Founded in October 2001, and signed to Candlelight Records. Debut album was recorded in Abyss Studios in Sweden, March 2003, and was mixed by Peter TÃĪgtgren. The band was well received by the critics with their mix of grooving heavy metal , black metal and death metal . .
This Blackened Death metal band comes from Norway, and the collaboration between guitarist Ole Walaunet (Deride), drummer and ex-member Horgh (ex-Immortal, Hypocrisy), and vocalist Frediablo (ex-Necrophagia, Gorelord, Hemnur), resulted in their critically acclaimed debut album 'Ghouls Of Grandeur'. Ten song tracks of extreme, grinding metal of the highest order, with no middleground. By putting together elements of death metal, black metal, & some old school heavy metal, they managed to create a new style of their own. With 'Ghouls Of Grandeur' Grimfist once again proved that Norway is still one of the top leading countries to produce high quality, extreme metal. With this album Grimfist set the standard for a new level of extreme brutality, as well as the foundation for the future of the band.
Horgh left the band in 2004 ro concentrate on his duties asHypocrisy (band)s drummer. He was replaced by Christian Svendsen aka "Anti Christian" known from bands like Tsjuder and The Cumshots. Robin Eaglestone of Cradle of Filth handeld the bass duties in the band for a little while in 2005/2006. In September of 2005 the bands vocalist Frediablo issued a statement saying he was quitting all of his music projects and bands he was involved in, except for Grimfist. He eventually left Grimfist as well in August 2006, because he got tired of the music scene .
