The Dust Connection

About Me

“Bounded in this contemporary form by coincidence? Or could it be…??"
The Dust Connection- was formed in 2003 by five enthusiastic experienced music lovers.
The Dust Connection- Is usually connected with symphonic/progressive metal , but dares to avoid clichés and is willing to experiment with influences from other musical genres.
The Dust Connection- Recorded its self-produced Demo-CD at their drummer Robert's recording studio in 2003.
The Dust Connection- Received unanimously positive international press reviews for this demo, resulting in invitations to play on the prestigious ProgPower Europe festival and to support top bands such as Evergrey and Mercenary on tour. The band even managed to get a full interview in Holland’s leading metal magazine Aardschok, a rare thing for an unsigned band with no album out yet.
The Dust Connection- Shot a music video for “The Grand Final” which can be viewed on their website.
The Dust Connection- is busy recording its debut album at the moment.
