My Enchantment is a Portuguese Gothic/Black metal band that started in 2000 in Barreiro. In the beginning of its formattion, the band was named Near Death Experience (around 1999), but a change of sound originated a change of name to the actual one. The band has changed its line-up from the first one, having now Paulo Pereira (vocals), João Pepe (guitar), João Feio (guitar), Fernando Barroso (bass), João Henriques (keyboard) and Ricardo Oliveira (drums).The band recorded a live CD in 2002 and the first DEMO CD titled “The Last Season Of Life” in 2003. With the demo recorded and several contacts, the band currently performs various concerts all over Portugal. In 2006, their first album is released, titled “sINpHONIC”. For 2008, My Enchantment are preparing their next album, which should be ready later this year (2008). The album will feature new songs never played, as long as some already known from live performances ("Someone Else's Nightmare", "Beneath Your Wings", "Deep Throat", "The Infection"..) for some people.
