Music
"Progressive metal Orchestra" is a suitable description for the band's style. The songs are versatile with many rhythm and mood changes. They contain the heaviness of a metal band as well as sounds of classical instruments (violin, clarinet, flute) and polyphonic choirs.
History
The band was founded in Kaiserslautern/Germany in 1994. In autumn 1997, the band released their EP "Illuminating Heights" with two songs and a playing time of 25 minutes. The songs Sunblaze and Distant Reaches were recorded and produced in the band's own studio. The CD was well accepted by fans of progressive metal bands like Dream Theater or Fates Warning. Even though the band has no label and the CD is only available from mail order companies or the band, nearly 2000 CDs were sold.
Present
The musicians are currently busy recording their second CD. Again, the band members are doing recordings and production by themselves. What can be expected is a full length CD in the vein of the predecessor Illuminating Heights.
