Achyronthia (Belgium)
P o r t r a i t
Ostend, Belgium, Spring 1999: Jerry & Kris Winkelmans, Rik Aspeslagh & Kris
Bollenberg joined forces. The foundations of Achyronthia were a fact. The band
expanded to six by the end of the year. Chris Dufour on bass and singer Nicolas
Francois completed the package. Under the banner of metal, songwriting commenced
and the journey began... Achyronthia was seen on stage for the first time in
April of 2000. A couple of gigs followed. Their first demo was planned in 2002. "The
Fountain Of Youth" was recorded in the Rockfabriek in Brussels and contains
six tracks. Shortly after recording in Brussels, their journey came to a standstill.
A group parted ways with Nicolas Francois. The band also lost its rehearsalroom,
where they were out for about 9 months.
Finally the path to Hell opened again and Achyronthia arose from its desolation.
They found a new hiding place and a new vocalist called Ramses Heydens. The
following months were spent on songwriting with their new man Ramses. Almost
all of the older songs were left behind. In 2005 they planned the recording
of a self-financed full-length CD at Midas studio in Lokeren. But again, fate
had bad timing! A couple of weeks before the recording, starting-point Ramses
left the band. His job & band activities mecame impossible to combine.
The vacancy was quickly filled. Young and fresh blood was
introduced into the band. Jokke Ponette reinforced their ranks and band moved
on to the next chapter of its journey. "The
Final Crossing" was released
in 2006. Unfortunatelly, In November 2006 Rik decided to call it a day and
left the band for personal reasons. Achyronthia was determined to continue
the journey with five, but... In July 2007 Nicolas Brackx came, saw and started
rehearsals with group as a second guitar player!
