The time came sometime in late 2004 when Grim and Nephente completed writing, for the first time, a track together: Boulevard Black. When presented with the demo track producer PNA agreed to join forces with the two and this marks the birth of Netherbird. PNA recommended guitarist Bizmark to join the line-up and he accepted.
At present Netherbird is constituted by Nephente (writing lyrics), Grim (writing music), Bizmark (writing music) and PNA (production) and this being the solid part of the band. From the first recording of Boulevard Black and from then on Netherbird relies on guild members (session musicians, friends and allies) to fill the ranks to record various tracks and since this has worked out and adds to the tracks Netherbird will continue this way of working for the time being.
Netherbird also focuses on the visual aspects of the musical experience and has also expanded the line-up to include models, photographers and artists from all around the world adding their ideas and creativity to the website, cover artwork and future videos and live performances.
Studio project?
No, if that would mean that the band does only exist in a studio setting. Netherbird will enter stages as soon as the right opportunity emerges and will then of course bring an entire live line-up formed from the ranks of the core and guild. It is to early to speculate when this will happen but it is not a question of if rather it’s a question of when. The live act Netherbird will differ a lot from many metal bands, that much is guaranteed.
Signed or unsigned?
Netherbird is not signed to a record label, does that mean that Netherbird is a demo band? Well, this is a hard question to answer. There are so many labels out there and so many bands put out a full length record nowadays so being a signed band does not say much. Netherbird has turned down a number of record label deal offerings since that would limit the band’s chances of doing this differently like making all recordings available for free download with cover artwork. Netherbird is an act with high ambitions and a new way of working the music industry, if that makes it a demo band so be it. It is by no means certain that the band will stay unsigned, given the right company/label the band would not hesitate to sign a deal but that would require a very interesting offer, far from the old fashioned contracts of the traditional metal labels, that is for sure.
