Additional Notes:
Originally formed under the name of Mandatory back in 90, a band called Emerald was given birth after Johnny (ex Decameron, Oderu) and Anders (ex Necrofeast) gathered forces and skipped the gore themes formerly approached in their prior lyrics to a more thoughtful mystical concept. Eventually, Robert (ex-Oderu) added the epic feeling with his keyboards in 94. Then, the name of Grief of Emerald became more fitting to the bands improved style.
