Biography
[edit | edit source]Syven was created in July 2007, after the vocalist Andy Koski-Semmens moved to Finland and decided to collaborate with the multi-instrumentalist and composer Aslak Tolonen, previously active in several bands, including Nest.[1][2] Tolonen was composing new material when he noticed that his music had become darker and heavier, compared to the Nest's last release, prompting him to create a new band.[3] In 2010, Syven released a demo, which was sent to various labels, and contributed one track, "How Fare the Gods?" to the compilation album Whom the Moon a Nightsong Sings. The following year, the band was signed by Vendlus Records and released its début album, Aikaintaite, on December 6.[4] Exactly a year after, the second album, Corpus Christi, was released. On December 8, 2012, Syven's first live performance took place in Brașov, Romania.[5]
