KHIGH starts as a heavy rock project in late 2002 from an intuition of Kris, its founder and songwriter in the role of guitarist and singer. By the end of the same year Kris after a long, life-time activity as multi-instrumentalist and guitarist of hard rock acts between Europe and America, starts gathering a roster of skilled musicians in Los Angeles, CA to give life to his brand new 3-piece-band.

Lifend originated in 1999 from the fusion of the bands Haternal and Mourningstar. The thus born union was baptized My Dark Side. The band started playing covers of Moonspell, Dimmu Borgir, Edge of Sanity and Anathema but soon began to compose their own songs. Lots of appreciated live-shows in local clubs followed as the band continued to accumulate experience. The band felt they had reached a crossroads, so the moniker had to foretell something more direct and incisive: the name Lifend was chosen. In 2001 Lifend's demo "Entwined Emotions" was completed and received a lot of consideration by the Italian and foreign press as well as numerous flattering reviews. ::READ MORE::
