About Me

Hello All !
AnimAte's geographical roots lie in Silesia, Poland. The band was assembled at the end of August '05, although the idea for the band dates back to a couple of months before that.
The spark which set the fire was the fact that AnimAte's rhythm section - Przemek (b) and Sebastian (dr) - one day decided to put together a band which would be based on their shared musical language and common vision.
Right after Marcin(gtr) joined AnimAte's ranks, the trio doubled the efforts to solve logistic problems and finally found a rehearsal space. It was Marcin's arrival which truly proved to be a breakthrough: without him the whole affair would surely have proven to be just a flash in the pan.
Finding a guitar player of suitable technique, the right ideas and proportional level of commitment never appeared easy to Przemek and Sebastian, and yet it all went surprisingly smoothly and quickly.
As for the long-desired rehearsal space, the band managed to find a great place in Bedzin - a tram depot, of all places! - and they animatedly started to practise.
Currently the band is searching for vocalist. Meanwhile, we invite you all to listen to two mp3 from promo CD called "A" in music player .

Influences:AnimAte's music is a blend of melodic heavy rock with additions, ideas and arrangements characteristic for progressive rock. It can safely be stated that the band's style oscillates between progrock and contemporary heavy music, abounding with various additions in spite of a relatively compact lineup. There are some sound experiments to be found here, as well as lots of melodies and dynamics; the band also uses synthesizer parts to add a little softness to the edges of the naturally heavy sound.

As the contemporary fashion dictates, we are not particularly fond of being sorted out and labeled as this style or that, although in our case it is not a mere expression of artistic ego blown up to unnatural proportions - it is just a desire to keep our options open and play whatever we like at a given moment. Still, it is only fair to say that we draw our inspiration from artists who have filled the progressive Hall of Fame. These bands and individual musicians have been present in our mini-collective consciousness for years and we feel strongly drawn to the wonderful and timeless music they create.

Type of Label: None
