There are at least four bands that share the name Eibon.

1) Eibon is a French (Paris) doom/sludge act featuring Drowning's bass player Stephane and guitarist Georges on vocals, together with Jerome (drums), a former band mate of Stephane's from his days in legendary pioneering French doom-metal band Garden of Silence. Jerome was also a member of doom veterans Astral Rising. The line-up is completed by long-time friend Max on guitars.

In summer '06, Eibon recorded 2 tracks for a split-CD released on extreme metal label Bones Brigade Records. The other band sharing the bill was Hangman's Chair (former Es la Guerilla). The split-CD was released in March '07.

This first effort stated what Eibon were all about: somewhere between Sludge and Doom metal, the music is based on progressive structures, alternating pounding heavy riffs, melodic moments and hell-unleashed passages.

In early 2009, Eibon released their first MCD on UK's Aesthetic Death Records, and in 2010 they released the devastating full length "Entering Darkness" on CD. Later, the album was re-released as a cassette version combining both "Entering Darkness", and the 2009 self-titled EP on Media Tree Recordings in Canada.

2) Eibon is a black metal project formed by American and Norwegian extreme musicians from well known bands such as Pantera, Necrophagia, Darkthrone, Satyricon and Mayhem. They contributed one song - "Mirror Soul Jesus" to a compilation album by Moonfog Productions in 2000. Since then, the band have been working on and off on their debut album between the band members' busy schedules with their other bands. It is not clear whether any material except an untitled track posted on Moonfog's website will ever surface.

3) EIBON(SGP) is a black metal band from Singapore.

4) Eibon is a Hungarian black metal band formed in 1993. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
