| Band biography |
After the first demo Deepred finally got the line-up together as Dani (vocals) and Henkka (bass) joined the band. With the new line-up Deepred played the first shows around Finland and also recorded a new demo "All Will See Rebirth". Both of the demos gained the band interest from several labels and then early 2000 Deepred was signed to BLUNT FORCE RECORDS in USA for the debut full-length album release.
More domestic shows followed on regular basis and Deepred established themselves as one of the most extreme live acts in Finland. The debut album "Prophetic Luster" was recorded summer 2000 at CURSED STUDIO with Jani Loikas. Blunt Force Records released the album later the same year and the response has been praising ever since.
In 2001 the album was released again, this time for European market by FORENSICK MUSIC. The band played it's first show outside Finland headlining the Banzai Extreme Metal Fest in St. Petersburg, Russia. Vocalist Dani left the band shortly after and was replaced by Tommi Havo (Khert-Neter, Morbid Savouring?). With the new vocalist Deepred played a small tour through Czech, Slovakia and Germany in August-September and also appeared at the Ludwigshafen Deathfest in Germany.
After the fall 2001 tour Ilkka and Antti were not happy anymore with the way the band was working so bassist Henkka and drummer Teemu had to go and the remaining trio started looking for new members.
A new drummer was found at Santeri Salmi, the drummer of local death/thrash band DAUNTLESS. Things worked fine for a while but after a couple of months he left the band and vocalist Tommi decided to quit too. Shortly after Ilkka and Antti found themselves jamming once again with the old drummer Teemu so the band was back at the founding 3-piece line-up.
Early 2002 saw a new Deepred release as the Dying Fetus/Deepred split 7" was released by RELAPSE RECORDS. This EP featured the last recorded material with Dani on vocals and Henkka on bass, recorded summer 2001 at Cursed Studio. Another split 7" (with Slugathor) is scheduled for April release on SNUFF RECORDS in Czech Republik, featuring a leftover song from Prophetic Luster session and the bands Impetigo cover songs, already on the Impetigo tribute ?Wizards of Gore? (Razorback Records).
Finally a new vocalist was found in Rodrigo Artiga (ex-KABAK, El Salvador) so Deepred is back with a vengeance and more brutal than ever. The band is currently working on a new album to be recorded later in 2002 and have also lots of shows lined up through the year, including the Gothenburg Deathfest in Sweden, Mountains of Death Open Air in Switzerland etc etc. Until a new bassist is found Deepred will perform live as 4-piece with Antti handling the bass.
This far Deepred has shared the stage with bands such as Ancient Rites, Amon Amarth, Blood, Severe Torture, Pyaemia, Disavowed, Embedded, Necroterio, Martyrium Christi, Laniena Mentis, Sanatorium, Centinex, Slugathor, Rotten Sound, Morbid Savouring, Torn, Torsofuck + many more!
On July 28th, 2004, it was announced on the band's official website that they had cancelled their upcoming European tour and split up.
