Smokescreen began in the winter of 2001 as a result of two bands, of brothers Tom and Sam, combining and eliminating a few members leaving a 5 piece metal band containing drummer Kyle Tatam, singer Sam Loose, guitarists Matt Kidd and Tom Loose and bassist George Whyles. The band first had a few practices and it wasn’t long before they were ready to start gigging, at first only playing covers in a local pub. As time passed on problems arose with drummer Kyle Tatam, he wouldn’t turn up to practice on time, if at all and when he didn’t turn up to a gig Smokescreen decided it was time to get rid of him. He was replaced by, now current drummer, Oli Walkers and so Smokescreen got back to practicing and decided that it was time to write some original material. The first Smokescreen songs written, were ‘In the Black of Night’ and ‘Turning in the Grave’ which were both Metallica/Iron Maiden sounding 80’s metal songs. But as time went on, the style has developed and changed dramatically, moving towards a more modern style of metal. So with a new drummer and a few originalsSmokescreen started gigging again and things were looking up. They then decided it was time to put a demo to their name, so they booked studio time for August 2003 and in the mean time wrote some more original material. Leading up to the booked studio time problems were this time arising with bassist George Whyles. The summer crept up fast and the EP was recorded on the 30th and 31st of August 2003 at Meadowside Studios. Immediately after the recording of the ‘Welcome To Death’s Door EP,’ the decision was made to replace bassist George Whyles, with the bassist from another local band called Dave Cooper from another metal band called Bonesaw. Once Dave was in the band, things started to take shape, with Smokescreen winning the Spalding Grammar School Battle of the Bands, and headlining ‘Blackout 2003’ also held at the Grammar School.
