History

The band was founded in 2003 by Hervé Ferouche (drums) and Steve Dupont (keyboards). They both played together in another band called Spirittales. After the split of Spirritales they quickly found Cédric Vielvoye (bass) and JC Marchal (guitars). After trying a couple of singers, the band came to the conclusion that JC should give it a try as vocalist. It was then required to look after a second guitarist. So, Philippe Dumont (solo guitar) entered the band at the end of May. A first series of tracks was then put together.

Philippe Dumont left the band in February 2004. It took a few months to find a perfect fit for the open solo guitar position. Philippe Laurent joined us to complete the line-up. After a few weeks of rehearsals we started recording our first demo. 'The Screaming Wolves' (home made demo) was finally available in December 2004. It features three songs we selected among the 6 tracks we put on tape. With this demo completed we started looking for concerts.

Thanks to our first demo we quickly started "gigging" in 2005 and could book around 25 dates during the year. In May we welcomed Nicolas Guilitte at the drums. After a few months of rehearsals and concerts it was about time to enter the studio for a first release. We selected the Dé Studio in Asse to perform the recording and the mixing. We spent 7 intense days and ended with a 7 tracks CD - 'The Ultimate Nothing' - offering 40 minutes of Before Silence.
