Biography:
In the very first year, only after 2 shows, at Zum-Zum & Hard Club, Rui Filipe (guitar) was replaced by Veggy, that has brought an injection of "weight" to the band's sound.

With this formation, the band continued to explore metal and has began to incorporate more progressive and innovating sounds.
The result has payed off and the band played alongside bands such as W.A.K.O., Seven Stitches, The End Gate, Hatetrigger, Voidshape and Colombia.

With the help of some friends, EQUALEFT recorded their first videoclip, from the song "Sober" during a performance in April of 2006 at Hard Club.

After having spend 3 years in the band, Super (drums) abandoned to dedicate exclusively to his other band: Colombia.

For personal reasons, Piranha (bass) left the band in September, 2006.
In November, 2006, André (member of July 13) joins EQUALEFT as the new bass player.

Snyper was supporting the band right from the start and has, eventually, become a member.
Photography and Web are a big part of his life and work.
During live performances, he is the person that stays closer to the front to take care of the media (video projections, photography and filming.).

In the first days of 2007, Maglor announced his departure. The fills his space with Licínio.
They spend 4 months rehearsing old and new songs.
Still during the year of 2007, in early April, Maglor returns to the band...
Also in 2007, the original Bass player, Piranha, re-joins as a guest to help them in concerts until they find a new bassist, and eventually he ends up recording the basslines in the first demo.
In the latest months of 2008, enters new bassist XNE (Assassinner; Ex-Crackdown & Strain).

With this line-up EQUALEFT releases their first demo "as the irony preVails...". It brings them some great reviews and opens new doors. LOUD! (the best known Metal magazine in Portugal) gives them an 8.6/10 as score for the demo.

This year they played in some of the most known Metal Festivals in Portugal. They won the "Arena Metal" contest, and played live on the SWR Barroselas festival.
To create new songs for the up-coming EP, and play live as much as they can... is their top priority.
