In March 2008, Will Attewell went into the studio with Jeff Alcaras to tape the first FAR PLAIN demo. Heavily influenced by the 90's, they produced 3 grungy rock titles to start the FAR PLAIN adventure rolling. Very quickly the irresistible need to perform live was felt and became a reality as Guillaume Jockey (The Four Horsemen), Fred Beauvais (Nutshell) and Marileen (Hide & Sick) joined the group.
After a series of performances, the group went back into the studio (aug 2009), with producer Phil Alcaras, to record "Portae Lucis" (Studio de la côte); the first official album of FAR PLAIN. A year with many concerts followed, forging a place for the group on the french scene. A considerable number of important articles (VS Webzine, Paville 666, Metal France and French Metal), success in radio OUI FM's "Oui Love Myspace" competition and a thoughtful piece in ROCK & FOLK propulsed FAR PLAIN into orbit amongst the leading lights of the French "Alternative Rock Music Mouvement".
FAR PLAIN started recording their 2nd Opus, "Human Forbidden" in September 2010 in collaboration with a label. A change of group members has brought in NùN (Eric Blanchard) replacing Marileen on the bass guitar for all live performances.

Human Forbidden” is heavy, very heavy, yet at times very catchy album. The album have also very intense filled with good, strong riffs, mixed with some nice acoustic tracks ( “Tired” “One More Crush”) which brings a nice balance to the material. Although at times this was very repetiive I'm sure that Far Plain fans will find this a great addition to their collection.
