The idea of starting the band came to Seth [guitars] and Celestial [bass]
in the summer of 1999. The musical direction, chosen by them was
black atmospheric metal, combined with northern folklore elements.
Deeply influenced by scandinavian scene, they were
searching for soulmates and in the beginning of 2000 the original line-up
was completed. The band called AUTUMN PALACE was born.
Through the next two years AUTUMN PALACE write new material
and record one-song demo "In the Reign of Everfrost". The band
sounding of those days was very dark, misty and melancholic, filled up
with cold atmospheres . Due to the perennial line-up
changing, the band disabled to perform live until the end of 2001,
when the line-up finally stabilizes and consisted of Z.Winter[vocals]
Seth [guitars] ,Volkh [guitars], Celestial [bass], Morgenrot [keys] and
Hesperus [drums].
Shortly after these changes, the band came up with new ideas and
more progressive sound . AUTUMN PALACE renamed
itself into WINTERHORDE and began playing more aggressive
either melodic extreme metal, but with the same atmosphere as before.
On 23 march 2002 WINTERHORDE played their first gig ever.
2002 - 2003 WINTERHORDE played many successful shows with
local and foreign acts as well, increasing the amount of fans every show.
One of the shows was recorded and self-released as a "Live" demo.
Just 40 copies of "Live" as a much limited edition were made and totaly
sold out in one evening.
2003 - 2004 WINTERHORDE entered the Fuzzy Logic studio and
recorded their first official 4-track demo "In Traditions of Winter".
After release of the demo the band got a plenty of good reviews and
started searching for a label.
In the beginning of 2004 Lex replaces Volkh on guitars.
In the new line-up WINTERHORDE play several shows as headliners
and perform with such killers as Dark Funeral and Melechesh,
thus led the guys to the top of Israeli metal scene.
In the beginning of 2006 WINTERHORDE recorded their debut album "Nebula"
with israeli producer Ami Haronyan.
The release of "Nebula", produced by greek label "Burning Star" was followed by "Bringing the Cold" tour across Europe along with finish metalheads Catamenia .
On december of 2007 Seth, guitarist, composer and co-founder of the band, relocates to Canada and leaves WINTERHORDE . Barakk replaces him shortly.
On april 2008 Z.Winter, the original singer was fired due to professional reasons.Horeph becomes a new WINTERHORDE frontman bringing new elements of vocals to the band.The band begins working on the second album and avoids playing live.
On november 2008, WINTERHORDE enters the studio with german producer V.Santura (Dark Fortress, Obscura,Metalium,Farsot) to record a new album titled "Underwatermoon"
