"A Hatefull Wind Blew Across Our Lands.."
Hatewind has started as an idea by Ben and Marco, when they where going to Graspop Metal Meeting (2007). They where listening to Children of Bodom, and both agreed that is was some good shit. They where both in a band called Destination Unknown. Marco was the guitar player, and Ben was grunter/screamer. Although metal, it wasn't verry loud, so they thought of a side project. At first they called it "Punch Me I Bleed" after a Children of Bodom song, but that was just a working title. At Graspop they got more and more idea's for the band. It would be a death/blackmetal band. The loud stuff. Then almost a month later, they saw eachotter again at a band meeting of Destination Unknown. It was a meeting to talk about what to do to make this band work.. Eventualy it didn't work, because 2 days later the band died..
Now the only two remaining members of Destination Unknown, Ben and Marco, who also happend to be the songwriters (lyrics and guitars), had already joined together. They started of with making realy heavy Black/Death, but als Doommetal. Their first songs were called "Bloodstained" - "Shadows" - "Suicide" - "Break It" and "The Kiss Before I Die." All accept for one (The Kiss Before I Die) where with just grunts and screams (and offcourse heavy guitars). They worked really hard, and played music for all these songs in one evening. Then it was time to eat, and Ben and Marco got to the snackbar. They orderd fries, and stuff like that. Then at their way back, Ben tried to smoke a cigaret, but the wind blew out the flame from the lightner.. Over and over again. He the shouted: Ik haat de wind! (I hate the wind). And there it was.. Their bandname. Hatewind. After some meetings, Ben and Marco decided they wanted to put the Destination Unknown songs into their new project, and the music got somewhat more symphonic. Even ballads where put into the mix. Now a half year later, they are still making metal, and their passion for their songs only grows stronger and stronger. Now they will only have to find some aditional bandmembers, and the band will be ready to blow your ears away at their verry first live gigs.
