BiografieThe germ of SPIRAL MADNESS appeared in 1996, when a band called VINEGAR (existing since 1992 in Warsaw) had been on decline. After breaking up, Zephyr and Lysy (Baldhead) were left alone and tried to reactivate the band. They met Chmura (Cloud), had a pint and almost reached an agreement, but due to a bad fortune they didn´t play together. After three years, in the beginning of 1999, Chmura and Zephyr talked things out about the music style and that?s how MORGENSTERN was born. But bad luck made us split again. The project fell, but the songs composed weren?t forgotten. Some time later, in the second half of the year, Chmura persuaded Jack - the drummer, to form a band and to compose some music. He called Zephyr and SPIRAL MADNESS has been brought to life (the name comes from Lysy´s lyrics) and it absorbed the ideas born in MORGENSTERN. We played in trio: Zephyr (v, b), Chmura (gt), and Jack (dr). After a year of playing we composed 10 songs and recorded a demo called GRAVELAND. In June 2000, Jack left the band. We wanted to play concerts - he did not. So we started to look for a drummer. In the beginning of 2001 Zephyr met Viking and second guitar joined us. Deny - ex-drummer of CLAYMORE (the band had already fallen apart then) surprisingly appeared, willing to make music with us. So we met all together: Zephyr (v, b), Chmura (gt), Viking (gt), Deny (dr) on a rehearsal and the decision to make music was made. The result was difficult to describe, generally quite slow death metal with a bit of cheerful tunes. After a year we recorded a demo entitled DEATH&ROLL - that´s how we used to call our style, because it was hard to classify it. The demo was made to allow any promotion to the band, as the GRAVELAND demo wasn´t suitable for it due to low quality of recording. Although DEATH&ROLL also didn´t have the best quality, it had its specific atmosphere. In October 2002 Viking left the band. The beginning of 2003 is the time of changes. Seler (Celery) - the second guitarist, joined the band and Deny was replaced by Wielebny (Reverend) - both are the former members of the band MARTIAN. The 2003/2004 period was when THE BERSERK CROWNING was made - the crowning of efforts of the band and everyone who had played in SPIRAL MADNESS. The album includes 14 songs plus the additional track - KOSZMAR as a bonus, because of its specific, different atmosphere. It wasn´t supposed to be included, but as it was recorded we decided to add it as a bonus track... The old songs were reinvented. The bonus track´s lyrics were written in Polish. WORLD IS ASH is a cover of a song made by the previous Zephyr´s band - VINEGAR, as he wanted to thank the people from the band for the time spent. The song was composed in ´94. THE BERSERK CROWNING is the mixture of thrash and death metal? but there´s no need to babble, just listen to it. THE BERSERK BROWNING was recorded by: ZEPHYR (voc, bass); CHMURA (gt); SELER (gt); WIELEBNY (dr), but the band has been weakened since, as CHMURA decided to leave us after 5 years of playing in SPIRAL MADNESS... In April 2004 Twaróg (Curds) joined us as a second guitarist...Quelle: http://www.spiralmadness.metal.plDiscografie2004 The Berserk Crowning
