Founded in southern
Luxembourg in late 1996, LE GRAND GUIGNOL (back
then acting under the name of Vindsval) release a
first raw demo in 1997.
Soon they discover their passion for outré
compositions, preserving the harshness of extreme
metal, yet adding wickedly catchy tunes,
symptomizing in deep-felt emotions and thus
creating gloomy atmospheres, which the band refers
to as "grotesque metal".
The debut-album "Imperium Grotesque", which was
originally intended as another demo, was recorded
and released in 1999 and was re-released with a
different artwork in the following year by Skaldic
Art Productions.
After a very long recording-session and
reconsidering both musical and lyrical concepts,
coherence had Vindsval change their name into LE
GRAND GUIGNOL at the dusk of 2006.
In 2007, Maddening Media prepares the stage for LE
GRAND GUIGNOL, who hereby unleash upon the
audience a chef d 'oeuvre of yet unheard grandeur
and grotesque sublimity, carrying the haunting
name of "The Great Maddening".
Just like their namesake (a french genre-theatre
who opened its doors at the blade-crossing of the
19th and 20th century), LE GRAND GUIGNOL rise the
curtain and let the public partake in their
enrapturing tales of madness. |
