Early 2004, Thomas Kalksma and Koen Romeijn from renowned Death/Thrash metal band Detonation came up
with the idea to form a new band. But not just another metal band, the general idea was to form a band in which
Thomas and Koen could experiment with more mellow and laid back music and explore the rock genre as well aside from their usual heavy metal style. The decision to search for a "clean singing"
vocalist was therefore easily made. The first ideas and song structures that were written, were obviously way too melancholic
for typical metal vocals....;)

A short period of time later, the band ran into Floortje Donia, who knew Thomas and Koen from years before. Thomas was aware that Floortje had been singing in a band before, and asked if she was interested in joining the band.
After doing a short try-out session with Floortje, it became obvious that this was going to work for the band.

During the following months, Thomas, Floortje and Koen came together a couple of times to work on basic songstructures and general song ideas. From these sessions, 3 melancholic songs were created and recorded at Thomas' home studio. When producer Hans Pieters heard the material, he insisted that the band recorded those 3 tracks in his proffesional Excess studio. In the meantime the decision was finally made to name the band "Cardamon".

After a while, Thomas and Koen started thier search for a 2nd guitarplayer. The idea came up to ask Michiel Bikker, an amazing guitar player who was already a friend and a bandmember of Koen in another project. Michiel decided to join almost instantly, and now the time had come to find a bass player in order to complete the live line-up.

Bass player Patrick Velis joined the band in the meantime, while Guitarist Bikker left Cardamon already due to personal affairs. In March 2006 the band finally found a suitable 2nd guitarist in the person of Kevin Storm. The band has now set their minds on recording a full-length album in 2006, and doing as many shows as possible to gain experience.
