Petr, Pařát Productions (Czech Republic): “Between 1989-2024, R.E.T. was a band consisting of members mostly from Třinec, the second easternmost town in the Czech Republic, and its surroundings, close to the borders with Poland and Slovakia.

That is, from the Moravian-Silesian region, where a strong doom-metal base established itself in the mid-1990s, led by bands such as Dissolving Of Prodigy, Hypnotic Scenery or Silent Stream Of Godless Elegy. Although this period lasted only a few years, spontaneously emerged and just as spontaneously dissolved, it made an indelible mark in the history of the Czech (doom) metal scene.

The recording »Depression«, with which R.E.T. first entered the chronicles of Czech doom metal and hard music in general in 1995 as their debut CD, was first released as a cassette demo without any ambitions. It was recorded already in 1993. No one expected where and how quickly things would move forward.
