waking the dead - july 2006 / ......:
From the ashes of Skulls And Flames Waking the dead arise.
Waking the dead actually formed 5 minutes after Dave d. announced to quit with saf!
Ed and Mike d. agreed continue to thrash and shred together with a new project.
Ed switched from 4 string assault to 6 string mayhem and Mike still try's to hit drums.
Amsterdam thrashers Jaap and Tim completed the band on screams and 4 string assault.
After a couple of shows and the first demo recordings Jaap quit and was replaced by Max.
With this line up we did a couple of tours and had two recording sessions at the dead area recording facilities .
In December 2007 and February 2008 we've recorded 29 songs from which we selected 13 for our split 12" with the shining.
This 12" is released in August 2008 on pick up records and dead area.
Summer 2009 was the last recording session with this line up. This time 30 songs (15 leftovers and 15 new ones!).
17 songs made it to our fulllenght 10" 'empire' that will be released early 2010 by dead area, crew for life europe, holy shit uk, rock mutante brazil and the cd version by flipped up hungaria.
2010, a new year, a new line up. Waking the dead welcomes Maarten en Dave d. as double 6 string power thrash attack riff meisters. We hope to gig this spring and do a minitour at the start of summer 2010.
Probably some new recordings after the summer of 2010.
