Ahráyeph is not a new band. Its origins lie way back in the
early summer of 1996, in a band called Crucifire. However, due
to various factors, Crucifire did not last as a band and was
ultimately downsized to a one man project, of which the driving
force was Raf, a self taught musician and producer, who used ot
be in Belgian Black Metal band Ancient Rites and was responsible
for writing the bulk of the songs on their latest album
'Rubicon'.
After finishing the album 'Rvbicon' with Ancient Rites in 2006
and consequently touring with this band for the remainder of the
year Raf decided it was time to move on, or rather, to move back
to doing Ahráyeph fulltime. However, there was a significant
change : Ahrßyeph was no longer a one man project. Throughout
Autumn 2006, several musicians were interested in Ahráyeph and
expressed their wish to join. First to join was Raf's former
guitar student and roadie Damien, who wanted to expand his
musical horizons beyond his metal band Eject . Along with him
came Eject's bass player Alex. Long time friend of Raf, the
musically schooled Criss came aboard to man the keyboard and
various electronics which Ahráyeph uses live. And so they were
set, as they were going to work woth a drum sample player
instead of a real drummer, in the fashion of The Sisters Of
Mercy's Doktor Avalanche. Or so they thought. Because only a
good six weeks into 2007, the one-man-project-now-gone-band
received an offer of drummer Steve, who was very enthusiastic
about Ahráyeph's music. Being a drum phenomenon, the band knew
they couldn't afford to pass up the chance to work with Steve so
they ditched the idea of the drum sample player in favour of a
live drummer. They never looked back and started rehearsing.
This resulted in a well received first concert, opening for UK
Goth Rockers NFD in September 2007.
