The Bio
In 2002, after several years and hundreds of concerts performed as member of the celtic/prog/rock band Tornaod, Tony Beaufils (electric, accoustic and banjo guitar - also ex Now-Lëdge, Mindrage and Krozal) goes back to his first and favorite genre : symphonic heavy metal.
Qantice is founded and will soon include Ephrem Charmois (drums) and Yoshika Saito (violin, first violin in the "Odyssée Symphonique" Orchestra).
From the first compositions, Qantice puts together classical, traditionnal and various other influences into an original epic sci fi/fantasy metal. The celtic instruments (Flutes, Ulean Pipe, Bohdran...) are played by his mates from Tornaod and from the Naheulband (a parodic medieval/celtic/folk band, very famous in the francophon roleplayers world, where Tony performs a heavy-metal-banjo-playing orc) music .
In 2004, Carole Alcantara (Lead singer form the band Onyromancy) records the female operatic vocals on the dark heavy song "Burial Wave" and a first demo is mixed. Another guest is Cyril Verez (bass virtuoso) who'll record three tracks around the same period.
In 2005, Vince (also singer in Lands Of Past and ex Biomech Race) joins the band as lead vocalist.
2006 will see the release of a second demo, preparing an album that will be mixed in October 2007 by Kevin Codfert (Keyboard from Adagio, ex Biomech Race, also mixed Venturia's "New Kingdom")
November 2007, the first album "The Cosmocinesy" is mastered at HOFA in Germany.
December 2008, Qantice signs with Brennus Records, and few weeks later, recuits its new drummer: Aurélien Joucla. "The Cosmocinesy" will be released in March 2009.

La Biographie
En 2002, Tony Beaufils ( ex Now-Lëdge, Mindrage, Krozal, TornaoD) fonde Qantice, le groupe de metal symphonique qui lui permettra d'exprimer sans limite son goût pour des compositions riches, imagées et originales. D'emblée s'impose à lui le concept d'un multimonde, lui aussi nommé Qantice, dont les contrées bigarrées seront autant de prétextes aux changements d'ambiances musicales, comme au long d'un film de science fiction aux accents d'épopée...
En parallèle, le susnommé leader est aussi l'Orc au Banjo du Naheulband, ainsi que le guitariste de Belyscendre, deux formations hyper connues dans le monde entier, enfin, surtout dans le "monde entier" des rôlistes francophones qui ont internet. :-)
Après, tout s'accélère: Yosh Otias (violon) et Ephrem Charmois (batterie) arrivent la même année ; de nombreux invités participent aux enregistrements tels Carole Alcantara (chanteuse d'Onyromancy), Cyril Verez (bassiste virtuose), John Lang (leaderTomaz Boucherifi-Kadiou (leader de TornaoD) au Tin Whistle; en 2005 c'est enfin Vince qui débarque pour assurer le chant lead ; et après une démo en 2006, c'est le mixage du premier album, "The Cosmocinesy" qui débute en 2007 avec Kevin Codfert, le claviériste et non moins ingé-son d'Adagio.
Décembre 2008: signature avec Brennus Records pour une sortie de l'album en Mars 2009.
Dernier point qui pour l'instant ne concerne que les francophones :
L'histoire racontée au travers des chansons de ce premier album fera aussi l'objet d'un roman. (Eh oui, voici venue l'ère du book metal !) Son écriture est en voie d'achèvement, mais il serait encore imprudent d'annoncer des dates de sortie, donc patience : vous serez bien sûr les premiers avertis sur cette page...
