Dark Remains is raised in 1998 by Frank, André (Warmaster,
ex-Mourning, ex-Etarnal Soltice) and Ramon (Eternal Solstice). Shortly
after, Ramon is replaced by Saidi. The line-up is completed after
Rogier was found, who added proper death metal vocals. After several
gigs, it was time for Dark Remains' first feat: "Death Manifestation",
released by the Cleansweep Productions label. This album clearly
represents the style of Dark Remains; old school death metal, nothing
more, nothing less. Influences which can be heard are of bands like
Immolation, (slower) Cannibal Corpse and Six Feet Under. After "Death
Manifestation" a bassplayer Rik (Vuist, Warmaster) is added, and Bob
(Ordo Draconis) replaces Saidi on guitar.
After a short break,
intentions for a second album lead to a deal with Burning Misery
Records. "Planet Earth Scourged" is Bob's and Rogier's last
contribution to the band. The latter is replaced by Erwin
(ex-Sucamus), a suitable singer from the local metalscene. After a
series of shows, Rik is replaced by Alex (Warmaster), who brings along
Cliff as a second guitarist.
In this line-up, Dark Remains records
their third album, entitled "A Construct to Obliterate", during the
start of 2009, a little over 10 years after the band was set up. This
album provides the listener with solid and diverse old school death
metal, again. In the current line-up, the band is totally ready to
destroy any stage with their no nonsense death metal!
Current line-up:
Erwin - Vocals
Frank - Guitar
Cliff - Guitar
Alex - Bassguitar
André - Drums
Former band members:
Rik - Bassguitar (Planet Earth Scourged)
Rogier - Vocals (Death Manifestation, Planet Earth Scourged)
Bob - Guitar (Planet Earth Scourged)
