About us
We are a new and creative Dutch band. We create many original songs in many different genres. Our styles include trance, techno,
rock, metal, ambient and classical music. But music isn't the only thing we make. We also make artwork (mainly for our songs and
albums), games and videos. Our main themes are creativity and fantasy. We try to make our songs, images, games and videos as
original as possible. We make most of our content on the computer with various programs but we also play real instruments. As a
band we play mostly metal.
Update!
In 2011 our site will be greatly improved so there will be more possibilities. We will create our own mp3 player which will look
better and will be faster. We will upload more games and videos so there will be more diversity and you will be able to request
and download sheet music for our songs.
In the future, a lot of changes will be made, also to the band. The band was founded by Wouter Florijn and Joël Jansen about
a year ago. It started off just for fun, but we started to like it more and more and it became a serious hobby. Now that we spend
more time on it than ever, we can't help but think about the future.
Our first two albums were purely try-outs, even though they had a couple of good songs such as: "Tears of Death", "Golden Key",
"Natural Bloom" and "Sleeping Machines".
After that, we were worked on three albums. Two of them are already finished ("The Twilight Project" and "The Secrets of Bifrost"
and we are working on the latest one ("Restless Fantasy"). In these albums, we worked with themes for each one. Some songs
were well received, including "Dream in Nifel", about a vision of the beginning of earth according to Norse mythology.
Now we have opportunities to record songs. We have been practicing in the studio for a few weeks and we are currently looking for
the right people. The next months we won't upload that much because we will spend time on perfecting a new album we will make. We
will upload some demos, but not the finished songs. In this new album we want to make more songs of the genres we really like
ourselves. We will try to combine several characteristics of metal music and the music will be influenced by mythological (mainly
Norse/Germanic) themes and fantasy. The vocals will be more melodic and without grunting (like powermetal). Still, it will be
difficult to say what our style really is, but this has characterized us from the very beginning.
