In 1972 the band and their music where banned in the Soviet Union and labeled "bourgeois-national". As a result, all existing records and recordings were destroyed. After that the band went underground until 1974. The members then merged with ''Dzvony'' into the new vocal-instrumental ensemble ''Decorative Trails''. After the band was accepted to the ''Ukr-kontsert'' it changed its name to ''Hrono''. In 1977 the ensemble became known as ''Eney'' once again.
