«FAR’N’HIGH»…what an odd name… Originally this band used to rage under the name of « FAHRENHEIT « and was created in 1991 in Charente Maritime.
For four years, this young group has shared its time between playhouses, festivals and concerts in bars to get its songs known and to become familiar with the scenic exercise.
In 1995, FAHRENHEIT, which became for the purpose «FAR’N’HIGH», launched out into the self production of a ten-title-album «I promise you heaven». This CD represented a first achievement and was widely appreciated by the national press when it was released.
«Still alive», a mini five-title-album came to light in 1997, with a new singer and new creations. This album, which was also self produced, was welcomed by the press which encouraged the group and obtained a licence contract with the Brennus/Musea Label.
1999 was the awaited year for the band who released its first album which was distributed in France as well as abroad.
«Attraction of fire» with its 13 titles received good critics in France but also abroad. FAR’N’HIGH had started to find its place on the world melodic metal scene.
Unfortunately, and against what musicians can pretend, time can’t be controlled ! Each one has been worn out to musical work for years and some have preferred to respond to other well known life choices…
Far from pessimism, changes in line-up being quite frequent in the persevering bands, FAR’N’HIGH was not ready to stop at the eve of the new millennium.
Recomposed in 2002 with three new musicians around Stephane, FAR’N’HIGH released in 2005 a new album soberly called «Day off». Merely new in a melodic metal universe, ornamented with the influences of each member of the new band, medley and compromise remaining the philosophy of the group.
