Claustrophobia was founded in 2002 by Thomas and Vincent. At that time it was just an idea to start a band but nobody had any musical experience what so ever. The first idea was that Vincent would play the guitar and Thomas would do the vocals and there for Vincent bought a guitar but due to lack of any experience, the bands existence ended pretty fast. After a year or so Joost offered to play guitar since he had experience playing acoustic. A new challenge was born. He bought Vincent's guitar and began playing metal. The drummer at the time, Erik, bought a drum kit at a local music store and started taking drum lessons. Due to lack of interest he quit lessons and playing and at this point there was no drummer for the band. After 2 years of practice without a drummer or bass player, Vincent started playing the bass guitar and a new drummer by the name of Szandor was found. After playing for a year with him as a full band member, the band improved a lot and started to work on material for a first album. This demo album came out in 2006 called Dechristianisation and was a great success. We are currently working on our second album that will be released late 2008 beginning 2009.
