Seraph
Seraph was formed august 1996 by Christian Kalns (ex–Dying Angel) and Michael Kainberger (ex–Decorum). In Andreas Haas (Guitar), Dietmar Matzek (Bass guitar and Hannes Vordermayer they soon found proper brothers in arms. Shortly afterwards Dietmar found out that this was not his kind of music and was replaced by Manuel Inhester in september 1996. In March 1997 they had their first gig in the Rochkhouse Salzburg. In the middle of 1997 Seraph parted with Andreas Haas. Further gigs followed. 1998/99 the cd-debut "Strong Impressions" was recorded.
