Thousand Lakes

About Thousand Lakes

The Heavy Metal band Thousand Lakes was formed in October 1996 by the following line-up: Steve Melsen (guitar), Phil Kessel (drums), Corneille Hoffmann (guitar), Daniel Fastro (bass), Armand Thies (vocals). The band itself already exists since 1995. In February ’97 Armand was replaced by Rony Willems, who henceforth is responsible for the lyrics which express his emotions and fantasies. After several concerts they participated at the music contest "Concours de Selection" which took place on the 2nd May ’98 in Dudelange. Their musical as good as their stage performance convinced the jury, so they made it to the first place. Due to this achievement they opened the "Fete de la Musique" festival on the 13th of June ’98 in Dudelange. On June 20th 1998 appeared their first 4-track CD titled "Sphere". In March ’99 Daniel Fastro left the band. Fortunately an immediate substitute was found in Frank Meysenburg. In May ’99 they won the title of best newcomer band ’98 in the magazine "dip". On August 14th 2003 their second CD, an album called “Gardens Of Shirkadath” was released. In February 2004 Claude Ewert took over the bass guitar. Enclave Pr
