Through the Mist formed when brothers Tim and Ryan Wicklund joined up with long time friend Fritz Petersen in August of 2004. Looking to create something that would challenge everyone in the band, Through the Mist strove to make music that is unique, technical, heavy and above all else, melodic. Unable to play live or move forward with only two guitarists and a drummer, Through the Mist began their search for a bass player and a vocalist. Summer of 2005 saw the addition of Brock Flewelling on bass, and Through the Mist was almost complete. With no vocalist and no prospects on the horizon, guitarists Fritz and Ryan decided to step up and fill the void. They spent the months of June and July rigorously rehearsing their material, and played their first show in August of 05 at the Body Gallery in Ludington Michigan. Since then Through the Mist has played shows all over Michigan, and are looking to show their music to as many people as possible. For the past two years, Through the Mist competed in the KLQ Heavyweights and made it into the finals, establishing TTM as a Grand Rapids staple. Recently, Through the Mist went through a lineup change with the departure of Brock. To fill the void they recruited Wayne Greiner, who had collaborated musically with Ryan and Tim in the past. TTM has had the honor of playing with tons of great local bands, as well as with Scar Symmetry, The Haunted, Into Eternity and the mighty Dark Tranquillity. Through the Mist combines elements of Thrash, Black and Death Metal to make their own blend of epic Melodic Death Metal.
