It all
started back August/2003, when Ghassan met up
with Ahmed in Rotana's music store, where Ahmed
works. It was clear they shared an appreciation
of metal music in general and doom in
particular, they met few times later ,discussed
the local metal scene in Saudi Arabia ''which is
unknown widely'', and the possibility of having
a mid success band, they wanted to start
something but due to circumstances they did not
. October/2004, in a moment of pure impulse
Ahmed called Ghassan it seemed completely out of
the blue since the two have not spoken nor met
in such a long time . Immediately Ahmed started
off by proposing the idea of starting a band
again, they met up a few hours later Not wasting
anytime and got down to working on the bands
theme and headlines ,their determination was
visible. Ahmed assigned song writer/lead vocal.
Ghassan lead Guitarist. Ghassan suggested
(Emad-Wasted land) as a drummer. The serious
work started with a song entitled (The house of
gloomy Anna), rehearsing sessions lasted for
weeks ,passionate and eager they began working
on another track (Which was Un-named) during
this time they were looking for a name to suit
the band's attitude, they came up with a few
names such as (Weeping Winter, Dark Vision) But
it felt unoriginal. Little they knew their name
was already there ''Grieving Age'' it was picked
up from their own music lyrics the three agreed.
While working on their single, they met
Abdullah, They liked the way he played the piano
and approached him with their band's idea in a
few days he joined playing on the keyboards.
Ghassan again made a suggestion but this time
for a second guitarist, he thought who better
for the job than Ayman(wasted land) ,He accepted
and was welcomed. For some reason they neglected
the two first songs, and chose to focus on their
new one, titled (My River). Looking to record
they went to Yazid-drummer of Panjiah ''another
Local band'' , Along with Khalid(ex-Panjiah's
guitarist)which worked on the song as a sound
engineer/producer, It was complete during one
month end of Feb/2005. Re-titled under the name
of (My Hopeless River) By that time Diya came
from Al-Dhahran and joined the band as a rhythm
guitarist/violinist, while Ayman held the bass
position. My hopeless River received great
reviews from the metal fans in Saudi Arabia,
Egypt and Lebanon. Working on their second
project entitled (Have I sinned); they got back
to their doom/death metal roots which were
clearly their influenced by ''My Dying Bride and
Old Anathema''. Diya's impression was so obvious
on this song, He did an astonishing job. The
song was recorded as a live demo. Well known by
now in the local metal scene the band got an
invitation to perform in the SA Metal gig they
couldn't make it according to the band ''they
didn't have time'', The line up has been settled
for a while till they started working on the
third track previously entitled, (A nightmare
within a nightmare) And recently (Nocturnal
realm of desolation), Mohammed Shata joined the
band as a bassist after Aymans deparute to focus
more on Wasted Land,Mohammed lasted for a short
time then he left because some personal problems
and Ayman came back again.
