about
(1994 - 2000) Autumn Nostrum was formed in autumn 1994. The first members were Lars (d), Christoph (b), Sönke (g) and another guy who left the band quite in the beginning. Back then the band was called different names like "Anacostia" or "Korypheus" and as the guys were fresh on their instruments it was pretty much like performing noise instead of music. The average age of the members has been around 17. Quite soon Marcus (g) and Tobias (v, k) joined. Each member improved his skills in the following months and what slowly turned out then could be called 'death metal'. The band rehearsed in a jamming room in their secondary school. Having played the first gig with Tobias doing both, vocals and keyboards, it came clear that a new keyboarder was needed. He was found in Philip (k). In 1996 Autumn Nostrum rented a jamming room in Düsseldorf. After some more gigs the band recorded a 6-track cd at Skyline Studios. The cd (lim.500) had the innovative title 'Autumn Nostrum' and was released in late 1996. Due to positive reviews the cd sold good. In December 1997 the band recorded six new tracks for a promotion cd. Though these songs were of high quality -with a lot of melody and fast 'power-riffing', only few reactions came on this release. 1998: A gig was played with Night In Gales and Dawn Of Dreams at the 'Sojus7' in the bands' hometown Monheim. During this year the music got more brutal and less melodic. As the new style didn't appeal to Tobias, he decided to leave the band.
