Black Landscapes Bio

1996:
• Formed the DOOM band "CHRISTINE", where I played keyboards and was the main song writer.

• Formed my 1st BLACK METAL band and started jamming with few local musicians... I wrote a lot of material this year, some of it later to appear on the "BLACK LANSCAPES" demo.

1997:
• Joined "LEHAVOTH" (playing BLACK METAL back then) as a keyboard player, wrote about 6/7 songs with them.

•"CHRISTINE" preformed twice.

1998:
• Joined the HARDCORE/THRASH band "ENDLESSIGHS" as a guitarist by DANIEL BREHER (which will later produce BLACK LANSCAPES' demo and will become HAYEHUDIM's guitarist).

• My 1st and last show with "LEHAVOTH" at the "DEEP".
•"CHRISTINE" splits.

1999:
• "ENDLESSIGHS" preformed a lot and recorded a 7 song demo, but by the end of the year we parted ways, since the band members lost their interest in the musical style and since our keyboard player URI BEN-ELI committed suicide.

2000:
• I write songs for the BLACK LANDSCAPES DEMO.

2001:
• After auditioning some local players for "BLACK LANDSCAPES" (who didn't fit), I decided to record the "BLACK LANDSCAPES" demo by myself. Recordings took 4 months, but because of personal problems (which revolved around my military services) I stopped working on it.

2002:
• Released from the army.

• Joined the DEATH METAL band "SERENITY", formed another BLACK METAL BAND called: "THORONEM". I played guitar in both.
2003:
• After failing to overcome technical problems on the BLACK LANSCAPES demo I recorded it 3 times that year.

• "THORONEM" & "SERENITY" join forces into one band called: "RUSTING SOULS".

2004:
• Released the "BLACK LANDSCAPES" demo - "Shred them for they might escape!!!" after making some final touches to the 1st recording.

• "LEHAVOTH" splits up, YUVAL TALMOR & GAL COHEN continued working under the same title ("LEHAVOTH") and started looking for other players.

• Joined the army which was a turning point in my life. It made me depressed, and that mood prevented me from being musically active for a few months.
