The death metal band WAYD was founded in the year 1994 when thrash metal band MARION and death metal band DYSENTERY fused together. Both of them were just small bands known only in the regional underground scene as conventional metal bands. However, the very first beginnings of WAYD are connected with the effort to break the borders between the styles, as well as the effort to create more experimental and musically richer compositions. To combine different atmospheres and feelings into miscellaneous compositions have been their most important aim from the beginning, but despite the fact they have never forgotten to put stress also on energy characteristic for their music. The final product should be compositions in which everybody could find something interesting for himself.. WAYD was set up by Milan Savko (vocals and guitars), Braňo Kóša (drums), Richard Mayer (guitars) and Drahoš Juřík (bass guitar and vocals). Even though these four members stayed faithful to "Wayd”, some small changes occured in the line-up. In 1995 WAYD recorded a demo tape named "Shape of Your Mind” in Prešov in the AD micro Studio. This demo contains 10 songs that are an example of the creation from the beginnings of the group. Two years later a new material named "The Ultimate Passion” was recorded in the Exponent Studio and released by Metal Age Production
