Deride started in the fall of 1995 in Bergen, Norway. The band was originally Børre H. Michelsen - vocals, Ole Walaunet - guitars, Johan Alme - bass & backing vocals and Kjetil Greve - drums. After a while the personal interests in the band began to point out in different directions and by fall of 1998 Alme felt he couldn't contribute anymore, and quit. Soon after him, Michelsen quit as well, leaving Walaunet and Greve without a singer & a bass player. They went into a frustrating year, in which they tried hard to find musicians to replace Alme and Michelsen.
By fall of 1999, things again began to settle. They found a new singer: Frediablo.
With a new line-up consisting of founding members Greve and Ole Walaunet, and the new entries Per Helge Lande and Tony Vetaas, Deride are back in 2012 with The Void.
