Departure and formation. This story goes back to September 2001, when Sígli decided to leave his current band, Tűzmadár. An idea came to his mind of a band, which is tough enough to grind to, but there might even be some keyboards in it, to support the beautiful female vocals.. His brother Eddie, the Tűzmadár's drummer liked his idea so much, that he quit the old band too join the forming group, which, at that time, consisted of: Paréj Zsuzsi - vocal, Kovács Marci - guitar, Siegl András - bass, Siegl Zoltán - drums. The first tryout was in May 2002 where the second guitarist was Pihokker Peti from "Tűzmadár". This cooperation was so productive, that Pihe is now a stalwart of the group. As a matter of fact, that tryout is now considered to be the formation of the band, and this is where the name ALHANA was born. (This name might be familiar to anyone who read the Dragonlance chronicles.)
