The name Cradlestone came after many other ones, including Nevermore, Bad Religon and Stone Circle. We come from Iceland. And I have no idea why I'm writing in english.
Anyway, the band included Marinó Raven (Lead vocals / acoustic guitar), Aron Öfjörð (Rhythm guitar), Þorleifur Gaukur (Lead guitar), Kalli (Bass guitar) and Jónas Haux (Drums&Percussion).
But a little bit more on with the story.
-
Through the project, which finished with a (quite awesome in my opinion), show/concert, the band rehearsed two songs; 'In the Night' and 'Home'. We successfully recorded 'Home' in a 'studio' at Grundaskóli (one of two elementary schools in our town Akranes) and 'In the Night' was recorded on the show we played at the end of the project, called 'Ungir/Gamlir' (Young/Old). The idea was to get experienced musicians to share their knowledge with younger musicians. 'Rockstar Supernova' Magni sang The dolphins cry with the band at the concert, which came out quite OK (compared to the fact that it was, like, 5% rehearsed ;P )
But enough about the band, if you like our music, please add us and whatever else =D
We are currently looking for a drummer and a guitarist.
Aroudn the time when the band was planning to compete at FVA Music Contest 2008, everyone except for Raven quit the band.
Still the band had registered to enter the competition, and was bound to compete, so Marinó asked his friend and former bandmate in bands Afterlife and White Lightning to join him as a replacement on bass guitar. They were also rehersing at the time in a band called Servants of Silent Agony, which made it through to the finals, but did not win.
Under the name Cradlestone, Raven and Ãstþór played a song called "A Dream of a Lie" at the competition and horrifyingly sadly didn't make it through. What a shock.Some time after that, Marinó decided to continue with the band, using it as his own project for a bunch of acoustic-based songs he had written.Now, in december of 2008, S.o.S.A. has taken a break, so maybe there will be some time for Cradlestone to try their songs out and search for new members.If you are interested, contact us through myspace or at [email protected].
