Band biography

Drummer Martin Kilic met Kim Mathiesen on a local nightclub in Herning in 2004. Martin asked Kim to be a part of a new band, mainly focusing on melodic death metal. Kim was thrilled with the proposal and joined in, Rageborne was a reality. Soon thereafter they began planning the next steps. A bass player and a guitarist were needed. Kim had some contacts to a couple of guys who he believed would fit in. Guitarist, Thomas Sorensen was asked to join the band, which he did, and soon thereafter bass player Casper Poulsen joined in too for a couple of sessions.

Everything went okay with the first rehearsing hours, but Thomas soon got an offer from Mevâdio and joined them. Now he was playing in Mevâdio at full time and was not able to take part in Rageborne. Shortly after Casper Poulsen announced that he was on his way to Aarhus to study, and couldn`t find the time to continue either.

This obviously wasn`t good news for a brand new band, but Martin and Kim stuck together, and decided to continue the band on their own again - now searching for new people as well as creating completely new material.

Writing the new material was a slow process with only two members in the band and lots of people came along during the half-year between the absence of Thomas and the coming of the current guitarist, Per. Rageborne owes a big thanks to Ole "Døe"" (guitar) and Mikkel (bass) for spending some time with them while they were looking for the right replacements for Thomas and Casper.

Per Jensen came along, only bringing his guitar and great expectations. He was overwhelmed at first; listening to the material Kim and Martin had created during the half year on their own. He had the enthusiasm and chemistry, which was necessary to be a part of Rageborne, and he was therefore asked to join the band.

Per is a sound engineer (live and studio), and was part owner of Imperiet and Empire Recording Studios in Herning together with A. Guldborg. Per offered a small corner in his studio where the new band could rehearse and have the gear for themselves. They shortly hereafter started a great team working effort, making the material for the first 4 numbers complete.

After some time, looking for a gifted vocalist and a talented bass player, we finally stumbled upon vocalist and current front figure, Jesper and the bass player in Kim`s former band and the ex-bass player in 32nd Chamber, Michael.

This was the line-up until 2007, when the band decided to stop cooperating with Kim Mathiesen due to musical disagreements, and other personal issues. We wish you the best for the future Kim.

The band was looking for another guitarist - and actually found one the same week. His name is "Peter Fredlund" (ex-Paydown, ex-Megatone). Fredlund was thrilled with the music, and told Rageborne, that he always wanted to play something like that. The deal was six try-out sessions in the studio, before the band could decide whether or not this was the right constellation. In that period, the band was surprised with Fredlunds guitar solo skills, and his ability to pick up the old tracks, and it did not take the band to much time to get convinced to keep him.

This was the constellation until late 2007, when Fredlund suddenly decided to part ways with the band after a well done gig on The Rock in Copenhagen, explaining to the band, that he didn't feel his own ambitions matched the ambitions of the rest of the band, and he wished to return to his normal life too. This was quite a blow - nevertheless the band was left without an option to proceed to work with him.

Once again Rageborne was left without a lead axe, and played with several hopeful guys during the auditions , this time making sure the new guy's ambitions was equally matched the ambitions of the band. It wasn't until the middle of february 2008, when they would finally and officially announce a new lead guitarist, Kenneth Avnsted (ex-Megatone - ring any bells?). Kenneth was totally up for the task and fitted right in! He shared their ambitions, had the right chemistry and the nescessary persistence it takes for a team to reach the next level. Oh, and did I mention he is an incredible guitarist and a great songwriter - and that he sings too? :-O

Is Rageborne complete? - We God damn hope so!

Quick overview:
