Winterland was created in may 2005 from the passion for music of three members of the band : Guillaume (keyboards), Cyrille (guitar) et Adrien (lead vocals). After a long period of searching for a drummer and a bass guitar player, Benoist (bass guitar) and Paulo (drums) finally joined the band in September.
The band began to play its first songs which were composed a few months earlier. Every member agreed to look for a second guitar player, in order to give more power and substance to the music. Fabrice therefore joined the band in June 2006. His arrival corresponded to the first main Parisian date for the band with, inter alia, a concert at l'Espace Curial on the 2nd June 2006 with Niflheim and The Last Embrace (200 people), and presence at Heavenfest on the 8th July 2006, at la Maroquinerie (450 people).
The evolution of Winterland’s music and the cohesion of our many fans incited the group to begin producing their first EP, "The Snow Begin To Fall" in early 2007. The group moved onto the concert scene, notably with sixth place at Fallenfest, a Parisian musical contest bringing over 500 bands together, and allowing many dates at prestigious venues such as "Le Trabendo" and "La Cigale". Equally, it should be noted that the group has supported two Danish bands during their European tours, Mercenary and Mnemic, as well as several concerts outside of Paris.
Rejoined by two new members, Sylvain and Pedro, following the departure of Cyrille and Ben, Winterland concentrated on creating new pieces of music in preparation for their first album. Different musical desires came to life within the group and leaded unfortunately to the departure of Paulo and Pedro. Sylvain thus decided to move to bass while two new musicians, Olivier (guitar) and Fabio (drums) settled into the group. Having recorded four songs at Wildpath Studios, in order to gain more adequate promotional support, the group is currently preparing for Raismesfest 2008 where it will rub shoulders with renowned bands such as Gammaray or even Korpiklaani.
Inspired in particular by bands like In Flames, Mercenary, Raintime or Edguy, the music of the band is a blend of melodic metal, death metal, and symphonic metal. But it keeps a certain personality acquired by the musical diversity of the band's members.
