Fyeld managed to get a solid following among open-minded metal fans in their homeland Bulgaria in no time. Formed in 1998 by vocalist Bobz and drummer Dodo, they started searching for a place for a different kind of music under the sun, and in 1999, in a line-up featuring just a guitarist, a bass player and a drummer, the guys recorded their first five-song demo.

Little by little the band began playing live whenever and wherever it was possible, in various bigger and smaller local clubs, regularly appearing on local radio and TV music shows, too. In 2001 Fyeld recorded a demo consisting of nine songs, plus four older cuts as bonus tracks. It quickly turned into a total hit in the underground. A few months later two more musicians were recruited – second guitar player Vlado, and a Finnish guy called Timo Puukko to take care of samples and programming. The sound got harder, videos for the songs “TKO” and “I Scream” were shot, the quintet was chosen to open the shows of Slayer, Halford and Anthrax in Sofia, meanwhile working on their debut album.

Recorded at Stain Studio in Sofia, Bulgaria, and released in the spring of 2003 by the local label Joker Media, Fyeld’s self-titled debut offers over 53 catchy minutes of playing time segmented to 12 tracks and... Yes, we could state that these five talented musicians have created probably the best Bulgarian so-called ""nu-metal"" sound-bomb so far. Generally speaking, ""Fyeld"" should be strongly recommended to those of you who believe they would adore a pretty much in-their-own-way done mighty sound-breed of Machine Head meets Skinlab meets Linkin Park meets Korn meets Stone Sour... In other words, get ready for tight down-tuned guitars, diverse and smashing mid-tempo rhythm and a slight, well-fitting electro-background crashing into the wall of Bobz's impressive Jekyll-and-Hyde type of vocals. Add to it the crystal-clear sound, as well as the tons of various ideas and melody-curves incorporated in the songs' structure, and you'll surely agree that we simply cannot define the style of Fyeld’s music as ordinary nu-metal or crossover…

Right now the guys are working on brand-new material destined to find its place in Fyeld's second full-length studio offering. It shall be recorded at Stain Studio in the summer of 2006...
