The band called Ilbeltz was borned in Donostia (San Sebastian, in the Basque Country) around 1995/96, when two friends went to smoke a cigarrette lying in the field, instead of going to class, in a sunny morning. By the time they returned to class, the band was formed of four members, the name came later on.
We began playing concerts as soon as we had got enough songs, even though we were hardly able to tune our instruments (we haven't changed much in that). We used to rehearse and play concerts wherever was possible, until around 1998/99, when the band suffered a change according to the members. We recorded two songs for the album ILUNTASUNAREN ITZULERA (Triarchy of Vasconia) in 1999, with other two bands, Adhur and Aiumeen Basoa. After that until 2010, we haven't played any concerts, or recorded any albums, even though we've always been conposing songs. In 2010 we've recorded the album called AUSKAN GABILTZ OLATUN GAINIAN (We're strugling on the waves), with 5 new songs.
