CENTURY was created in August 1995 as Side project of CREMATORY's Drummer Markus Juellich, Gernot Leinert (keyboards) and Michael Rohr (vocals). After a two-year operating phase one in December 1997 with CREMATORY's producer, Gerhard Magin, into the Commusication Tonstudios, they recorded their first demo. The demo received maximum notes from the press and numerous offers from disk companies. Melting melancholic music with ear worm melodies, their sound has its roots in the Gothic Pop and Dark Wave with main influences of the 80's. That mix from Wave/Pop of the 80's, mixed with modern keyboard elements and driving guitars, is the concept of CENTURY. Their lyrics are the processing of very personal feelings of singer Michael Rohr. The texts figure as mirrors of the self experience and are, in conformity with the music, which listeners tune thoughtfully. In October 1998 CENTURY signed the first disk contract with USG record. "The Secret Inside" was taken up and mixed in December 98 and January 99 in the Commusication Tonstudios with producer Gerhard Magin (CREMATORY, Theatre OF Tragedy). As guest musicians it succeeded to engage even Markus Tiedemann as guitarist for the poppier elements, against what Kristian Kohlmannslehner was responsible for the heavy guitars. In April 1999 the Debut album "The Secret Inside" was world-wide published. Around itself the band also toured Germany, as HIM's special guests, to present CENTURY. In the interval May-September of 1999, they supported both Crematory and PARADISE LOST's European tours very successfully. Which originally began Gernot Leinert (keyboard) and Michael with Markus Juellich (Drums), Rohr(Vocals) as a trio with various guest musicians, became, in time, and particularly because of the successful tours, a complete band, with the addition of Kristian Kohlmannslehner (guitar), Guido Holzmann(bass) and Andreas Neuderth (Drums), a full-fledged band. Due to the dissolution of USG records in December 1999, CENTURY were left contract-free and signed in August 2000 with Drakkar Entertaiment. Publication date for the album "Melancholia" was in 19.02.2001. In February 2001 CENTURY functioned as support for CREMATORY on their anniversary route and represented the songs of "Melancholia" impressively on the boards.
