BIOGROPHY
It all began in
1984 as Hellstorm. Agathon got his first influences as a teenager from
the bands like
Venom,Hellhammer & Bathory. Hellstorm ended quite soon, but the
title "Fuck The World, Kill The
jehova!" remained. Gloomy Grim used it as the first demo name.The
folklore tells, that Hellstorm was
the first Black Metal band in Finland. At the time Agathon
played guitar, but he got more and more
into drumming, Agathon joined other bands and
concentrated on drums till 1995 when he
bought a
computer. Agathon started to feel that drumming was not enough and that
computer could give more
possibilities to create music of his own. He wanted to create
dark music, music from the Depth of the
Darkest Pit of Hell and with no compromises from any other band
members. Agathon started Gloomy Grim as
a one man band. The biggest inspiration has always been the dark life
itself and the soundtracks of the
horror films he collected. Agathon made two demos and after the latter:
"Friendship is Friendship, War
is War!" Gloomy Grim signed to Holy Records, France. Between the
beginning and the end of the deal,
there has been four albums, three videos and two successful tours in
France. Gloomy Grim has also made
some furious live shows in around Scandinavia & Baltic. After the
album titled "The Grand Hammering"
(2004) and +30 000 sold titles, Gloomy Grim has parted ways with Holy
Records. Gloomy Grim feels that
this is just the beginning. The tale goes on.
New album "Under The Spell Of The Unlight" came out through Anticulture
records at 26.5.2008.
