Cheeno was founded by the four former live and studio musicians of a band called "Autumnblaze", which has released 6 Cds worldwide on "Prophecy Productions" and played four tours through Europe with bands like „Antimatter", "Oceansize", and "the Vision Bleak". Together with Jennie Kloos, an experienced soloist who has already performed for various advertisement and television productions, they've founded Cheeno in August 2005. Shortly after their first rehearsal, they were supporting their former label mates Klimt1918 (IT) on their tour through Germany and the Netherlands. At the end of 2005 they won several newcomer contests and at the beginning of 2006 they published their first EP "try to rescue". The title track "the ruler" has been rotating for five weeks in the broadcast "netcharts" of the German radio station Das Ding. In 2006, Cheeno competed with 800 bands, and was finally nominated for and honored with the "German Rock and Pop" award for "Best Alternative Act 2006". Their popularity in the rock world has grown with each concert and festival performance across Europe. They played as support act for bands like Tesla, Fear My Thoughts, Paul DiAnno (Ex Iron Maiden), Ross the Boss (Ex Manowar), Powerwolf, Mercenary, Xandria, Nocte Obducta, Peilomat, Debauchery and many more. And although their style sometimes differed extremly from those of the main bands, they could always convince the audience with their live performance. In the middle of 2008, Cheeno have finally singned their first record deal at Prevision Music, a sublabel of Supreme Chaos Records, to publish their first full length album called "The Next Step Will Be The Hardest".
