We started in the end of the year 2005 with drinking some beer in the rockstake,we drunk way too much and we said to eachother come 'on lets jam together, we all had nothing to do the next day so we did.
So with a completely hangover the next morning,nick grabbed his bike and followed his way to Miste, where mark lives.
After jamming a little bit, they thought it was time to look for a second guitarist.
Nick knew a guy named Tom Pillen, then a few weeks later he joined the band.
The only thing we needed now was a bass-player,mark called a guy named luc,and a few weeks later he joined the band too.
Then a month later we had our first gig at Metalfront in Coevorden.
A few weeks after that,we told luc to leave the band because he didn't show enough dedication to the band.
After that we had to do some gigs, so Michel Hartman played bass-guitar one gig and Eelke van Ark played with us one gig.
Then a guy named Arjan Knoef practiced with us one time to do a show in Vorden.
It was a battle between 5 bands which we won!
This was the moment we wanted Arjan to join the band and he agreed,so empire circle was finaly born in August 2006.
After that we played some more gigs and did a liveshow at a radio program named: Live@Ideaal,this is the same show where our mp3's are recorded.
