The band was founded in summer 2002 by Igor Cherepanov (guitars), Natalia Nazarova (keyboards) and Ivan Cherednichenko (vocals).
Their very first two tracks "Vampire to Become" and "Funeral of Last Hope" were recorded in the end 2003 and the last one was released on Wolfsong Compilation CD in year 2004.
The first promo-CD "Sex in Heaven" was recorded at Shaddar Studio (Kiev) in December 2004. It was kept in emotional gothic/doom convention and got good reviews both in underground and official music press such as Metalworks Magazine (Ireland), Legion Magazine (Belarus), Terroraiser Magazine (Ukraine), Neformat Zine and by many Web Portals as Froster Online, The Metallist Portal, Hellraiser, Doom-Metal, Gothic-Nights and many others. The material was presented in music press, radio and TV. This was followed by the interviews with such Web Portals and Zines as UTM Portal, Froster Online, The Metallist Portal, Neformat, Hellraiser, Doom-Metal, etc. The band played many gigs to promote the demo material.
After playing numerous gigs, which also included GRIMFAITH’s 1st show outside Ukraine (Funeral of Last Hope Fest, Moldova), the band decides to record their debut full length album, entitled "Grime". The album is recorded at Morton Studio (Kiev) in years 2005-2006 and contains 10 tracks of climatic gothic/doom metal, with cover version "In Lust" Finnish band POISONBLACK as a bonus track.
Special guest musician on the album: Koen Romeijn – vocalist of the Dutch death/thrash metal band DETONATION and guitarist of the rock/metal band CARDAMON & old school death metal band ENGORGE. Brilliant artwork was provided by famous artist Vjacheslav Nurgeslag (TANGORODREAM, MOURNFUL GUST, VENEREAL MESSIAH, HAEMOPHOBIA).
In year 2008 GRIMFAITH finally signs a record-deal with major label Moon Records from Ukraine for one album. "Grime" is officially released only for the territory of Ukraine on the 15 of May 2008. Now band is looking for a new record company for the European version of “Grime” album, which will be released with alternative CD cover.
