Biography

The Band was founded in 2001 by M.Helle and T.Kuusela after their previous Black-Metal band was split up. At that point the musical direction wasn't so clear. At first we had lot's of troubles to find the other musicans to the band but eventually we found a proper guitarist and basist to the band(K.Lilja and Thomas Vee(Iconofear). After that we started to make new songs but they weren nothing like Sear is nowdays, it was lot's of slower material. Whith this group we recorded one demo with tony steel(Done) in drums but after that we had again problems to find a permanent drummer.

2003-2004

After a while we Found a new drummer L.Laaksonen and invited him to do a "test" play and he was so good that we took him into the band after one rehersals.
L.Laaksonen was so talented that now i could make these faster and trickier death metal songs But the other members K.Lilja and Thomas Vee didn't like these songs so we kind of splitted up. Basicly this was the start of Sear as you know nowdays. So again we werewithout a bassplayer and second guitarist but we found a proper bassplayer quite fast(M.Nieminen) and then we took another guitarist (Alex) and played one gig, but the second guitarist wasn't a right guy for us so our ways parted.

At the summer 2005 T.Kuusela and M.Nieminen left the band for personal reasons but very soon we found H.Hyytiäinen and T.Landen to replace them.
