CLOUDSCAPE was formed in 2001 by members Mike Andersson
(Lead Vocals), Bjorn Eliasson (Guitars), Patrik Svard
(Guitars), Haynes Pherson (Bass) and Roger Landin (Drums).
Several demos was recorded and sent out to magazines,
webzines and recordlabels. CLOUDSCAPE received great
feedback on the underground scene but, it wasn´t
until late 2002 when CLOUDSCAPE inked a management deal
with Production & management company ROASTINGHOUSE
serious things started to happen. ROASTINGHOUSE have
daily contacts with many respected record labels around
the world so, thanx to their contacts and knowledge
CLOUDSCAPE managed to land a deal with German record
label METAL HEAVEN and Japanese label MARQUEE/AVALON
after receiving lots of proposals from different record
labels.
CLOUDSCAPE entered the prestigious ROASTINGHOUSE studios
in order to record their self titled debut album in
April 2004 produced by Anders “Theo” Theander
(Pain Of Salvation, Allen/Lande Project, Planet Alliance)
and Pontus Lindmark (Allen/Lande Project, Planet Alliance).
The album was completely finished during summer of 2004
and in mid December 2004 it was released all over Asia
through MARQUEE/AVALON and in late January 2005 it was
released all over Europe through METAL HEAVEN. After
celebrating their first official release at THE TIVOLI
in Helsingborg CLOUDSCAPE did several live shows in
Sweden to promote their debut album and in October 2005
they did their first live show outside of their home
country Sweden at PROGPOWER EUROPE in The Netherlands.
The feedback and response turned out amazing.
In late December 2005 CLOUDSCAPE entered the ROASTINGHOUSE
studio again in order to record their second album entitled
CRIMSON SKIES. CRIMSON SKIES was produced by Pontus
Lindmark and co-produced by Anders “Theo”
Theander. CRIMSON SKIES was completely finished in mid
March and was released through METAL HEAVEN all over
Europe on June 3. CLOUDSCAPE also signed a licensing
deal with U.S label NIGHTMARE RECORDS so, CRIMSON SKIES
was released in the U.S on July 4. Just like the debut
CRIMSON SKIES recieved fantastic feedback from fans
and media. On June 9, 2006 CLOUDSCAPE performed at the
big, well respected SWEDEN ROCK FESTIVAL. CLOUDSCAPE
is a quite new band but, have already become very respected
on the metal scene.
Right now CLOUDSCAPE is in contact with different booking
agencys in order to increase the opportunities of performing
live and get tours organized. In March 2007 CLOUDSCAPE
will go to the UK in order to perform at PROGPOWER UK.
