Biography
Baskíria was born in 1999 in Hungary by two former members of a grind core band, called Crucifixation.

They made their demo by SP studio in the Summer of 2000. This demo was Az õsök bosszúja (Revenge of the Ancestors).
Károly had quit after a short time. László Kuti was found by an advertisement. Károly was followed by Zoltán and Gábor, who joined to Sundone. Baskíria had broken up, but the steadfastness of purpose gave Nikosz Margaritisz (drums) and Ádám Németh (bassguitar).
Baskíria was reborn in 2001.
In the fall of 2002 they went to studio and they recorded A megtorlás kezdete (The beginning of retribution).
On 21. May 2004 the life of the group was broken again. László Kuti, Nikosz Margaritisz and Ádám Németh had established their new death metal band, they turned their backs on Baskíria.
After more then one year the group was re-established in the August of 2005. Members are: András Maracskó, Balázs Szánóczky, Péter Rajna. Tamás Holló and Péter Gazdag helped the band in guitars. Finally Ádám Horváth joined to the band.
In the spring of 2006 Ferenc Apró replaced Tamás Holló, then Gergely Szabó replaced Ádám Horváth.
In the April of 2007 Balázs Szánóczky has left the band and replaced by Zsombor Cserny. End of August Ferenc Apró went abroad but we had a temporarily substitute: Péter Spányik.
In 2008 everybody left - or was asked to leave -, except the singer, so here is the new lineup:
Péter Rajna - vocals
Péter Dudás - guitar
