In 1998, Ricardo and Javier de Pablo made up their minds and decided to show their saddest, darkest faces in terms of music, creating AUTUMNAL, together with Andrés Gabaldón, guitarist.
After meeting Miguel Angel Gutierrez, bassist, and making him join the band, they started creating new ideas for new songs until this initial stage was culminated with the recording of their first demo “In my Shell”. This work impressed different worldwide media like www.doom-metal.com and brought autumnal closer to the national underground wave, getting more followers and supporters due both to several shows the band performed in Madrid.
Two years later, Sandra and her violin joined the band. This fact enriched the band, drawing up more melody and sensibility, and, of course, fitting perfectly in Autumnal's inner progress.. As a matter of fact, one can realize that “The Age of the Sin”, the next self-produced and self released demo, shows it all. Julio replacing Andres, joined the band and recorded some guitar tracks for this great work.
During this intense, lively period, Autumnal take part in some of the “DOOMINATION OF EUROPE 2003” Spanish shows, supporting MORGION, MOURNING BELOVETH and THE PROPHECY.
It was in 2004 when Autumnal, again with Andres and Guillermo as cellist (replacing Sandra), had the honour to support ANATHEMA in some of their Spanish shows, a chance that made the band get awesome reviews from the media and outstanding comments from the old fans and the new to come (merchandise = SOLD OUT!!). Just an unanimous, uniform opinion: This band is, shall we say, a hopeful revelation.
A year later, the band decides to create new concepts and ideas for a new work: “GREY UNIVERSE”. Before the release of this record, Andres and Guillermo left the band. This fact made Julio join Autumnal again. Maria Ingelmo, an outstanding, experienced cellist, joined the band as well, replacing Guillermo.
After considering different propositions from both national and foreign labels, Autumnal's “GREY UNIVERSE” is released in December 2006 through Xtreem Music.
The album during the first month since its release obtained a great response from the main Spanish media:
“The Spanish underground scene looks healthy in terms of musical genres, apart from the typical ones, and Autumnal is, shall we say, one of the standard-bearers”
