Grief Of Emerald

Grief of emerald was formed back in 90-92. Robert (keys) joined in '95 and we recorded a demo called "The Beginning", which was later released as a limited mini cd (500). Listenable Records offered the band a deal, and the band signed for 3 cd's. Their debut fullength album called "Nightspawn" received very good response. Fredrik (drums) was kicked out and got replaced by a new drummer named Jonas. He joined a couple of months before the recording of the second CD entitled "Malformed seed". The band did some touring around Europe and got pretty good response. They played at the "Wave Gothic treffen" in Germany (Leipzig) and the "Party San Open Air Festival" (also Germany). Gigs with Immortal, Marduk, Necrophobic etc. were done. We also headlined a festival in Finland by the way. After all this the band took a break from touring and focused on new material completely. After the "Malformed seed" album, the band wrote "Christian Termination". Jonas is suffering from some shoulder problems (started in the studio when "Christian Termination" was recorded), he is now replaced by a session drummer untill he gets back. The band is entering the studio to record a tribute song to Celtic frost. After a few months the band got back on tour with Bestial Mockery, Sear Bliss, Skyforgir and Obtest. The tour last for half a month because their instruments was total disaster and we didn't get any food or sleep so they refused to play in Helsinki and then got kicked out of the tour. Jonas arm has not improved so Karl Karlsson got to be their new drummer. Robert Bengtsson has quit Grief of Emerald for personal reasons and Jonas Blom helped the band with keybords for a while but leaved quite soon. You will find him in a new band called Azezeron! The replacement and the new keyboard player is Lena Hjalmarsson from Cyphoria. Anders Tång has also left the band. The sparkle wasn't there anymore. Andreas Hedström from Descending is the replacement on bass guitar.
