The Kingfisher Sky story begins in 2001, when drummer Ivar de Graaf decided to part ways with Within Temptation, a band who were experiencing their first international breakthrough at the time. Together with classically trained vocalist Judith Rijnveld, Ivar started writing new music without being bound to a specific genre or musical style.
With diverse influences such as Heart. Clannad, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Mike Oldfield, Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree, the writing resulted in a style that isn't easy to categorise, though the term Progressive Myth Rock seems to cover all bases. In short: contrasts - one moment dreamy and atmospheric, then heavy and brutal the next. By the beginning of 2006 the writing efforts were compiled on an impressive eleven track demo, which ultimately led to the duo signing a recording contract with Suburban Records the following October.
Former Orphanage bassist Eric Hoogendoorn, guitarists Daan Janzing and Edo van der Kolk and keyboardist George van Olffen were recruited to make Kingfisher Sky a full band and from May through July of 2007 the band recorded in several studios, under the inspired guidance of producers Jochem Jacobs (Textures) and Bouke Visser of Split Second Sound.
Since january 2008 Maaike Peterse joined Kingfisher Sky on Violoncello. In june 2009 Rene Merkelbach joined as the new keyboardplayer replacing George van Olffen.
Kingfisher Sky's debut CD Hallway Of Dreams is now available in stores in the Benelux, The United States and Japan.

So I just listened to the entire Hallway of Dreams record and I gotta say, it's freaking awesome. Thumbs up, great work! :D I'm promoting it wherever I can.
I do wonder though, do you have an official forum or board somewhere (except for the guestbook on your homepage)? :)
Hey! I've just listening to your songs on your profile because I have to wait for "Hallway of dreams". I've ordered it but it overruns its time... Hope to get it this week! Have a nice week! :) Greetings from Germany
Thanks for the comment! :) You guys are awesome, I just ordered Hallway of Dreams and can't wait to listen to the full record. Hopefully you'll come to Germany too some time in the future? :)
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that a few days ago I finally managed to get your album, Hallway of Dreams (I know I'm very late in getting it) and I can honestly say that it is already becoming one of my favourite ever albums! You guys are epic!
