Achyronthia

Spring 1999: Jerry and Kris Winkelmans, Rik Aspeslagh and Kris Bollenberg joined forces. The foundations of Achyronthia were a fact.The band expanded to six by the end of the year. Chris Dufour on bass and singer Nicolas François completed the package. Under the banner of metal songwriting commenced and the journey began...Achyronthia was seen on stage for the first time in April of 2000. A couple of gigs followed.Our first demo was planned in 2002. "The fountain of youth" was recorded in the Rockfabriek in Brussels and contains six tracks.Shortly after the recording in Brussels, our journey came to a standstill. We parted ways with Nicolas François. The band also lost its rehearsal room, we were out for about nine months.Finally the path to Hell opened again and Achyronthia arose from its desolation. We found a new hiding place and a new vocalist named Ramses Heydens.The following months were spent on songwriting with our new man Ramses. Almost all of the older songs were left behind. The object of our effort: Heading for a first professional recording.In 2005 we planned the recording of a self financed full- length CD at Midas studio in Lokeren. But again, fate had bad timing! A couple of weeks before the recording starting-point Ramses left the band. His job and band activities became impossible to combine.The vacancy was quickly filled. Young and fresh blood was introduced into the band.. Jokke Ponette reinforced our ranks and we moved on to the next chapter of our journey. "The Final Crossing" was released in January 2006.Unfortunately, in november 2006 Rik decided to call it a day and left the band for personal reasons. Achyronthia was determined to continue the journey with five but... In July 2007 Nicolas Brackx joined and started rehearsals with us as second guitar player! 2008 Started with a lot of gigs in Belgium and reached a highlight as we were chosen too represent Belgium in the prestigious Wacken festival. After a rewarding return from Wacken we started to write new songs. Our aim.. A second sonic assault! Ostendfest 2008 Wacken Open Air 2008
