metallustband

MetallusT were formed in 1998 by Péter Balogh (vocals), György Révész (guitar), László 'Golyó' Varga (guitar) and Gábor Simon (drums).Pretty soon they had an hour-long set of Metallica cover versions down, and a month later they played live for the first time.
Bass guitarist Miklós Hortobágyi joined a few months later, and by 1999 the group were a popular feature on the Pécs scene.
The first-ever MetallusT recording was a 6-track demo called Lust For Power, recorded in 2000 with Péter Révész on bass.
Band members came and went in the meantime, until the the current line-up finally came together in 2002 with the arrival of drummer Balázs Szende and guitarist Ferenc Cselényi.
To begin with the group also included songs by Pantera and MegadetH in their live repertoire, but these were duly dropped, and MetallusT became Pécs' own MetallicA tribute band.
The decision proved a popular one, with the band members and their audience preferring the new direction.
