История Hanging Garden
началась летом 2004, когда Matti (бас, клавишные) и Ari (вокал) решили
создать команду в стиле doom metal. Идея состояла в том, чтобы в рамках
одного проекта объединить звучание двух уже существовавших команд, а
именно dark rock группы Matti – Shamrain и thrash death metal команды
Ari – Dauntless. Их общий друг Janne (также Shamrain) напросился играть
на ударных, а в дальнейшем к команде также присоединились гитарист Mikko
(также Shamrain) и второй гитарист Saku. Осенью-зимой 2005 новая
команда уже во всю работала над демо-материалами и вскоре получила
контракт со Spikefarm Records..." источник
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Idea of a band playing slow, doomy metal is born between singer Ari
Nieminen and bassist Matti Reinola in 2004. Soon after, drummer Janne
Jukarainen and guitarists Mikko Kolari and Saku Manninen join the band.
After hard song writing and rehearsing, recordings of the first promo-CD
start. The band is named 'Hanging Garden' and the promo is finished
just before Finnish Metal Expo in February 2006. One promo ends up on
hands of Sami from Spikefarm Records, and eventually Hanging Garden inks
a deal with the label.On fall 2006 HG travels to northern
Finland to record their debut album at the legendary Tico Tico Studios.
Release is set to February 2007. Album is titled 'Inherit The Eden', and
receives great feedback & reviews around the world. Afterwards
Hanging Garden plays gigs all over Finland. During the writing of
their 2nd album, Saku is replaced by a new guitarist Jussi Hämäläinen.
After long and hard creating period, studio sessions finally start on
July 2009. Album is titled TEOTWAWKI and introduces a more variating and
rawer musical style, compared to it's predecessor 'Inherit The Eden'.
English death doom influences and acoustic parts are accompanied by
post-metallic harshness, post-rockish fragility and hard core style
vocal parts. The overall sound is less keyboard orientated and
unpolished. Lyrically TEOTWAWKI draws a gloomy image of mankind and
decadence, natural disasters and the inevitable downfall.Album
is mixed and mastered at Toontekning Recording, Sweden by Magnus
Lindberd and released November 11th 2009 by Spikefarm Records.In
the spring of 2010 followed a few changes in line-up; first, Ari
decided to leave the band due to personal reasons. A new singer, Toni
Toivonen, was soon recruited as a throat replacement.Soon after
that, Janne, too, decided to part ways with Hanging Garden, and Antti
Ruokola was quickly found to fill the gap perfectly.Hanging Garden  |
