The Story so far (as told by A. Troiano) :I started DISTANT PAST in 2002 for three reasons: I wanted to get my ideas and songs on CD and secondly do it without a band, but fellow musicians as a project. And 3: to do X-Files meet von Däniken Style Concept.I joined the Melodic Heavy Metal Band EMERALD in 1999 and we recorded the Album REBELS OF OUR TIME independently. Before the successor CALLING THE KNIGHTS (also produced by the band) came out in 2001, I dropped out of the band to form my own band. The second album contained two songs written by myself SHADOWKNIGHT and UNREASONABLE VIOLENCE; plus I played Bass on some other songs. Little did I know that my friends were to score a record deal with German Label SHARK shortly after my departure. Luckily we remained in close contact so I contributed lyrics and played on their 3rd Record FORCES OF DOOM (bearing the title of one of my Lyrics). This Album was recorded in Bochum, Germany at Detlef Mohrmanns Studio.Even before I officially left Emerald, I created ScaredCrowd with Alain Curty, guitar and Kasper Zwirner, drums, both being my friends for as long as I can remember. As we were offered an unplugged Gig at the Freiburg Fair, we changed the Name to EVIL EYE and added Cornelia Poffet on Vocals and started playing soft rock. The concert was transmitted live on Radio, so we thought it might be worth doing it. After a break to build our rehearsal space, our problem remained not to set on a particular style. We had a few good and one great gig at our home-town school, with a new drummer and a second guitarist. With my influence fading, the Band turned into something else than I was expecting, after many attempts to clear the situation, I decided to go.Moving into a house I quickly enquired home studio equipment, with help of my dear Bass Teacher Mr. Arnaud Francelet and stared working on three songs so that I could get experience with recording. Then, I gathered together what would become SCIENCE REALITY. With help of Christof Schafer (ex-AREA LC, V-GAS), Reto Guggisberg, Alain Cury, special guest Jörg Frei and others, I recorded at home this first CD. I wasnt satisfied with the overall result, but I learned a lot from this first production.Soon after I began to work on the new album, trying to concentrate my abilities, determinated to push everyone involved to the limit, myself included.The new album EXTRAORDINARY INDICATION OF UNNATURAL PERCEPTION proofs that were moving on BIG TIME. Songs like NEVER RETURN A FAVOUR or CRYSTALLINE TERROR have a real Feel a good Vibe.Thanks to the fantastic help and great work of all involved this Album has turned out to be amazing. Very hard rockin and soulful, unbelievable guitar solos and chilling vocals. Check it out now!
