DEINONYCHUS || SUICIDAL DARK
METAL - HOLLAND|| |

|
|
DEINONYCHUS is in no means a band like others. Sofar
there haven't been given any objective comparisons with
other bands, mainly due the unique vocals derived in
this band. Though this band started off as a Black Metal
band in Autumn 1992, over the years DEINONYCHUS established
themselves as a Doom/Death band with as main ingredient:
melancholy. The lyrics mainly deal with lifeless philosophy
as of cynically said…
1992: DEINONYCHUS started to get shape as a one-man
outfit, created by the Dutch Marco Kehren.
1993: A first demo simply entitled as "Promo 1993"
got released in October 1993;
1994: The first and only rehearsal "A Shining Blaze
Over Darkland" was released. In March the band
got signed with Cacophonous Records from UK and recorded
their first album.
1995: "The Silence Of December" was released.
This album showed a progression away from traditional
Black Metal, into a mix of Black/Doom Metal with extreme
vocals.
1996: DEINONYCHUS recorded a second album for Cacophonous
Records in February; called "The Weeping Of A Thousand
Years". This album could be seen as a mix of Black/Death/Gothic
Metal with a very emotional touch.
1997: In March 1997 DEINONYCHUS signed with UK label
Supernal Music. "Ark Of Thought" was released.
This album established DEINONYCHUS as a seriously taken
one-man band. In the same year the demo got released
on MCD under the title "After The Rain Falls…
An Empty Sky Remains" by the Mexican label Guttural
Records.
1998: Marco Kehren focused on the German band BETHLEHEM
with whom he did the following items:
"S.U.I.Z.I.D." - CD (April 1998 on Red Stream),
"Reflektionen Auf's Sterben" - MCD (June 1998
on Red Stream).
1999: DEINONYCHUS signed a deal with Ars Metalli from
Germany. Furtheron DEINONYCHUS became a two-man outfit.
William Sarginson, which is known of his works with
CRADLE OF FILTH/DECEMBER MOON/THE BLOOD DIVINE, joined
DEINONYCHUS as their permanent drummer. The fourth album
simply called "Deinonychus" got recorded in
August 1999.
2000: The album "Deinonychus" got released
in May. This album was the heaviest sofar. This album
gained the most positive reactions of all DEINONYCHUS-albums
and established the band for all times… Shortly
after the release of the "Deinonychus"-album,
the band started to work on their fifth album called
"Mournument", and took in Arkdae from the
French band DARK SANCTUARY as their permanent Keyboarder.
"Mournument" got recorded in Germany during
the summer/Autumn of 2000, and was due for release on
Ars Metalli in June 2001.
2001: Ars Metalli failed to release the album for more
than 10 months, which followed in a termination of the
contract between Ars Metalli and DEINONYCHUS.
2002: In April DEINONYCHUS signed up with young label
MY KINGDOM MUSIC from Italy. Together they have released
the long delayed album "Mournument" on September
30th of 2002 while the LP version was released on October
14th of 2002 with a gatefold format and different artwork.
As of today, Marco Kehren still is the main songwriter
and composer in DEINONYCHUS, nevertheless, the band
has grown out into a solid three-piece outfit heading
from Holland, England and France.
DEINONYCHUS will continue their path and will never
compromise in their musical aspect.
Melancholy is the main factor in DEINONYCHUS, and so
be it...
