EXISTANCEwas founded in 2008 by Julian Izard (lead vocals & guitars) and Tom Drouin (bass), who shared a common goal of keeping the musical spirit of the80′s Heavy Metalalive. If the last name Izard sounds familiar to the historians among you!well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ' like father like son, Julian Izard is the son of Didier Izard, who was the vocalist with French speed metal band,H'Bomb, which regardless of featuring French language lyrics, and in spite of only being active from 1983'86, left a serious footprint on the European Heavy Metal scene of the 80s. Officially only releasing one EP, "Coup De Métal" and one album "Attaque", the numerous bootleg albums available today bear testimony to their status and influence on a next generation of bands, including Izard junior'sEXISTANCE.

By 2009 theEXISTANCEline'up completed, the band started out rehearsing and playing covers of such Hard Rock anthems like "Dallas 1 PM" (Saxon) and "Cold Sweat" (Thin Lizzy), refining their chops and become a lean and mean hard rocking machine. Not long after they began to write their own songs.

In 2010EXISTANCEreleased the obligatory demo. Four tracks were recorded, which enabled them to play a substantial amount of concerts across France with forays into Belgium and the Netherlands. They were also invited to perform at numerous festivals such as: theParis Metal France Festival IV(PMFF IV), theIsaria Festival,Vouziers Festival(#21), twice at theZicophonies Festival(#15 and #16),Long Live Metal Festival(edition #5),Rock 'N' Metal Convention(#14).

In 2011, the band returned to the studio and produced another eight tracks. The German labelHigh Roller Recordsreleased the 2nd set of recordings in April 2012, both on compact disc and vinyl, distributed worldwide via Soulfood. Thanks to the release being well received by the international media,EXISTANCEcould now count on a truly international fan base.
