Artist History Eventide was founded in the early summer of '98 by Jacob Magnusson and Niclas Linde. The idea was to combine the heaviness of melodic death metal with the complex structures, clean vocals and varied rythms of progressive metal and create a unique sound. The original lineup consisted of Jacob Magnusson (lead guitars, vocals), Niclas Linde (lead and rythm guitars), Max Seppälä (drums), Åke Wallebom (bass). This was the lineup that entered 'Los Angered Recording' in november '99 to record the first demo-cd, 'Caress the abstract'. The respons from zines and labels was great but we were not quite satisfied ourselves with the result since we realized that there was a lack of originality and progression on the demo. In July '00 we found that our new songs were alot different from the 'caress the abstract'-material, and that we had grown as musicians. So we decided to record yet another demo. We recorded the music on a 8-channel portable studio. Both the mixing of the demo and the recording of the vocals took place in 'Los Angered recording'. We decided to call it 'PROMO 2000' because it will only be used for promotional purpose and will not be available for purchase.

Group Members We have had alot of lineup changes since the first demo and we are now a five-piece band: Jacob Magnusson - Lead vocals, guitars. Max Seppälä - Drums & percussion. Jonas Sjölin- Guitars. Andreas Kronqvist - Keyboards. Niclas Linde - Bassguitar
