The
progressive Rock / Metal band DREAMSCAPE were founded
back in 1986 by guitarist Wolfgang Kerinnis the first demo
tapes got great reviews all through the press and the band
established a remarkable live-presence also. After three
demos the band thought the time was right to record their
first CD album. With the album 'Trance like State' the guys
managed to achieve a record deal.
DREAMSCAPE
started playing shows with among others: VANDENPLAS, KINGS
X, STRATOVARIUS, CHROMING ROSE, ELEGY, AVALON, IVANHO but
also had to replace singer Tobi from the Line-Up. With a
new singer the 2nd album 'Very' was recorded and was supposed
to lead the band many steps forward. The beginning was very
promising: A good Japanese deal was secured and in some
European countries the band got rave reviews (Belgium, Sweden,
Finland, Italy..).
But
soon problems with the record company occurred, the distribution
was not adequate and the support from the label was not
satisfying. So the band decided to leave their label when
the recordings for the third album started. This turned
out to be a quite disappointing period for the band as also
the 2nd singer left the guys. Future didn't look too bright
for the band but the band took their chance and should turn
the wheel around.
With
Roland Stoll the perfect singer for DREAMSCAPE was found
and he finally was able to perform the songs the way the
band had in mind.. After Roland joining the line up all
songs were re-arranged and new lyrics were written. The
new album 'END OF SILENCE' was recorded and mixed in 2002
and in 2003 DREAMSCAPE signed with Massacre Records. The
next album 'REVOICED' was released in 2005. It is a best
of collection of their first two albums. But it is more
than simply a collection. The songs were totally new recorded
and arranged to present the older material with roland's
voice. At the moment DREAMSCAPE is going to arrange and
record their fifth album '5th season'. Its going to be the
best DREAMSCAPE album ever!
