Eths is a French metal band hailing from Marseille, which was formed in 1999. Known for its fusion of different metal genres, including groove metal, alternative metal, and even elements of nu-metal, Eths carved a niche in the French heavy music scene with their brutally heavy riffs, complex rhythms, and the visceral, often guttural, vocals. Central to their sound and image was former lead vocalist Candice Clot, whose fierce screaming and passionate performances became a defining feature of the band. Their lyrics are typically performed in French, which adds an additional layer of uniqueness to their music within the predominantly English-speaking metal community.

Over the years, Eths released several albums that contributed to their notoriety in the French metal scene. Their first full-length album, "Soma," was released in 2004 and followed by the aggressive "Teratologie" in 2007. They achieved further success with the album "III," released in two versions in 2012, which showcased a matured sound and more intricate composition that expanded their fanbase. After a lineup change that saw the departure of Candice Clot and the introduction of new vocalist Rachel Aspe, Eths released "Ankaa" in 2016, an album that continued to explore the band's thematic and sonic intensity. Despite these changes in dynamics and personnel, Eths remained a force on the French metal scene until their announced hiatus in 2016. Their legacy is encapsulated in "The Best of Eths," a collection that serves as a testament to their potent contribution to the genre.
