| The Norwegian band Wild Side started out in late 2005. Formed by drummer Ronni Arntzen and ex-Pagan's Mind guitarist Thorstein Aaby. To complete the line-up, vocalist Paul Martin and bass player Johnny Myren was hired. Myren did not stay in the band for long, and in came a much more competent bassist, Stian Stensrud. In the beginning the band was mainly playing cover tunes, but a couple of original tracks also surfaced. Early 2007 a two track demo featuring Nite Show and Calling Past was recorded. Shortly thereafter Aaby's health got worse, so the band decided to get a stand-in guitarist. Tom Grana, and old friend of Stensrud joined the ranks. This worked out really well, so the plan was to go for a twin guitars attack when Aaby got back. Unfortunately that never happened, cause on July 24th 2007 Thorstein Aaby died of cancer. In November of 2007 the band entered Ronni Le Tekrö's(TNT's legendary guitarist) Studio Studio to record their debut album, Indication. But some problems followed, and the album wasn't released until October of 2008, then only in Scandinavia. Enter 2009 and things looked promising for the band; WildSide recruited a second guitarist, the highly skilled youngster Jon Aarseth, adding an extra dimension to both studio and live performances of the band. But shortly after singer Paul Martin decided to quit due to personal reasons. But WildSide turned the change into something good, and in came the enthusiastic Joachim Berntsen. After some very well received gigs the band went into the studio again to record their second album Speed Devil. This time in Klyve Lydstudio in Skien, Norway. The production was done by the band themselves, while the mixing was done by King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRoque at his Sonic Train Studios in Sweden.....Speed Devil marked a huge step in the right direction. So watch out, folks! | |
