Izegrim

Izegrim is a Dutch metal band from Zutphen, founded in 1996 by guitarist Jeroen Wechgelaer (ex-Deluzion) and drummer Joep van Leeuwen (ex-Solstice).

Joep invited Kristien Dros (Krisz) to the band as the lead singer, who drew attention by singing with a remarkable grunt.

Guitarist Niels Donninger, who replaced Jeroen van Heuvelen after only a few months, received an offer to play with the band Goddess of Desire and he left Izegrim in 1999.

When in 2008 drummer Joep was replaced by Ivo Maarhuis and the vocals were handed over form Kristien to bassist Marloes Voskuil, the band underwent their last significant metamorphosis.

Due to this, Izegrim started to play more and bigger festivals, on both national and international stages, among which a European tour with the English band Onslaught.
