Over Mangrove

Mangrove is ontstaan in 1995 toen schoolvrienden Roland van der Horst (gitaar en zang) en Joost Hagemeijer (drums en keyboards) de handen ineen sloegen en hun eigen composities begonnen te schrijven. In '98 brachten ze het album "Cold World" uit als project getiteld Brainstorm.

Twee jaar later voegde zanger Eric Holdtman zich bij Roland en Joost, maar vertrok in 2001 helaas vanwege persoonlijke omstandigheden. Ondertussen had Mangrove de eerste demo-CD uitgebracht getiteld "Massive Hollowness" met basgitarist Pieter Drost. Toetspartijen werden gespeeld door Joost Hagemeijer en Hans van der Linden. Kort na de opnamesessies voegde Chris Jonker zich bij Mangrove als de nieuwe vaste toetsenist.

In deze bezetting werden tot 2011 zes studio en live albums gereleased. Daarna volgden wat wisselingen in de band. Drummer Remco Engels ging op de stoel van Joost Hagemeijer zitten. Maar na enkele jaren kwam Lex Bekkernens in 2016 als drummer bij de band. In die periode werd geschreven aan een nieuw album die pas in 2023 zou worden gereleased.

In 2021 verliet Chris Jonker de band. In 2022 is Ebert Zwart als nieuwe toetsenist / zanger bij Mangrove gekomen.

‘…I'm left speechless after hearing this musical rollercoaster. And at the start of 2024 it is easy to say that Bridge To Fiction belongs to the musical highlights of 2024! Highly recommended. Album favourites Bridge To Fiction and A Call To Arms…’ (BackgroundMagazine)

‘…A Call to Arms is mainly symphonic and sometimes even verges on film music. In addition to Van der Horst's pleasant guitar contribution, his keyboard parts and orchestration also deserve high praise...' (Progwereld)

‘…The very solid and symphonic Touch of Light, on which Pieter Drost contributes his own prominent, melodic bass lines, is definitely one of their best songs and I am very lyrical about it…’ (Progwereld)

'...Mangrove creates a masterpiece live here with their rendition of Bridge to Fiction. It leaves you wanting more! This sounds like a renewed Mangrove. Refreshing, intense, innovative, groundbreaking. What a beautiful and impressive sound the band has in this composition...' (Rockportaal)
