The Fallen Divine is a metal band from Norway, that is centered around Sandvika, Akershus. The band started playing in the summer of 2009 when guitarist and composer Magnus Haugo decided to create music that he felt the world needed, and lacked. He wrote a demo, but in order to give life to this diamond in the rough, he needed skilled musicians. Magnus discovered the first member advertising himself on the internet as a drummer that was interested in a similar project. This drummer's name was “Alexander Stebbing”.
With a drummer down, Magnus needed a guitarist. Now, there are plenty of guitarists on this earth, but really skilled guitarists are there far too few of. Markus Charras however, was by far one of the better guitarists Magnus knew. This, and the fact that they were school comrades, meant that there was no doubt in Magnus's decision to hire Markus.
Looking for vocalist online, Magnus Haugo managed to discover an incredible vocalist by the name of Magnus Kvist. The Fallen Divine also needed a keyboardist, and Magnus Haugo was happy to find that this essential position could be covered by Magnus Kvist, who was also a highly proficient keyboardist.
All that was needed to complete the band was a bassist. Magnus Haugo recalled a party he had attended many months back, where he had a drunken conversation with Christoffer Wig. They had both expressed interest in starting a metal band. Christoffer Wig was originally a guitarist, but upon joining the band, they discovered that he had an extreme talent for bass guitar, and also composed a lot of music.
The Fallen Divine was finally complete. Magnus Haugo and Christoffer Wig's talent for writing music, and Alex Stebbings constant onslaugt of idea's formed the ground work for the EP “The Eternal Past and Future” and they have written now a full album, ready to play live for the world !
With Markus Charras's inhuman speed and guitar capabilities, Magnus Haugo's wonderfull riffs and songs, Christoffer Wig's amazing bass and song writing talent, Alex Stebbing's speedy, but tasteful drumming and intellectual lyrics and Magnus Kvist's hair raising vocals, and atmospheric keyboard work, The Fallen Divine are complete, and ready to begin their long musical journey.
