‘We Are The Damned’ was formed in September 2007 in Lisbon, Portugal by Ricardo Correia and Paulo Lafaia.
Two old friends that decided to create a project where they could embrace all their favorite bands and blend them into their own creative musical convictions.
After hearing about this new band on the scene, Ragingplanet (the leading indie label in Portuguese extreme music) immediately signed the band.
In October 2007, the band was ready to go into the studio for a twelve day recording session.
Generator Music in Assafora, Portugal was the place the band chose to record in, and with the help of Danish veteran producer Palle Schultz in November 2007, ‘We Are The Damned’ give birth to their debut album entitled "The Shape Of Hell To Come", mixed and mastered at Tweetyhood Studio In Aarhus, Denmark by Palle Schultz.
By January 2008 post recording of their debut album ‘We Are The Damned’ quickly prepared for their upcoming live shows and after three months relentless rehearsing the band was ready to perform live.
"The Shape Of Hell To Come" was released in March 2008.
Since then ‘We Are The Damned’ have performed at a variety of shows in their native Portugal, earning many important support slots for bands such as Napalm Death, Suffocation, Cancer Bats, Arch Enemy, Misery Index, Marduk, Municipal Waste, Anathema, Moonspell, Sinister and others, as well as a sold out U.K Tour with British metallers INME and a Swedish Tour with friends Grace Will Fall.
"The Shape Of Hell To Come" quickly caught the attention of both press and public alike, now being pushed further by the band’s relentlessly wild live performances, sheer conviction and determination to leave a permanent mark in extreme music.
The band had recently recorded a new single from the classic Celtic Frost song INTO THE CRYPT OF RAYS, with the new and revamped line up, previewing a great second full-lenght in January 2010 to be recorded, the song was produced by Fernando Matias known for his work with FEVER.
The band is currently writing their second full-lenght album confirmed to be recorded with Swedish producer and friend Ulf Blomberg, known for his work with bands such as Inevitable End, End Of All, Exhale and Grace.Will.Fall, released date is set for March 2010 on Ragingplanet, to be continued......
