Music. Metal music. Like most of young people of their generation, members of CHECKMATE have gathered round this same passion. A passion which has linked them for so many years. Curiosity, need for understanding the complexity of music, desire of finding the key of this curious assembly made with noise, notes and rhythm, this delicious alchemy, have become a real obsession.
Created in 2003 by three friends from high school fan of Metal music, CHECKMATE took the time to learn, to evolve, to blossom, to develop itself year by year and achieved its final organization in April 2007. The band has no limit and plays a new metal music feed with various influences. The unique style of CHECKMATE was creating in diversity and hybridation, explorating the limits of each genre. Each member has revealed what is sleeping in his deep down. Their music is a miror : it is composed of their own reflections, both mixed in a surprising unity. This subtle mixture makes up the remarkable musical identity of CHECKMATE.
The Band has a key word : “METAL is an ALCHEMY”. Behind the screams, the saturated chords, the dissonance, and the deafening rythms, there is music. Through there creations CHECKMATE questions about the deep signification of this unusual music. Each piece is a part of the answer, because this is what music is all about. In a poetic way, Checkmate develop a new idea of what Metal is through the myth of the Alchemy.
The band has only one project…

...TO MAKE GOLD WITH STEEL
This the text I have written to present my rock band, Checkmate. It is a translation of our press release.
I wanted to post it on Wikipedia last week. I spoke about it to a friend and he said to me : “don’t do it. Your article will be censored and suppressed by Wikipedia’s directors because this kind of text is regared as self promotion...”. This relevant reflection raises a very important question : where is the frontier between information and advertising ? What a legitimate information is ? Wikipedia seems to answered it, but in a very arbitrary way...
