Taranis was founded by me in 1999.

It started as a one man band, but after I while I realized that I need somebody for the raw vocals so that I can develop my clear voice. It was time for Erik to join the band. He’s raw voice fits the music very well and he also had a lot of good ideas.

In 2000, after months of composing we finished 6 songs in about a half an hour, so we decided to release a demo tape in 200 copies (In Days Of Yore).

Taranis split up after the demo, and there are no plans to continue. However, I have some symphonic metal ideas and song sketches, there might be a release sometime.
