The band was founded in 1993 by Zoltan Farkas, who is the only musician from the original line-up and the leader of Ektomorf. In love with Sepultura, Soulfly and hardcore music, he decided to create a band that would play a mixture of these styles. Fortunately, he was able to find musicians in his hometown. Zoltan's persistence paid off. In 2004 the band managed to sign a contract with the massive metal label Nuclear Blast, followed by another renowned publisher, the German AFM Records. This period saw the release of highly acclaimed Ektomorph albums, such as *Destroy*, *Outcast*, *Redemption*, and *Retribution*. Since 2019, Zoltan is supported by Simon Szebasztián (guitar), Csaba Zahorán (bass guitar) and Kálmán Oláh (drums). This lineup recorded the album *Reborn*, released in 2020.
