Autumnblaze

Autumnblaze was founded in 1996 by the Paragon Of Beauty members Eldron and Arisjel. In the beginning they had the idea to combine the melodic death/black metal of classic bands like Dissection and Naglfar with the dark and melancholic edge acts like Katatonia had developed over the years. After a demo cassette and a single EP, the debut record “DämmerElbenTragödie” was released in 1999. This album established Autumnblaze as a melancholic metal band with sort of very ambitious and metaphoric lyrics.

With their following outputs and changing line-ups, Autumnblaze explored different musical territories ranging from alternative rock to singer/songwriter, trip hop and classical gothic rock/wave inspired music, before in 2005 Eldron felt directionless, tired and burned out. Because of this he announced the split of Autumnblaze.

Finally the newborn friendship between Eldron and Arisjel was the only possible way to reactivate Autumnblaze with the energy of the early years. Completed by Schwadorf (The Vision Bleak, Empyrium) the band will record the 5th full-length album in november 2008.
