The origins of this Spanish band date from 1979 when these 5 musicians from the towns of Tarragona and Reus in the Spanish region of Catalunya joined to form a band, which they initially called Companyia Oliva Negra and later on renamed themselves as Metamorfosis.The main composer of the band was keyboardist Jaume Montcusi, who was joined by Luis Garcia (guitars), Joan Ramos (guitars and percussion), Jordi Papaseit (bass) and Joan M. Grimau (drums and percussion).Metamorfosis released only one album, in 1982, called Papallones i Elefants (catalan language for Butterflies and Elephants), completely instrumental. The music is a hybrid consisting mostly of jazz-rock / fusion but also quite some symphonic prog, all the musicianship is highly competent with special mention to the excellent keyboard work of Jaume Montcusi, and will surely appeal to fans of both fusion and symphonic. Metamorfosis disbanded around 1985 without releasing any other album.
