TALAMASCA - PROJECTION - 1998

Talamasca began in Appleton, WI (U.S.A.) in the Spring of 1994 with Andy Paredes (guitar), Brad Schuler (bass), and Matthew Lee Belanger (percussion) and was completed with the addition of vocalist Steve Gentz in the Spring of 1997. The band took their name from Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, and began writing music in the vein of their influences, including Fates Warning, King Diamond, and Queensryche. Talamasca's debut album Projection (1998) was followed by positive reviews from magazines and fanzines around the World. Other appearances included Rock Hard Magazine's "Unerhort! Volume III" CD compilation, appearances on the Powermad 98 and 99 Sound Samplers, and a recording of "The Whisper" for the "Warning: Minds of Raging Empires" Queensryche tribute album on Siegen Records.
