Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Eclypsis was first formed in early january of 2005 by Guillaume Leduc-Lévesque and Anne Gauvin-Meunier, both wanting to form a group. After an exhaustive search for other musicians, Guillaume recruited Sam Lemieux-Cadieux from his other band. The trio became a quintet at the end of june with the addition of the bassist Mia Zbikowski and guitarist Nader Zeid. From thereon the band officially began in july 2005.
