Biography

Cédric “Cede” Dupont is mainly known as a former guitarist for German metal acts Freedom Call, Symphorce and Downspirit. Currently he plays guitar in Silent Circus, a modern metal band from Switzerland. He started playing music by the age of 12 when he got his first guitar.

In 1999, he joined German band Symphorce with whom he released seven albums through Noise Records, Metal Blade Records and AFM Records up to 2010, and has been touring Europe with bands such as Kamelot, Grave Digger and Sonata Arctica, as well as playing music festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Earthshaker Fest, Summer Breeze Open Air and ProgPower USA.

From 2001–2005, he has been playing in a second band called Freedom Call (label: SPV) where he recorded two studio albums and one live album. After playing extensive tours in all his active years in Freedom Call he decided to leave the band in late 2005 to concentrate on new projects. He has been working on some instrumentals that were released in 2010 in form of his first solo album, Melodrama.

In 2009, Dupont formed Downspirit, that has been releasing their debut album in mid-2010 followed by touring in Europe with acts such as Grave Digger, Sinner, Good Charlotte & Axel Rudi Pell. In July 2012, Downspirit's second album called Bulletproof has been released. Prior to its release the band has been touring with Adrenaline Mob and finished their 2012 tour including shows with Doro.

In August 2013, Dupont joined the Swiss modern metal band Silent Circus, his current main priority. Their upcoming album is currently in the making and scheduled for a 2016 release in the fall.
