Mar de Grises

Mar de Grises is a Chilean Death/doom Metal band created in 2000. A good translation of "Mar de Grises" would be "Sea of Grief", even when Grises is the plural form for grey, the color of sorrow in Spanish as it is blue in English.[2]

History

Members of the band met while studying at university and formed a group just with the idea to spend some leisure time.[3]

Inspired in bands like My Dying Bride, In the Woods..., Emperor, Poema Arcanus, Anathema, Samael, Death, Tiamat, At The Gates, and some other somehow away from metal sounds.[4]

Their compositions, while embracing canons from an evolutioned Doom-Metal style, were floating among musical extremes like progresive rock, post-rock, ambient, electronic music, death metal, etc.[5]

Their first demo was recorded in 2002, and was convincing enough to sign an agreement with Finnish company Firebox Records. At that time something practically rare for a rock or metal band from South America, when even the band was not enough known in Chile itself.

With Firebox Records, Mar de Grises edited its first LP titled "The Tatterdemalion Express" in January 2004, where intervened sound engineers that have previously worked with bands like Six Magics and Poema Arcanus. The album got a very good reception and acclaimed by critics, earning titles like "Best Doom Album" and "Best New Band" given by important magazines.[6]

In 2005 Mar de Grises toured for the first time Europe, performing in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and Italy. The tour included festivals like Doom Shall Rise and Belgian Doom Night.

In 2006, singer Marcelo Rodríguez left the band and was replaced by Juan Escobar.

In September 2007 Mar de Grises started to record its second album at the same studio where the first one was completed.

In 2008, Mar de Grises edited its second album, called "Draining the Waterheart", and starts its second European Tour from 16 of April to 12 of May, performing 20 concerts in 9 countries (Portugal, Spain, France, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Belgium, Finland). During that tour, they traveled with bands like Saturnus and Thurisaz, including a short tour in Finland (Helsinki, Turku and Seinajoki) with Ablaze in Hatred. In Finland, Mar de Grises performed at the Firebox Metal Festival, sharing stage with bands like Dark Tranquility, Impaled Nazarene and Enslaved.
