CANCELLED: Metropool, Hengelo.
2007-12-05

Show cancelled.

The concert in Metropool, Hengelo on friday december 7th has been cancelled due to the sudden illness of Sander Gommans of After Forever.
In his own words:

"Hi everybody,
Last Friday, on my way to a gig in the Czech Republic, I had a seizure attack in the airplane. No one knows exactly what it was at this point, but it was similar to an epileptic attack and was very scary.
After that, I was taken to an Austrian hospital where I stayed for one day. They did some research and told me to go to the hospital in Holland for more tests to find out exactly what the cause of the episode was.
I’m back in Holland now, and I’ll keep you updated about my condition as soon as I know more.
Since I’m aware of the fact it could be related to my recent burn out, and the doctors confirmed this, I have to take absolute rest the upcoming week.
That means I will not be able to do the gig scheduled for this coming Friday in Hengelo.
Of course, I feel really frustrated, but let’s hope I have more information soon.

Take care!
Sander"

Tickets already purchased will be valid to the date the show will be rescheduled, which will be somwhere in early 2008.

Another recruit.

Dear guest, Sephyros has found another member to join us in our efforts to bring our music to your attention. The violin is his game, Ruben Wijga his name.
A picture you ask, and it will be no long wait. One of Ruben we serve and although a bit late, also the one of Niko so our members page is now up to date.

A New Recruit.

Dear guest, Sephyros has found a new bassplayer, that is, he found us and he is not very new anymore, but still, without further ado, welcome to our band and please forgive us the time it took, Niko van der Hoek.
For a picture you need to be patient, or if the curiousity gets the better of you, just come see us at one of our shows.

New show.

The previously cancelled show at P3, Purmerend, has now been rescheduled to the 28th of September (28-09). We hope to see you there.

A Goodbye, visual update and new music.
2007-07-10

A Goodbye.

Most respected guest, Sephyros has the sad task to inform you that bassplayer Sander Stegeman and Sephyros have parted ways. Due to a new job and his tight schedule, Sander regrets that there are no more hours in a week and has to cut some of the load down to make some time to breathe. Sephyros wishes Sander all the best with all his future projects.

Added more live photographs.

Hedon, Zwolle by Anna Visser

CANCELLED: P3, Purmerend, 22nd of June.
2007-06-21

Show cancelled.

Due to personal circumstances Autumn is not able to play at P3 in Purmerend on the 22nd of June, therefore the gig has been cancelled, and will most probably be done at a later date.



Preach or pray.

Shows added.

Visitors, humbly presented more and more opportunities to visit Sephyros live, by Sephyros, are being noted that two more shows have been added to our showlist.

One in the near future and one further away.
The first is with Autumn in P3 in Purmerend on the 22nd of June, the latter is at Het Bolwerk in Sneek on the 15th of September, at a Gothic Festival with amongst others Gothminister, Asrai, Deadcell and DJ Teknoir.


Using a blender and data lost.
2007-05-22

Mixing started.

All recordings of the first Sephyros studio adventure have been finished. Now the time for mixing has arrived.
The recordings have been done at the D.E.T.O.X Recording Studio of Wietze Halma (Edge of Anger, Gallowfields) in Minnertsga and that is also where the mixing will take place.
Sephyros will try to keep you up to date as much as possible.

Data lost.

Due to a few very unfortunate occurrances of bad luck the Sephyros webspace has been temporarily vaporised.
The site has been restored, but some data (in particular some info at the live pictures section and all guestbook postings) was lost for all eternity.
Sephyros hopes that you bear with us and keep sending photographs and post in our guestbook, as we will try to add more and more content to the site.

New Show, visuals added.
2007-04-30

New show confirmed.

Sephyros is happy to announce that another show has been confirmed, this time being at the Hedon in Zwolle with the well-known band After Forever. Sephyros hopes to see you there on the 29th of June.

Sephyros wallpaper for mobile phones.

During his endless wandering in the virtual worlds, our Chronicler has acquired a wallpaper with the Sephyros logo created for mobile phone, and has taken the time to place it in the Sephyros webspace. Due to the fact that more than one size has been made, it is most likely that the format best suited for your mobile communication device can be found.

New Shows, Recordings started, booking info and archive restructured.
2007-04-16

New shows confirmed.

With the release of the new Autumn album "My New Time", new shows have been added to their list, giving Sephyros the possibility to join them in their renewed effort to conquer the Netherlands.
The first confirmation of Sephyros playing at one of the the Autumn release tour dates takes place at Parkhof in Alkmaar on June the 16th.

Another great honour has befallen Sephyros as they will be playing at the Gothic and Fantasy Beurs in Rijswijk on the 27th of October. When attending be sure to also check out Rapalje who will probably be joined by David Myles, one of the best bagpipeplayers in the Netherlands.

Recordings started.

It has come to the attention of the Chronicler that Sephyros is brewing something behind closed doors. Being a near omnipotent creature the Cronicler has been able to get hold of a few inside pictures of the recording of the drums. They seem to be genuine and confirm that Sephyros really has begun to record some songs.

Booking info.

Continuous expansion of the Sephyros social network has provided them with a very close to source booking possibility.
The Fall booking office
The newly started booking office The Fall has took upon them the burden of placing Sephyros at the right place at the right moment. Let us congratulate our offspring good tidings and prosperity with not only ourselves but also the following interesting bands: Edge of Anger (nl), Miseria (fi) and Prey (nl).

Archive restructured.

Due to the fact Sephyros appears to be a little more than a one night stand, the news archive has experienced a little restructuring in light of the years to come, extra entries have been added to our menu for easier navigation.

The Witch’s Cauldron.

Although it should be one of the things to be nowhere in the vicinity of, it happens to be also the name of a very agreeable place to reside for an evening. With our friends of After The Silence we will be playing in Café De Heksenketel in Roosendaal on April 27th. Let us have a drink that time.

Visuals update.

Photographs of our performance at Popfront in Zwolle have been transmitted to us by Anna Visser and Erik Schepers, deeply thanked by Sephyros.

More pictures.

It seems that there were really people noticing Sephyros at our performance with The Gathering at Iduna, Drachten a while ago, especially Janneke got much attention.
Again Sephyros has been spotted by photographers (Klaas Jan Guchelaar, Jantina de Vries and Anna Visser) and therefore pictures have been added to our live album.

It is always nice to have more friends.

Sephyros spreading through communities like an oilstain, but perhaps a little bit less icky.
Thanks to Anna & Baukje Sephyros is now represented on both Hyves and Vampirefreaks too.
