Biography

There are at least two bands with this name:

1. A Japanese rock band which was formed by vocalist, Hiroshi Kitadani (きただにひろし) in 1999.

2. A Swedish symphonic/melodic metal band formed in Hammerdall in 2005.

Lapis Lazuli (or the band formerly known as Aftermath) is a symphonic metal orchestra which spawns from the north of Sweden.

The story of Lapis Lazuli started in the late summer of 2005, when Timo Hautamäki played with the idea of starting a symphonic metal band while watching a Nightwish DVD. He contacted members from his other projects, namely Henrik Nyman, Jocke Ivarsson and Erik Lindfors. To fulfill the lineup he asked Joey Karlsson and Marie Fjällström to join the band, and they both said yes. The first gig was 2 months later, where they performed their first original song, named “Archangel”.

But after the gig, Erik no longer wanted to be a part of the band. And the replacer was Tobias Rhodin, who had played guitar with Timo and Jocke in their former band Hatecrew. This lineup lasted for about 2 years, filled with several gigs and a demo called “Last Hour”, which was released in 2006. In 2007 the band mainly did cover gigs with Timo on vocals since Marie lived 300 kilometers away from the rest of the band. The last gig with Marie on vocals took place in the summer 2007 in Backe, during an event named “Tribute to Lapis Lazuli”.
