Archétypo 120

Though the band began in 2004, its roots can be traced back to the late 1980's, more precisely to 1988, when two of the founding members had their first band, Anomeos. The end of this one led to the formation of another band, Restos Mortais de Isabel which, by early 1991, also saw its end, with each member persuing different musical projects. Nevertheless, by 1999, the idea arose of re-starting the project, not only keeping the old songs but, more important, creating new ones. However, and due to personal reasons, the band only kept two of its founding members. This, allied with a different sonority from that that Restos Mortais de Isabel practised, mainly due to the use of computers and new technologies, led to the idea of starting off a new project and so Archétypo 120 was born. Christened Kali Ashti at first, the band spent the next two years composing and playing their own songs until, by summer 2006, the opportunity occurred of recording an album. This was done by David Reis (a former member of Phantom Vision and now playing in the project In Tempus) and Pedro Morcego (Phantom Vision), who also produced the record. A year has passed since then and the band is still looking for a label to release their 10 songs album, called "Obsession" (from which these two songs are taken), at the same time that they are working in a second one.
