BIOGRAPHY 2003
It all started in 2001…
Domingo, who played the guitar in bands such as Agathocles, Renaissance and played keyboards in Ancient Rites, was thinking of starting a solo project in order to give attention to his creative musical ideas. This previous band had already given him a small amount of experience. He played with the band Agathocles, a Belgian grind-core band and did some gigs with bands such as Blood, Samaël, etc… No gigs were planned by Renaissance due to the fact that they had only recorded and released a few songs. One song was released as a split-single with Ancient Rites. Domingo did two European tours together with Ancient Rites alongside bands such as Deicide, Rotting Christ, Behemoth, Aeturnus, Six feet under, etc… and went to Israel once to do a gig with Salem.
In September of 2001 he decided to leave the idea of a solo project behind him and began to look out for other musicians.
Searching for a guitar player, he found Kristof, ex-bass player of Axamenta, a Belgian dark-metal band, Kristof had done some gigs with his previous band Aegremonia, a black-metal band and once they played together with After Forever. They rehearsed together a few times and experimented with music and voices and discovered that Kristof’s grunt was the voice they were looking for. Afterwards Kristof decided to only do the vocals and bass and to not play the guitar on stage. A few songs were created.
In March of 2002 Caroline, a female vocalist, came knocking on the door. After the audition it was obvious that she fitted in the band because of her perfect match. No lyrics had been written so far, therefore Caroline proposed to write down her passions and emotions and use them in their music.
After rehearsing for several months, Gracefallen started recording its first MCD in the studio, including 4 songs and an intro. Seeing as we had not yet found a drummer at this time, namely November of 2003, we searched for a guest musician to drum on our MCD. This was however not necessary, after having met Frederik just in time. Frederik had just left Axamenta when we ran into him. He decided to join the group in October of 2003, when the music of Gracefallen convinced him that he fitted with the band. Frederik had gained a lot of experience by playing in Axamenta and alongside bands such as After Forever, Grief of Emerald, Danse Macabre, etc…
In the mean time we are now February of 2003, our MCD is ready for sale and we are actively searching for a record company to support us on our further path.
In April 2003, Fritz Brinkman joined forces and takes the second guitar at hand. Fritz once played in a band that’s called Decision D a couple of years ago. His style of music you can find in the progressive way which makes that Gracefallen can create a mixture of different kind of styles. For the moment Gracefallen is ready to make a lasting impact.
