PREFACE
This
formation is a result of the fusion between the common musical
passions and ambitions of four professional artists, dedicated
to music and active in the heavy, death, black metal scene since
the beginning of the 90’s.
The
band is intended to represent a crowning achievement of the
respective member’s past artistic activities and a powerful
union of different styles and fascinations diverging from the
stiff frames of existing metal styles. The creation of this
act fulfils a long-awaited prospect for unlimited artistic development
and form of expression. This progression is still to rest upon
the fundaments of all music related to heavy, death and black
metal.
BIOGRAPHY
In the Fall of 2005, Chicago musicians Adrian Adamus (FOREST
OF IMPALED, CORPHAGY) and Varyen (DAMNATION, FOREST OF IMPALED)
began working on the foundation of a new genuine full-time band.
While
wanting to achieve diversity in sound and uniting different
styles, the musicians determined to preserve the primordial
aggression and extremity, as well as the mysticism and romanticism,
which has always been an intrinsic part of the music they created.
After
a few months of compositional work they accomplished four complete
songs, closing by that the instrumental part of the first stage.
In
order to enrich the compositions and endow them with a spiritual
and magical dimension, Varyen and Adrian contacted a versatile
keyboard player, Martin Widel (LOSS OF REVERENCE), who quickly
found himself in the formation’s dark and exposing, yet
optimistic and empowering style, gracing the music in just that
desirable way.
Shortly
after that, the band invited composer, guitarist and producer
Wojtek Lisicki, known in the metal scene as a vital force behind
bands like LOST HORIZON and LUCIFERION, to cooperate in the
project. The aim of involving him in the formation was to strengthen
it with his unique style of executing, producing and creating
music.
After
acquainting himself with the musicians’ arrangements and
original ideas related to the formation, Wojtek reacted in a
very euphoric way to the whole concept, underlining the diversity,
open-mindedness, creativity close to his own and seriousness
of the enterprise. Ultimately, this resulted in the definitive
decision to engage a permanent participation in the rising band
as a lead guitarist and supporting vocalist.
His
addition, greatly contributed to the development of the visage
and sound of the band, as well as in the creative proces of
writing lyrics and vocal arrangements.
Through
an intensive search for a suitable vocalist, who would consolidate
the band, the musicians engaged the collaboration with the ambitious
and creative vocalist Logan Perez. His mystical and charismatic
voice aided in revealing the dramaturgy and magic of the compositions.
After assembling the full line-up, the band collectively engaged
in meticulous work and eventually established a final,
definite form to the four songs previously written.
At
the present moment, total focus is concentrated on creating
and perfecting the remaining material for the debut album.
The
demonstrational songs, available in the "Music" section
on this site, appropriately signify the band's potential, exposing
great passion and commitment to music and the exploration of
life's mysteries...
