Biography
Leiden rised from the ashes of In Lupus Pacis in May 2000 with Bérangre (female leading vocals), Wilfried (grunts, guitar, programation), Ludo (guitar) and David (bass).
Songs In The Key Of Dark, the first demo, came out only a month after, in June of the same year. This first release spreads Leiden's musical disease all over the underground metal and the first echoes and reviews are extremely good.
Very soon after this demo, the band releases its first self-financed E.P. L'Aube Spirituelle (2001), in collaboration with Adipocere Records for a national distribution in France.
Growing stronger and stronger, Leiden is becoming an active part of the famous Antistatic collective along with bands such as Psykup, Sidilarsen, Delicatessen and Mary Slut.
The first and only change of line-up came Shoda replacing David (bass)
In 2002 Leiden will play old and new material on several stages and will soon begin the work on its first long effort.
With the coming of Mat (drums) the line-up is now complete and Leiden ready to record Empty, released in 2003 on Adipocere Records in France and also all over Europe. The success of this album, both of fans and medias, opened a lot of doors to Leiden: the band signed a new deal with Jerkov Musiques (for both touring and next record) and embarks on its first and very successful national tour.
The high acclaimed Dualite, second effort of Leiden, came out in France in October 2005 and shows a more mature and professional band than before. With this new album, the band obtained its best reviews so far in all French and European press.
Leiden disbanded in July 2007 due to members wishing to explore new musical domains.
