THE HISTORY OF TROBAR DE MORTE In 1999, Lady Morte began work on a lone project called, Trobar de Morte. This project, involving vocals and keyboards, was principally inspired by the Middle Ages. Some years later, in 2002, Lady Morte joined together with two companions (members of Sathorys), in order to work on a project that was similar in theme and which put Trobar de Morte on hold. The union of the two groups, Trobar de Morte and Sathorys, became Ordo Funebris. When Ordo Funebris disbanded a year later, in September of 2003, Lady Morte began again her work creating music under the name, Trobar de Morte, picking up her initial project, where it had been left off the year before. She wanted a band, which did not rely solely upon one instrumentthe keyboard, and thought that an acoustic guitar would bring much more beauty to the music. Thus, she invited Lenna to play along with her, charging him with the creation of the guitar score. Still, something was missingsomething that would give more force and tenacity to the band, something that would forcefully beat through the music like a heartthe percussion! And so, Taedium was also invited to play, becoming the lord of the drums. In this way, a new band was created, a band where the world of dreams is ruler, where fairies exist, and beautiful, deep forests prompt a return to a non-existent medieval era. There, where the witches dance around the bonfire and share their desires with the night and the stars, where the sea whispers the secret name of the wind, and the moon lulls us to sleep with its sweet lullabyall of this breathes life into Trobar de Morte. In December of 2003, Trobar de Morte began recording what would be their first album, Nocturnal Dance of the Dragonfly. In February 2004, after Taediums departure, two new musicians were incorporated into the the band: Rorschach (percussion) and Lady Eodil (keyboard, percussion and vocals). on the 8th of May of that year, the newly-formed Trobar de Morte performed their first concert in the Sala Mephisto in Barcelona, Spain, where more than 100 fans attended. In June of 2004, the group recorded the first version of La princesa Dolca de Provenca, in order to include it in a compilation of Spanish bands, featuring those with medieval, neo-classical, folk, etc., roots (e.g., My Dear Freaks, etc.). In August 2004, Rorschach left the band, and in his place, Armande joined, as both percussionist and bassist. That same month, Trobar de Morte prepared to record what would be their first long-play CD, Fairydust. This album was recorded at the Axstudios in Barcelona and was finished by mid-September. Lady Morte asked for collaboration in the recording of this album from Arianne (Vocals), who shortly thereafter decided to become a member of the group. At the end of November 2004, a review of the CD and an interview were published in the magazine, Hell Awaits. Fairydust was finally released in December of 2004, in a limited Digipack edition of 1,000 copies.
