EP (009) was recorded in 2007 April with three new songs, better sound, better studio, which resulted a better production. The reviews about this EP were much more positive, than the previous one. It looked that SLYTRACT took some serious step ahead. The time has come to send press-kits with the 009 EP to record-labels. More than 30 companies and labels got the kit, and the Austrian NoiseHead Records took an offer to the band, and after a month the NoiseHead – SLYTRACT contract was signed. After signing the contract Viktor couldn’t continue his work in SLYTRACT due to his family life, so the new bass-player became Ákos Tuza. In 2008 February SLYTRACT recorded the debut album titled Explanation: Unknown in Vienna. There are 9 tracks on the record, the producer was Mario Jezik. The album was released in 2008 April, and the Release Party was held in Vienna’s Viper Room, with Graveworm's headlining status. The album has marketed in Europe by NoiseHead and underground distros, and in US by Relapse Records. From 2009 April, Gyula Czeglédi as session guitarist supported SLYTRACT in live. Explanation:Unknown earned positive reviews in the worldwide metal-media, and the album won the 1st place in the „Newcomer Of The Year” category on the IV. Hungarian Metal Awards. (http://www.hang-suly.hu/HMA2008_nyertesek.php). The first video was produced by SLYTRACT, and shot by Midgard Media in 2008 May, based on the track „Answer”. In the rest of 2008 SLYTRACT did a tour called „Spreading The Explanation” to promote the album all over Hungary and nearby countries, and during the tour the band teamed up with Powerground Management. Ákos left the band in February 2009 due to personal and musical problems, after that Viktor stepped back again as a session bass player. In 2009 SLYTRACT focused on further promotion of "Explanation: Unknown", played live as much as possible, and in the meantime the band also handled the writing and pre-producing process of the forthcoming material. It was a very hard-working, and successful year. In March, the second part of "Spreading The Explanation "tour fulfilled, SLYTRACT shared stage with bands like Hypocrisy, DevilDriver, God Forbid as a warm up act. During the tours a new bass player arrived, Szabolcs Zsengellér, and due to it, the line-up is strong and fixed again. The recording session for the new album was finished in 2010 December. The new songs are faster, more technical and melodic as well, get ready for some serious shit!
