Candela Biography

Founded in 2001 Candela from Cologne, Germany mixes traditional melodic metal with a slight dose of prog rock, which is often apparent in the solo parts. Candela plays diverse atmospheric songs with changes of rhythm, tempo and feeling, but without losing the thread of the idea. Remarkably the Lead-guitar is played by a woman. The six musicians enthral the audience by their powerful live performance.

2001: Candela are founded by Michael Siegmund (bass) and Uwe Giesa (rhythm guitar); the first songs are written
October 2001: Stefan L..tsch (drums) joines the band;
March 2002: Juliane Ehl (lead & rhythm guitar) joins the band; excessive search for a singer seems to lead nowhere
Mai 2002: Scotty is supposed to be the perfect choice for the singer, but he leaves the band two days prior to their first gig in November - no one really gets why
March 2003: The band finds Pedro Fuentes, an enthusiastic southamerican singer who has never done metal before; the voice is a little unusual, but the reactions are positive; the band plays their first gigs and records a demo
September 2003: Pedro has to leave the band to return to Chile
November 2003: On the search for a new singer the band finds a keyboard player - Thomas Schwarz - instead; some songs are changed to fit the new line-up, new songs are written
April 2004: Christian Kulike (vocals) is done doing karaoke and joines the band
Summer 2004: The band plays a few gigs in the new line-up
October 2004/February 2005: The band records the Demo "Diversity"
