About Me |
|
Codeon is a modern metal band from Helsinki, Finland, playing technical yet melodic, aggressive metal. 2002 2002 Everything was started in October 2002. Sami had just moved to Helsinki and was looking for a band, while at the same time Lauri was forming one and looking for members via the internet. Over the course of several meetings, the general style of Codeon's music was developed. 2003 Finally, in March 2003 the first lineup was ready and Codeon started to play together as a band. It was immediately painfully clear that things weren't going to work out with the current lineup. Members were going in and out until Vesa was found in summer 2003. In August the band entered the studio to record their first demo, DEMO 2003. After receiving mostly very positive reviews of DEMO 2003, Codeon began writing new material and preparing for live shows. 2004 The first shows were played in May 2004 and the band began planning for a new demo release. However, since there were more than just a couple of new songs and everyone wanted them all recorded, the band decided to book some more studio time and record a self-financed EP instead. Before entering the studio the second guitar player was replaced with Asko. The EP was titled ON MY SIDE and winter 2004-2005 was spent looking for a label, using the fresh EP tracks as a demo. 2005 Early 2005 Codeon placed in the top 4 out of 148 other unsigned metal bands in a Finnish band contest and performed at the finals in Finnish Metal Expo '05. The result of this was a shared 2nd position. Most of the year was spent gigging and promoting the self-released EP, until in October 2005 Codeon was signed to DIES IRAE RECORDS. ON MY SIDE was re-released through the label and Codeon immediately began the writing process of a full-length album. At the end of the year, Joni became the new drummer. 2006-2007 The songs for the full-length album were ready in the beginning of 2006, but the seemingly never-ending process of getting it all recorded took two years. Delays after delays for whatever reasons. During this time Codeon only played a few shows while Sami was away doing his job with Necrophagist. In 2007, STAY HEAVY RECORDS acquired DIES IRAE RECORDS, so Codeon now had a new label. 2008 The full-length album, titled SOURCE, will finally see the light of the day. With the upcoming release of SOURCE, Codeon will hit the road again with newfound strength |
