Biography
Benea Reach was formed on March 22, 2003 by drummer Marco Storm of Selfmindead notoriety along with former band mate and vocalist Ilkka Volume. They were joined by Morten(bass guitar), Tor(Guitar), Erik(Guitar), and Anders(Digital Audio). This original incarnation of the band only lasted for a year and disbanded. During this time a live demo EP had been recorded. In 2004 the pair gathered four new members, most notably Christer Espevoll, formerly of Extol. The band recorded a demo of the song "Pandemonium", which was distributed among different record labels. After receiving good responses the band signed a deal with Tabu Recordings and released their first full length "Monument Bineothan" which got the band nominated in the 35th Annual Spellemannsprisen for the metal category against Enslaved, Gorgoroth, and Keep of Kalessin.[1] In August 2007 the band announced on their website that they would soon be recording their follow-up to "Monument" with acclaimed Danish producer Tue Madsen.[2]
On December 26, 2007 via the band's official Myspace, Benea Reach announced that their forthcoming album will be called "Alleviat" and is set for a February, 2008 Scandinavian release. [3]
On January 22, Benea Reach officially confirmed the departure of Christer Espevoll and Håkon Nakken from the band and announced the addition of Mikael Wildén on bass guitar.
