NETHERBIRD sprung into existence during
November 2004 in Stockholm Sweden as Nephente (vocals),
Bizmark (guitars, keyboard) and Grim (guitars) found
they were sharing a vision on how to write and record
metal music without the limitations of a set line up
or metal. The clear intent to create music without to
much concern of genres or instrumentation has resulted
in the band having a rather broad range of obvious influences
spanning from black metal to to doom and heavy metal.
The roots and deeper influences can always be found
in the Scandinavian metal legacy.
The first song ever recorded, “Boulevard Black”,
was originally released as a limited promotion single
to select labels and media resulted in a lot of interest
of the band. The next release was the “Blood Orchid
EP” which also was the last to feature Grim in
the recording line up. Both “Boulevard Black”
and “Blood Orchid” were released through
the Internet as free downloads in early 2007 and has
served to amass a big gathering of listeners on MySpace
and elsewhere.
During the writing process of “Lighthouse Eternal
(Laterna Magika) EP” NETHERBIRD
signed with Pulverised Records to release the first
full length album given the title “The Ghost Collector”.
The band pushed on the planed release of the “Lighthouse
EP” through Internet and shortly after that release
went on to write and record three more tracks for the
full length album.
During the recoding of all releases NETHERBIRD
has involved guests and session musicians contributing
to the development of both the sound of the band. Some
names that appear in the NETHERBIRD
line up are: Adrian Erlandsson (At the Gates,
the Haunted, Cradle of Filth), Skinny (Deathstars),
Brice LeQlerc (Nightrage, Dissection),
Janne Saarenpää (the Crown, Angel
Blake), Mojjo (Engel, The Project Hate,
Lord Belial, Runemagick, Relevant Few) and
Kitty Saric (Decadence) among others.
NETHERBIRD has now entered a new phase
and will go on to record the next albums with a complete
line up that will also make it possible for the band
to accept gig invitations. |
