discography before orchid

Nothing released. They were just an average sort of death metal band playing live shows until half the members quit and Mike and Peter rewrote everything.
 
Lee_ B signed them based on a rehearsal tape of Apostle in Triumph that Ihsahn gave to him. They had other tapes and what not, but no demos.
 
Mikael and Ihsahn are both such control freaks I don't know how much it would work... Thought it would be incredible. I consider my writing style a mix of Emperor and Opeth so maybe I am close hehe :)
 
ive never perceived mikael to be a control freak before.he always comes across as really open minded to the rest of the band when i read interviews with the band about there recording and writing process.

why do you think he is a control freak?
 
well maybe not a control freak but both him and isahn are VERY talented and used to writing all the riffs arrangements and lyrics, plus being the headpiece of their band. so it might get a little dicey.

although, if in my wildest dreams, it did happen, that would be freakin cool.
