Crepuscle - Biography
Biography
Crepuscle- (pronounced with a soft "sc" like in scent) variant of crepuscule: the time of day immediately following sunset
Crepuscle first came to fruition in the spring of 2006 under the name Draconian Winter in Redwood City, California. The members during that era, aged 14-18, began writing rudimentary songs while trying to find their sound. The intent was always to write honest metal that they themselves wanted to listen to. As a result, the Silent Reverie EP was self released along with a homemade music video for Haunting Darkness (later rewritten as Shattered Sanctum). They played many shows over the years, experienced various hiatuses and set backs, and went through drastic lineup changes.
Through much trial and error, founding member Eligio Tapia gradually honed in on what would become the sound of Crepuscle. The lineup changed so much over time until Eligio was the only founding member that remained. He decided that the Draconian Winter title no longer seemed appropriate. It was time for a new chapter so the remaining members of the band all agreed that the best way to do that would be by changing the name. In order to pay tribute to the previous era, it was decided that the debut album would be called Draconian Winter.
The recording process for their debut album began in the autumn of 2010. The songs written during the Draconian Winter era were refined and, in some cases, rewritten to showcase the more mature sound that had been developed. Crepuscle turned to Ryan Alvarado to produce the album. Over the next 4 years, the band and Ryan worked tirelessly on the album. Despite scheduling conflicts, technical difficulties, and personal struggles, everyone forged ahead with a common goal: to create the best album they possibly could. Unwilling to compromise until this goal was achieved, many release dates came and went until the band promised it would be out until it was ready.
Backed by Gavin DeVaughn on bass, Aaron Robitsch on Keyboards, Jb Schuler on drums, and Cameron Stucky on guitar, Eligio and the rest of Crepuscle are ready to spread their music to every corner of the world. Their debut album "Draconian Winter" showcases influences from various genres. From enchanting keyboard soundscapes to crushing riffs and infectious melodies, Crepuscle's music has something for everyone.
