Biografie : Cromm Cruac

For a certain group of metal-fans Cromm Cruac is not a new name.
This band is still producing their contradictive style of metal, as they did since February of 1992.
In this time Cromm Cruac made three demotapes increasing their technique and developing
a style not comparable to current metal-styles.

In 1998 the band decided to record their first album titled "Senecio",
which came out the next year with the help of Firebreath/T.E.R.-records.
Though this debut-album was received very positive by in fact all of the magazines that knew of its existence,
the band remained in the underground.

After a year of songwriting and playing some gigs here and there,
Cromm Cruac entered the studio again to record their second CD. Spread out over a period
of seven months nine rather varying songs were recorded. Despite of this variety,
this new CD called "Meadows of Madness", is very recognisable without doing any concessions to more popular styles.
The close to perfect production (Harrow Productions) added a great deal to get to such a result.
"Meadows of Madness" has been released in 2001 and had great critics from major (internet) magazines.

There also have been some line-up changes. Due to the leaving of Rob in January 2003, the band was without a bassplayer
for a while. In Daniël Centiago replacement has been found in May 2003.
Due to the leaving of vocalist Herman in July 2004, Cromm Cruac looked out for a new vocalist. Rob heard about it
a few days later and said that he wanted to give it a shot. It worked out well, so Rob is back in the band.
In January 2005 the band parted with Daniël Centiago and Rob is taking over the bass. So the line-up is the same
as the band begun in 1992.

Cromm Cruac moves on with writing material for their third album and playing live-gigs.
They're hoping to record their third full-length somewhere, sometime.
