Biography of BandTwilightning was formed in 1998 in Imatra Finland. The original line-up consisted of four members: Tommi Sartanen
(gtr.voc.), Ville Wallenius (gtr.), Jussi Kainulainen (b) and Juha Leskinen (dr.). In February 1999 the band recorded
their first demo at Astia studios in Lappeenranta and due to that the they played a handful of gigs mostly in their home
town. A few months later Mikko Naukkarinen joined the band as a keyboard player which resulted in approved live
performance and enabled adding a new atmospheric dimension to song writing. The style and sound of the band was developing
towards the present form as Twilightning recorded their second demo-CD "Affection Seeker" in April 2000. It was sold
mostly in Finland and sent scattered places around the world before the Japanese company Disc Heaven wanted to buy all the
remaining 200 copies of it. The group was doing more gigs including Nummirock 2000 festival and some smaller festivals in
Finland.
The year 2001 brought a major enforcement as Heikki Pцyhiд hit the line-up as a lead singer. Soon the band went off to
record their third demo, called Return to Innocence, which received very good reviews and rouse the interest of record
labels and got the band more publicity. The style of the band was taken to a more unique sounding combination of dynamic
guitar work, catchy vocal lines, peculiar synth sounds and arrangements, hard driving drums and the mood of 80's hard
rock.
In November 2001 Twilightning signed a deal with Spinefarm records. The group continued performing and Tommi and Ville
begun writing new material for the debut album. In September 2002 the band started the recordings of the album at Astia
studio with Anssi Kippo, who also acted as a producer. The album was mixed by Timo Tolkki of Stratovarius at Finnvox
studios in January 2003. |
