A zenekar sz�let�se 1994-be, Mil�n�ba vezethet� vissza, a Sleep of Right nev� band�hoz, ahol a k�t bar�t: Marco Coti-Zelati �s Andrea Ferro j�tszott. Marco volt a git�ros �s Andrea a basszusgit�ros. Csatlakozott hozz�juk Raffaele Zagaria git�ros, �s Michelangelo dobos. Els� koncertj�k az olaszorsz�gi Bologna-ban volt 1994-ben. Felvett�k a Bleeding Souls c�m� dalt, ami 1995-ben l�tott napvil�got, a Noise of Bolgia v�logat�s CD-n. Marco k�s�bb �tt�r a basszusgit�rra, hogy Andrea az �nekre tudjon koncentr�lni. Claudio Leo lett a m�sodgit�ros, Leonardo Forti v�ltotta fel Michelangelo-t a dobok m�g�tt. A k�vetkez� d�nt�s�k egyszer s mindenkorra megv�ltoztatta j�v�beli zen�j�ket, ugyanis felh�vt�k egy k�zeli bar�tjukat, Cristina Scabbia-t, hogy �nekeljen nekik p�r n�t�ban. Innent�l kezdve egy�rtelm� volt, hogy Cristina -nak v�g�rv�nyesen a band�ban van helye. Cristina Scabbia bev�telekor a zenekar felvette az Ethereal nevet, �s 1996 m�jus�ban r�gz�tettek egy k�t sz�mos demo anyagot, amin a Shallow End �s a Frozen Feeling volt hallhat�. Ezt eljuttatva sz�mos eur�pai kiad�hoz, visszajelz�st kaptak a Nuclear Blast-t�l �s a Century Media-t�l. V�g�l az ut�bbival egyeztek meg. �gy, egy lemezszerz�d�ssel a zseb�kben, r� kellett d�bbenni�k, hogy ism�t nevet kell v�ltoztatniuk, mivel G�r�gorsz�gban m�r tal�lhat� egy Ethereal nev� banda. A jelenlegi fel�ll�s a Lacuna Coil n�v mellett d�nt�tt, mely kb. azt jelentheti magyarul hogy „�res k�rforg�s”. 1997-ben N�metorsz�gban, a Woodhouse St�di�ban elkezdenek k�sz�lni az els� �j n�t�k melyek m�r a Century Media gondoz�s�ban fognak megjelenni. A zenekar egy lerobbant lak�sban, a Spirit Club felett lakott a st�di�z�s alatt. Itt kezd�dtek az els� zenei n�zetelt�r�sek Raffaele, Leonardo �s a banda t�bbi tagja k�z�tt. Mindezek ellen�re r�gz�t�sre ker�lt 6 n�ta a Grip Inc git�ros, Waldemar Sorychta produceri seg�ts�g�vel. A d�nt�s �gy esett, hogy az EP-re nem ker�l fel a demon hallhat� k�t dal, mivel nem illett volna bele a akkori st�lusukba. Az EP megjelen�se el�tt a zenekar 1997 december�ben csatlakozott a portug�l goth - met�l band�hoz, a Moonspell–hez egy eur�pai prom�ci�s turn� erej�ig. Ez volt a zenekar els� sz�npadi tapasztalata. Sajnos l�mpal�z �s heves �rzelmek miatt Raffaele Zagaria, Claudio Leo �s Leonardo Forti a harmadik koncert ut�n elhagyt�k a zenekart. A turn� 12 �llom�sos volt. A banda b�tran folytatta a koncertez�st Anders Iwers Tiamat-git�ros, �s Markus, a Kreatoer zenekar dobos�nak seg�ts�g�vel. 1998 janu�rj�ban csatlakozik a zenekarhoz Cristiano Migliore, a Thy Nature zenekarb�l, majd Cristiano „Criz” Mozzatti, a Time Machine zenekarb�l. A v�rfriss�t�s �j lelkesed�ssel t�lt�tte meg a csapatot, ami igencsak r�juk f�rt a febru�ri EP megjelen�s �s a Lisszabonban megrendezett 4000-es hallgat�s�g� koncert el�tt. Ez volt az els� koncert ezzel a fel�ll�ssal, ami az EP-t volt hivatott n�pszer�s�teni. M�rciusban a zenekar elkezdi m�sodik eur�pai turn�j�t kar�ltve The Gathering �s a Siegmen zenekarokkal. Turn� k�zben a Node zenekar git�rosa veszi �t a staf�t�t, mivel az �jdons�lt tag, Cristiano Migliore megs�r�l �s nem tud j�tszani. Ek�zben a zenekart Alice Chiarelli billenty�s seg�ti ki, r�ad�sul a koncerteket m�g �lvezetesebb� teszi az, hogy Cristina Scabbia duetteket ad el� Anneke Van Giersbergennel, a The Gathering �nekesn�j�vel A Lacuna Coil �tesik els� fesztiv�los bulij�n 1998 augusztus�ban, amikor is fell�pnek a Wacken Open Air fesztiv�lon, majd a show ut�n r�szt vesznek az els� saj�t, hivatalos dedik�l�sukon. Hirtelen kezdenek felfigyelni erre a m�r nem is olyan kicsi olasz band�ra. 1998 okt�ber�ben a banda visszat�rt N�metorsz�gba a Woodhouse St�di�ba, majd ism�t Waldemar Sorychta seg�ts�g�vel felvett�k az els� teljes albumukat, melynek az In A Reverie c�met adt�k. A hangz�s durv�bbra siker�lt, mint a deb�t�l� EP-n �s jelent�sebb sikereket �rtek el N�metorsz�gban, valamint Skandin�via ter�let�n. Sajnos valami�rt haz�jukban kev�sb� ismert�k �ket, kiv�ve tal�n az underground vonulatot. 1999-ben v�gre v�gleges a zenekar, amikor a 22 �ves Marco „Maus” Biazzi csatlakozik a zenekarhoz, mint m�sodgit�ros. Febru�rban megtartott�k els� lemezbemutat� koncertj�ket Mil�n�ban. 1999 t�bbi r�sze turn�z�ssal telt kereszt�l-kasul Eur�p�n. J�nius 5-�n sz�l�haz�jukban, Olaszorsz�gban j�tszottak a Gods Of Metal rendezv�nyen a Metallica el�tt, �s t�bb mint 25000 n�z�nek adtak koncertet. Az �v v�g�n sajn�latos m�don le kellett mondani 3 koncertet, mert Marco Coti Zelati elt�rte egy bord�j�t, mik�zben egy f�nytechnikusnak seg�tett. Az �j �vezred kezdet�re a zenekar ism�t st�di�ba vonul, hogy elk�sz�tse �j kislemez�t a Halflife–ot. Ez �t sz�mot tartalmaz, melyek �j lehet�s�geket adnak, mivel el�sz�r �llt rendelkez�s�kre digit�lis m�don felvenni a sz�mokat, r�ad�sul tartalmaz egy �tdolgozott dalt is (Stars, a Dub Star nevezet� brit-pop zenekar egyik sz�ma). Ezen k�v�l hallhat� m�g rajta egy olasz nyelv� n�ta is, mely ide�lis a hazai rajong�knak. A zenei �sszhat�s is jobban kikerekedett, sokkal ink�bb �p�t a f�rfi-n�i �nek t�m�kra, mely k�s�bb egyedi st�lusukat hat�rozza meg. M�rcius 20-�n megjelenik a kislemez, melyet t�bb megh�v�s k�s�rt, mind�ssze egy baleset �rny�kolta el mindezt a j�t, mikor Andrea Ferro leesett a sz�npadr�l Dublinban �s elt�rte a v�ll�t. Ezt k�vet�en m�jusban �jabb probl�m�val kellett szemben�zni�k, amikor is Mil�n�ban 2500 ember el�tt r�vidre kellett fogniuk a koncertj�ket, l�v�n egy „apr�bb” technikai hiba l�pett fel. Elfeledkeztek ugyanis a minidiscr�l, ami a billenty�s�vokat, meg a k�l�nb�z� loop-okat tartalmazta. Ebb�l kifoly�lag gyorsabb �s kem�nyebb hangz�ssal pr�b�lt�k felejthetetlenn� tenni a bulit a k�z�ns�g sz�m�ra. Ez lehetett a kiindul�pontja a j�v�beli esem�nyeknek…
