ARCTIC WINDS was born in the bitter cold of February 2005 when hard hitting drummer, DRAGONIS NIGHT(ex-UNKNOWN REMAINS, NOCTURNAL SUPREMACY,DEMONIC BLOODLINE), and both lead guitarist,SEGIS a.k.a. ICEMAN & Bass Guitarist,STORM (ex-MUTILACION) decided to form a band that had an idealogy and music creation that is different from what they have done in their previous bands.
The main focus was to construct songs and create music that we enjoyed and did not hear in Los Angeles metal scene or in California for that matter. Working hard and showing extreme technicality and memorable songwriting skills and show no mercy attitude to create some incredible slab of new & extreme metal that has never been heard and or attempted before.
The search was rough in finding the proper vocalist after many unsuccessful auditions, ARCTIC WINDS found DONNIE MARHEFKA (ex-UNSANCTIFIED,BURIAL,EVILUTION) through a mutual friend. Now with DONNIE in front of the mic., this elite line up was ready for world domination.
After a few months of rehearsing relentlessly & honing in on their brutality and aggresiveness ARCTIC WINDS entered the studio to record the soon to be classic "THROUGH ICE WIND AND STORM"! Which will be a monumental release for this refreshing brand of metal. In a city that has spawned many clones with no identity or originality ARCTIC WINDS are visionaries, not followers of trends but in fact creators of new & truly different style of sheer apocalyptic & extreme metal.
This art of extreme metal will see new horizons as we strive to work hard and continue to bring quality yet devastional metal to the masses.
ARCTIC WINDS will be promoteing and booking shows relentlessly through 2007 to promote the upcoming release and debut full length album entitles "THORUGH ICE WIND AND STORM"! This release will surely be a devasting platue & create a new atmosphere in the Los Angeles metal community today as we know to excist.
ARCTIC WINDS has recently added a new guitar shredder - Matt F. to the family. This will increase the raw power of our live peformances, with mean solos, dual guitar harmony's, and sheer non stop brutality!
