BiografieARMA GATHAS was founded by Simon Füllemann (founding member of Cataract, Mine, Damage ID and Armicide) towards the end of 2006. Born as a project to fulfill Simon Füllemann’s artistic visions, it took a long and winding road to find the right collective to make the songs as powerful as possible. Over three dozen songs were written over the past three years; many of which were recorded and demoed all over the planet (with, for example, Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Dying) to find the best tuning, mood and pace possible, to bring Füllemann’s artistic visions come alive.

In early 2009, Simon Füllemann and Ché Snelting (founding ex-member of Born From Pain) got together to talk about finally being in a band together. Soon, after hearing the songs and musical concept, Che’s passion was reinvigorated. Joined by lead guitarist Marc Niedersberg (Machinemade God, Cornelius) and 20-year old drum talent Max van Winkelhof (ex-Disloyal), the collective became the perfect team to give birth to the 13 songs that will appear on the album.

By the end of January the band was joined by Alex “Lahnsteiner” Härtel on Bass to deliver more heavyness to the songs.

The idea behind ARMA GATHAS was to define a new outlet for Simon Füllemann’s and Ché Snelting’s creativity and passion for what they love most: music. The name ARMA GATHAS symbolizes everything this band stands for: DIY mentality, individuality, creativity and passion.Quelle: http://www.myspace.com/armagathas www
