The Wounded


The Wounded is a Dutch rock band, hailing from Emmen in the province of Drenthe, in the north of the Netherlands.

History

In 2000, The Wounded released their debut, called, The Art of Grief. It was followed, in March 2002, by their second album titled, Monument. Shortly after the release of this album, The Wounded changed their line-up. The only two original members, bass player Andy Haandrikman and singer-guitarist Marco van der Velde, searched for new musicians. After auditioning several musicians, they found a new drummer, lead-guitar player and synth-player: Alwin Schnoing, Sander Wessels and Eduard Dresscher. The Monument album was promoted with a high number of performances with which the band played in most parts of the Netherlands. They also played very successful gigs in other countries such as Belgium and Germany. In the beginning of 2003, The Wounded started to work on their new album and released their third album Atlantic early 2004 on Coldblood Industries' sub-label, Ebony Tears. In August 2016 The Wounded announced the completion of their new album Sunset which was released October 2016, it contained nine songs with a running time of over one hour. The artwork for the sunset album was made by Regina Boersma who also made the artwork for Monument and Atlantic.
