Grimlet´s genesis comes in 1999, when Nazgül and Alex (both ex-Sacrum) decide they want the metal they do to get more extreme. Jordão (also ex-Sacrum) and Nero are “recruited†and they start composing right away.
AB (ex-Milraz) joins the project some time later.
A drummer that would suit the band’s sound came along only after a three-year search period, when LuÃs (ex- Nonsense Package) jumps on board and starts pounding away.
With a complete line up and after a strenuous composing period, Grimlet plays the first concerts and grows both in consistency and as a band.
In October 2003, the band starts recording their debut EP at the EchoSystem Studios, with the producer Rui Santos (Oratory, Timeless). This was very demanding period, during which all the musicians stretch their technical and musical skills to the limit.
After a somewhat long period of production, “Darkness Shrouds the Hidden†is self-released by the band, and gets played live during the final venue of the “Rockmusic Metal Challengeâ€, at Hard Club, in Oporto, in September 2004.
Some time later, new line-up changes occur. Guitarist Jordão leaves the band and is replaced by Rui TodoBom, which forced the band to a new rehearsing and adaptation period.
The EP is then officially presented live at Nyktos Club, in Figueira da Foz, in September 2005.
Throughout 2006, the reactions of the press both national- and internationally exceeds everyone’s expectations, as the band plays the “Domination Tourâ€. During this period, Grimlet plays some of the most important stages, band battles and festivals in the country, sharing the stage with many powerful names in the Portuguese metal scene.
In 2007, new line-up changes and the keyboard player Alex, leaves the band. GrimleT has already got numerous live performances and appears in 3 metal compilations alongside national and international bands.
Presently, they are promoting their music live and are also writing new material for the long anticipated debut Album, which supposedly will emerge from the studio catacombs during 2008.
