Winterland was created in may 2005 from the passion for music of three actual members of the band : Guillaume (keyboards), Cyrille (guitar) et Adrien (lead vocals). After a long period of searching for a drummer and a bass guitar player, Benoist (bass guitar) and Paulo (drums) finally joined the band in September.
The band began to play its first songs, composed a few months earlier. Every members agreed to look for a second guitar player, in order to give more power to the music. Fabrice thus joined the band in June 2006. His arrival corresponded to the first main Parisian dates of the band with, inter alia, a concert at l'Espace Curial on the 2nd June 2006 with Niflheim and The Last Embrace (200 people), and a participation to the Heavenfest on the 8th July 2006, at la Maroquinerie (450 people).
The evolution of the music and the adhesion of many fans are now inciting the band to to release their first EP self-produced "The Snow Begins To Fall".
In its meteoric rise, Winterland is still writing new songs to diversify its live prestations and to offer new compositions to the fans. Inspired in particular by bands like Nightwish, Heavenly, Raintime or Symphony X, the music of the band is a blend of melodic metal, heavy metal, and symphonic metal. But it keeps a certain personality acquired by the musical diversity of the band's members.
