Elusive Travel was formed in Rochester,NY in the summer of 1996.Founding member " Chris Dalcin/guitar/vocals" began working on material that would appear on both Watchmen Studio compliations 1 & 2 under his own name.After the fall of Windbreed featuring (Tim Yeung/HateEternal/Nile/Hank the 3rd on drums) Chris decided it was the right time to start on his own.After 4 years of compiling over 20 demo tracks ranging from all sorts of styles, death,doom,trance,darkwave,black metal & rock,it was time for the first offcial release "My Final Demise".
After relocating to Cincinnati,Ohio in 2000 & putting together a full band line-up the band would complete the album release it in 2001.With the band never really stopping the regional touring some of the better shows have been, Metalfest 15,Cleveland's Music Macabre 2000,World Series of Metal 2002 & Cincinnati Punk/Metalfest 2004.Some of the great acts we've have played with are Rain Fell Within,Thorns of the Carrion,Estuary,Macabre,Enslaved,Electric Wizard,Evoken,Avernus,Anathema,Brave,Bleed for Me,Fledgling Death,Keen of the Crow & 137.
In 2003 Chris released an EP called "You caved my Karma In" which included 3 songs featuring only 2 tracks of minimal vocals & clean guitar.Proving a handful of solo shows proved to the metal community that ET would break the barriers of what a metal band should be.With more touring running through 2003-2005 Elusive managed to reach NY,Wis,Ill,IN,KY,OH & VA.
The Spring of 2005 ET released a split 7 inch with Rochester doomsters 137 Separation/In Vain would be a limited run of 300 records, withing a short time sold out! But still avail through some online distros.Elusive Travel entered Watchmen Studio's Sept of 04' for the recording of third release/second full-length "Breathe Before You Die" which will end up featuring Rick McCoy (Avernus),Dawn Desiree(Rain Fell Within), & Alex Neidt.The 8 songs selected for the cd will surely widen the fanbase of anyone who claims Doom,death,darkwave,indie,ambient to be something of their desire.Down tuning in A combined with huge sludgy dirge, doublebass mayhem,screaming to the depths of solitude and haunting clean etheral vocals bring a healthy mix of dark brooding tones which paint a bleak picture of darkness.
With the remaining of 2006, Elusive Travel will commense a mini tour of the NorthEast with Indy Doomsters Apostile of Solitude in MID OCT.With more and more ideas coming to Chris's mind the band decided to take much more time on the completion of the album,making sure nothing was left unturned, so to ease the demand of a new Elusive release the band decided to release a 10th anniversary complation of 8 tracks containing a deep mixture of the bands first song ever recorded in 1996 to a rough mix of the newest track that would on the upcoming new cd "Breathe Before You Die". This compilation would be titled "I Emptied The Sea".
With the addition of the new line-up Chuck Brown on drums and Chainsaw on bass this line-up is actively rehearsing for a number of Winter/Spring shows and making plans again to go out again ON TOUR in OCT with Apostle of Solitude this time instead 5 shows mine tour we are looking to complete 10 days.Elusive will have new Merchandise for "I Emptied The Sea" for the few upcoming shows this Spring including a awesome new T Shirt design. Stay tuned for more updates Elusive will and always carries on* ps thanx to all of our fans and friends who keep us alive!
these are our new shirts 8$ a piece!
SHOW REVIEWS
Nov 2000 our second show ever Cleveland,Ohio w/Avernus,Thorns of the Carrion,The Vladimirs,Estuary,Somnus,Novembers Doom,and Rain Fell Within
Having no prior expections of New York's Elusive Travel, I was eager to delve into a new act. They started off the set with a song juggling well, clean vocals, thrashy chunky rythmic break downs and original song structures. The bass player sang a few growley words here and there and the songs ended after a climactic and emotional resolution on occasion. Sometimes the songs would all of a sudden break into a fast blast beat black metal partto lead us into a slower and more hypnotic part. Between two of the songs the singer announced that he was looking for a new drummer and bass player, and that the current bass player and drummer were mere stand-ins. This was pretty impressive considered they hammered through 4 or 5 lengthy songs with authenticity and vigor. All-in-all I was impressed by the unique and unexpected song layouts, the diversity in style and lastly the talent emanating from this three piece after pounding through a set they werent even accustomed to performing together.

First of all, hails to Cincinnati for having 3 cool bands and only 1 bad one! Elusive Travel were first band to play that evening and impressed me quite a bit. Fast and furious at times, and very calm and laid back at others, it is very difficult to categorize their music. For my part, I definitely heard some Gothic and Black influences, but their ways are not limited to these two styles. I also picked up their 2-song promo tape, which is not bad at all, so keep an eye on them! Oh yeah, here comes the comparison part: old Burzum, Bethlehem and old and new Katatonia, how about that?!
Record reviews
Elusive Travel's identity is moody. Aggression as well as slight sadness and contemplation are all expressed at different points in the song. In terms of genres they would probably be called doomcore/crust, although it is quite hard to label them in any exact way. They are avantgarde in some way, but it's difficult to point out excactly where. The band has apparently made some doomy songs before.
