Displeased, 2007.
In early middle ages, when there were few people that could read, troubadours travelled through the European lands to play for the people and tell stories about kings, local heroes, good and evil, fairytales and all things that would give the people both amusement and in a certain way, faith.
One of the stories from that time, is the story of the Pagan Witches Ensemble Grimm, an elite group of nature spirit occultists that ruled over a small area of land in the Southern Netherlands. They were said to be the last resisting pagan druids, finally prosecuted and burned by the inquisitors of the Vatican. How the story exactly goes, is unknown, because the only found written documents about them, were burned or partly destroyed by rats or they simply rotted away.
But, what never faded away, was the idea of their existence and the strong spiritual force they left behind…….
In the second half of the 19th century, however, some pictures of extraordinary, gentlemen with supernatural forces were made. They ware said to be reincarnations of the Grimm-gentlemen. But, also this story tragically ends, because, before they fully could regain their forces and set up a revolting alliance against the ruling Christian society, they were brutally executed and set as an example for other possible revolutionists.
But, finally in the year 2007 they are back, stronger than ever, reunited in a trinity based coven of unholy heavy metal troubadours, pioneers of the underworld, wizards of the black arts, called Grimm. Their main goal: revenge!
With their music, they curse al the next generations of the inquisitors that took both their lives, their powers and the folk spirit away from their pagan inheritants. The music of Grimm is a unique mix of haunting medieval folklore music and heavy metal, with dark poetry as lyrics, witchcraft in a certain way; casting spells, telling stories about the strength of the dark side of people, revenge and a gateway to spiritual freedom.
