Everlost was formed in April 2001 by two guitarists - Andrey Smirnov and Pavel Chernobay. After rehearsing together for a long period they've decided to find musicians on vacant places, because songs for a promo record were almost finished. Soon, vocalist Dmitry Antonov and bassist Sergey Volkov (who was already author of all the lyrics) joined the band. Band's first promo CD Suicidal Instincts was recorded with this line-up. Regarding all advantages and disadvantages of the record, it was welcomed by the fans and the critics.
