France (1995 – present)

Belenos was brought to life in Northern France (Nord-Pas-de-Calais) back in 1995 as a band. The original line-up of Belenos consisted of Loïc (guitar, bass, vocals, programming) and Nathalie (guitar, lyrics). The first recording “Notre Amour Eternel” was recorded in May 1996. This demo sold more than 260 copies. The Italian label Polyphemus Records proposed an re-edition of the demo on CD limited to 500 copies. The re-release was released 18 months later, in March 1998.

“Triste Pensee” was recorded in August 1997. This second recording got the attention of a couple of labels but nothing serious became of it. Nathalie left the band at the end of 1997. “Allegorie D’Une Souffrance” was recorded on March 1998. At this time Belenos was composed only by Loïc as the sole master. This demo also remains unreleased.

At the end of 1998 there was an important change, Belenos finally became a complete band with the arrival of Denis Sokowicz on drums, Raphaël Fontaine on guitar and Yann Desaulty on bass. “Allegorie D’Une Souffrance” was re-mixed in December 1998 and released with a colour inlay card which finally revealed the true visual side of Belenos, a new logo designed by Dahl, the usage of Celtic symbols and a coherent and reflective image. The reviews were all excellent and became almost trite! In spring 1999, the underground label Impaler Of Trendies (France) re-edited and released “Triste Pensee” on tape and was limited to 400 copies. This demo was released almost 2 years after it was recorded!
