As a result, Pride and Fall started up in 2000-2001 together with Per Waagen. Per had worked with Sigve in the 90s in a doom-metalband from Stavanger called Vidvandre where Sigve did vocals and Per the drums. Vidvandre also featured Frank Claussen who later joined the successful Theatre of Tragedy.



Pride and Fall released a demo shortly after, and released their debut album, Nephesh in 2003, and debut single"Paragon" on dependent in Europe, Metropolis Records in the United States, and Memento Materia in Scandinavia. In late 2005, the band released their second single, the web-only release "Border", and in 2006, their second album Elements of Silence. The band released their third album, In My Time of Dying, on August 17th, 2007, and as of September 15th, 2007, their album "In My Time Of Dying" ranked #1 in the German Alternative Charts, and the limited edition DigiPak sold out.

Pride and Fall then had a long break that lasted until he end of 2011, when the band decided to produce a new album for release early 2013. The album will released on Dependent Records, as the label re-opened in 2009 and begin to release physical CDs again in partnershipwith Metropolis Records.
