In the News (Fri 17 Feb 12)

  
  Army ant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The most predominant species of Eciton is Eciton burchelli, whose common name is army ant and which is considered to be the archetypal species.
Eciton burchelli and Eciton hamatum are the most visible and best studied of the New World army ants because they forage above ground and during the day.
Eciton army ants have a bi-phasic lifestyle where they alternate between a nomadic phase and a stationary stage.

 New World Army Ants -genus accounts Eciton
While some of the species will actively raid and forage under a variety of conditions, most other species appear to restrict their activity to periods of darkness or under heavy cover and are rarely encountered in the open.
The species of Eciton as currently recognized are reasonably easy to identify, although ease of identification is dependent to some extent on having majors available, as the smaller workers in many cases do bear a great deal of resemblance to each other.
The reason for this is that the genitalia of Eciton males are remarkably uniform and show few useful characters or variation, while the mandibles for each species are very distinctive.

 The Metal Crypt - Reviews
Eciton may have a weird name, but for a debut album "Oppressed" is one Hell of an impressive onslaught of some killer old-school Death Metal.
Hearkening back to the riff-intensive style of Death or a less-frenetic Deicide, Eciton's only nod to a modern sound is the odd melodic flourish they throw into the mix, but otherwise this sounds like a 1990 album with a modern production.
Like other old-stylers such as Unholy Ghost and Poland's Mutilation, Eciton ride no trends at all, they just play Death Metal the fast, brutal, ugly way it should be played.

This is due, in part, to their limited vision: workers of the twelve Eciton species have compound eyes that are reduced to a single facet.
The source of Eciton trail pheromone is also poorly understood, though it is presumed that the pheromones originate from the hindgut and that these army ants lay trail by dragging the tip of their gaster on the substrate surface.
The Eciton’s bi-nodal waist, connecting the mesosoma to the gaster, is an adaptation promoting body flexibility and thus facilitating trail pheromone distribution.

This nod towards the american brutal death metal (you can add Incantation, Suffocation or Immolation as references) continues on and off throughout all the songs of «Oppressed» which is no bad thing especially when played with both the song-writing and musicianship qualities display on here.
Eciton are doing all things correctly, without being that sensational.
All the songs are in the same vein (so if you like one, you will like all).

We do not know anything about the life history of this unusual species, which is known only from a single female specimen.
The wingless females are found in the raids of the ant Eciton burchelli, but although they have a piercing, parasitic-type ovipositor, their hosts are unknown.
This species, known from a single female, was collected with a column of the army ant Eciton hamatum at La Selva.

Eciton is the winner of a Danish Death Metal contest but they are above all the last signature of the French label Adipocere Records.
This first album of Eciton is a bit average.
I’m sure that the fans of the music will like it however because that’s not so bad but let’s hope that the band will do something a bit more original in the future and let’s hope that they will have some better means of production too.

Indespair also decided to change their name to Eciton after the line-up change.
However, Eciton's Oppressed is rather indifferent recording, and thus doesn't impress me. At times there are some good riffs, but on the whole this album isn't that spectacular.
In case you don't care too much about diversity, and are searching for a powerful, brutal in-your-face death metal album, you might get a kick out of Eciton's Oppressed.

 The truth about birds and ants
Hillman studied five different bird species that find prey by following the shocking and awe-inspiring march of Eciton Burchelli, a prominent species of army ants.
Labidus Praedator, a smaller species of army ant that lives primarily underground and only forages within two to three meter patches, was found to be much more important to the birds than Hillman had originally thought.
Each bird species needs a home area large enough to encompass multiple Eciton colonies because the ants stop tearing up the underbrush when their queen’s 300,000 odd eggs are hatching.

Despite the fact that the promotional literature called Eciton melodic death metal, one would be hard pressed to find much melody here.
Eciton play straight up brutal, thrashing, technical death metal.
Most death metal pretty much sounds the same to me, so I can’t speak for originality, but these guys are very good at what they do.

Odonata - !http://www.listbot.com/cgi-bin/subscriber I know of one related incident told to me by a friend who happens to be an authority on the subject of army ants.
Many years ago on a well-known island/research station in Central America, a prominent myrmecologist collected the queen from a colony of the army ant species Eciton lucanoides.
Unfortunately this was done after the production of a worker brood not a sexual brood, and since the collecting event E. lucanoides, a little-known variation from the infamous insect E. burchelli, has not been seen on the island.

Denmark is showing it’s dark side again through Eciton, a deathmetal band formed in 2000.
To solve this problem Jesper Bøeck also started to play bass guitar besides the vocals and with Jesper Frost (drums) and Thomas Berg (guitar) Eciton was completed again in early 2004.
This album was recorded back in 2003, but due to the problems mentioned before, the album just came out this year.
