Comity has been making noise ever since 1996, with a line up that evolved through out the years, along with their music. After a demo recorded in 1998, on which the metal hard core influences blends in with a powerfull NYHC style, the band finally settles with a stable line up made of matthew / françois on guitars, guillaumeC on bass, guillaume B on drums and Thomas on vocals. Full of new material, the bands records in the year 2001 a split album « The catharsis synthax project » with the parisian band XII, which becomes the first true recording made of the band ever since they formed. The chaotic structures and the oppresive atmosphere rooted in this album, were to be the basis of the band's music and artistic approach to what was to be there own vision of music. Unfortunately, at this turning point, one of the guitarist matthew must withdrawal for the band and let yann ( formely after life ) fill in the gap. This gives the band a chance to get use to this new line up through touring gigs across the country. This unusual approach arouses about every bit of curiosity from the press and public that encounters the band and its music. The complex and technical structures collide with an athmospheric and oppresive feeling of frustration. This is how Comity keeps pushing the limits, to an extent where its music becomes an unorthodox but innovative downward spiral to self inflicting emotional chaos. By this time, the band sets up to record some new material for an upcoming realease. This shall be a 5 acts concept album : « The Deus Ex-Machina As A Forgotten Genius » In the meantime, Guillaume C decides to take on his own and leaves the bass duties to Alex ( formely Concept of Elation ). Recorded in august 2002, the album is realeased in march 2003, and gets a warm welcome for the french and international press. Setting a european tour for september 2003, the band is scheduled for an excessive french tour til the end of 2003...and until their next release...
