Serenity Trace started out as BOONDOCK SAINTS in late 2000, inspired by the movie. In 2006, the name was trademarked by the makers of the movie and it had to be changed. They chose to brand themselves as SERENITY TRACE
SERENITY TRACE present the NEW LEVEL OF HATE METAL in the not so new Millennia!
SERENITY TRACE Started out as a two piece studio project in late 2000 with the two singers M and O. they adopted the name Boondock Saints from the movie and made a DIY album called "The Diary of a Dying Society...". this led to several gigs as an industrial metal hip hop outfit with massive underground success. The founding members of what was then known as Boondock Saints went different ways about a year after "The Diary of a Dying Society..." was released to educate themselves.
In 2004 they returned to Norway from different parts of the world and decided to form the band in a new and even more aggressive outfit. They contacted old friends and bandmates Mr Brown, St.B. and Jay to form the new Boondock Saints. DJ-St.E joined shortly after and things started to go crazy. They played their first gig as a full band in the autumn of 2005.
In 2006 the name Boondock Saints was trademarked and could no longer be used. They changed their name to Serenity Trace and the terror continues!
We play live. So far, mostly around Norway but come on world, WE'RE READY FOR YA!
