Biography : Serpentcult

ormed in the summer of 2006, Belgium's SerpentCult got together with just one common goal; to write the most unorthodox and heavy riffs of the last few decades!
Starting of as a three piece, the band soon started writing the first tunes, and the first gigs were already booked before the whole live set was even finished or any vocal line was written. During the first months, Steven and Frederic made some horrible attempts to take the vocal duties, but soon made the wise decision that they should keep on doing what they were good at, and that didn't include singing. Oh Humbleness…
By the time Michelle joined the ranks as a full time vocalist, the first EP was already completely written, but it just needed the finishing touch on vocals. So in January 2007, SerpentCult went to the studio to record their debut EP 'Trident Nor Fire', to be released by the Swedish I Hate Records.
In no time, the band gathered quite a following, and the release of 'Trident Nor Fire' in April 2007 was the kickoff for a row of national and international concerts.
Of course, the band couldn't sit still, and after an already extremely busy 2007, they completed the writing of their debut full length album 'Weight Of Light'. Taking a slightly different approach to the songwriting than on 'Trident Nor Fire', 'Weight Of Light' sounds even heavier and darker than the debut EP.
For the production of 'Weight Of Light', SerpentCult went for a week of Amplifier Worship Spa to Birmingham (UK) to work with the grandmasters of subsonic frequencies, being Greg Chandler at the recording desk, and Billy Anderson, at the mixing table in his home studio in Oakland California. October 6th of 2008 shall see the release of 'Weight Of Light' on Rise Above records, followed by a wide range of gigs and tours all over again.
