Gruffolo band was born in spring 2007. Founders of the band Yakhell n Branch don't remember where it came from. So they became quintet: Grrr, Yakhell, Croak, Branch, Ensiferumka - the five different persons with different tastes were united by lust for music and ready to explode everything and everyone.
In 2007 Gruffolo starts to write their own songs n’ gigs activity. Gruffolo has already played with Svartby, Sinful, Demons of Guillotine, Solerrain, Batterfly Temple, Калевала – bands quite famous in Russia - and many others.
The music of Gruffolo is sympho-death metal with some thrash, core n folk elements. Music is based on the idea of beauty and power of life and nature which come to light in some unexpected, strange case. Each song is the story about retribution! They tell about punishment, when men break the ancient rules of life. And the END is always the same - DEATH!
In Spring 2008, the first demo «Rest in Forest» of 3 tracks was recorded. The internet release received favorable comments and was well accepted by metal journalists.
And in the end of 2008 the band recorded a new track - “World Juicesâ€. “World Juices†is the new step – and a perfect demonstration of the band’s development, cruising to much more brutal and hard sound . The song took on an even more aggressive n’ drive! Now Gruffolo is in good form and starts recording our debut album.To be continued…
