The Spektrum arose in October 2005 in Leiria, Portugal, when a group of friends with similar musical influences formed the band. The original members of the band were Dyrion – Vocals, Engraved - Guitars, Abigor - Guitars, Zouzahammen - Bass, and Lulu - Drums.
The band started to play Trash Metal, but later, in January 2006, unsatisfied with their music, the band decided to change their style. Samnu joined in as the keyboarder and the band started composing new stuff, a more melodic metal. Later in March, the band qualified for a Portuguese Metal Band contest, 800 Portuguese metal bands participated and only 30 were qualified. In May, Lulu left the band for personal reasons, Samnu left the keyboard and started playing drums, Abigor started playing both guitar and keys. The Spektrum achieved the final line-up, Dyrion – Vocals, Engraved – Guitars, Zouzahammen – Bass, Abigor – Keys and Guitars and Samnu – Drums.
In July 2006, with the new line-up, the band felt that it was time to record a “demo”. They entered the studio at Saint Studios and recorded “Marching Through The Darkness”. “Marching Through The Darkness” was released in October 2006 and received positive critiques at the worldwide underground metal scene.
The Spektrum started playing around the country including at some important Portuguese Festivals and even had some gigs in Spain.
In the summer of 2007, the band started pre-producing the debut album, “Daemonicus Awakening” in their own studio and started recording their debut album at the Medusa Lab Studios with producer Dikk (WithBreed) and Ares (WitchBreed) assisting. The album was finished in Germany by the hands of Waldemar Sorychta (Lacuna Coil, Moonspell, Tiamat, etc etc)
Depois de maquete Marching Trough The Darkness (Outubro de 2006), e das boas criticas recebidas, os The Spektrum preparam-se para começar a gravar o primeiro album de originais, que se ira chamar "Daemonicus Hamadryad", ainda sem data de saida prevista. A banda irá trabalhar nos Medusa Lab Studios com o produtor Ares (ex-Moonspell, ex-Deepskin, Witchbreed) Ate la, poderam manter-se "actualizados" em www.myspace.com/thespektrum
