MORNING was founded in the summer of 2000 by Saskia van Heugten (vocals) and drummer Mauro Pi (drums). In autumn 2000, the brothers Pol Bannier (bassguitar) and Stijn Bannier (synths) joined the band. Until summer 2003, the band released two demo EP's. In February 2001, they released "Little Moves", with Jerry Jacobs on guitar. This demo CD caused, apart from MORNING becoming more known, a lot of gigging in the Netherlands and abroad in 2002 and 2003, now with Gilles van Hoof as the guitarist. With this line-up MORNING also released the MCD "Circle Of Power" in April 2002, which was reviewed very positively in several magazines. The CDd was recorded by Hans Reinders (Boondoggle) in the Pitstudio (SUN CAGED, BANNER OF THUGS, DESENSITISED, TRIPLE 7) in Weert, The Netherlands and it was mastered by Marcel Coenen (ex-LEMUR VOICE, SUN CAGED).

After working for two years with just one guitarist, the Dutch band (with members from SUSTEREN, NIEUWSTADT, SITTARD and HEERLEN) decided in summer 2002 to continue with two guitarists. The remaining members found Martijn Brauwers and Bas Rensen. The young band (ages between 16 and 27) calls its style DreamMetal, with influences from bands like THE GATHERING, AYREON, RHAPSODY and LACUNA COIL. With the new line-up the band is more powerful and intense like never before and gets a decent name in live performing with provisional zeniths like:

winning the regional preliminary round from the MetalBattle 2003.

In May and June 2003, the band started working on a new demo EP called "Inside". This CD is recorded by Hans Reinders in the Pitstudio again. "Inside" was released in August 2003.
