Day turns Night only came together in the year of 2006. We all used to play in former bands, hoping to make music for the rest of our life! Ferdi, Izan, Roland and Tian used to play in a former band (Fozim) situated in Somerset West, and Karel played in a band (Decay of Angels) situated in Stellenbosch.Earlier in 2005 the two bands played a few shows together, had a few drinks and almost instantly became friends! After backbreaking tours and shows of remembrance, Fozim and D.o.A. broke up more or less the same time in 2005. The remaining members of Fozim decided to keep the music flowing and recorded a 3track demo for auditions. We started with auditions early in March 2006. After a few auditions we didn’t quite find what we were looking for, so we got together at a local bar to put our heads together and think things through…We came up with the idea of asking our old friend Karel (D.o.A.) to join forces and start from the beginning and creating something totally new and fresh. He sadly rejected our proposal due to having more important priorities. So we ended up in the same bar with the same distinct look on our faces…(f**k)A month or so passed when we received an unsuspected call from Karel asking if our offer is still available, we replied with no hesitation. The following week we had an audition with great results, finally the dark cloud above our heads had lifted with a brand new vocalist and a thundering light of inspiration, hoping to create a brand new family of followers supporting the music that we call Day turns Night…!After our vocalist,karel, joined us,everything started to fall in place. The new material started to sound really good,and the gigs was awesome. The fans really supported us and helped us through the early stages. Then after two years of being in DTN and loving it, something tragic happened... One of the founding members,Izan(RIP) passed away. It was a big loss, one that made us think, one that made us realise that we must carry on, one that simply made us realise that THIS band, is our life, and we are not going to end it now!!! (And I have to thank all the people that helped us through that diffuclt stage of our lives, and to the fans that supported us no matter what.) So we started looking for a guitarist... There was only one guy that fit the bill, and one guy only... It was Theunis, or now known as 'Sergeant'. We have worked with him in previous years. First, his role was only temporarily,to play a tribute gig for Izan, but after a few jam sessions, Sergeant glued really well and he seemed so at ease with our music. After 2 weeks of comtemplating, we realised that this is our man, he is our new guitarist.We asked theunis if he would mind joining our band, and he luckily said 'yes'!!!!! He had a huge task at hand, because it is a difficult task to be Izan's predecessor.Izan was a really talented young man, and to fill his shoes wasn't easy, and so far Theunis has lived up to much more than the expectations we had.Theunis is now a big part of our music and he is here to stay.He is not there to replace Izan, he is just jamming his heart out, we never compare him with Izan, because u just can't.They are two different entities.But now we have new inspiration, and a new driving force.........to be one of the best metal bands around!!!!!!
