Bio:
EXISTENCE was formed in 1988. The members intended to play heavy melodic music with progressive elements and a style to be remembered.
This was finally achieved when vocalist Mike joined the band, bringing his unique non standard metal voice in.
In 1989 the band´s only demo effort “Gates To Exist†was released and got highly acclaimed critics.
Soon thereafter the first record deal was signed which lead to the recording of “Reign In Violence†in 1990. This album is a real classic in the Epic Metal genre and lead to EXISTENCE´s cult status the band has today in the Power Metal underground scene.
In the 90s, the band disbanded due to the fact that all members wanted to face new musical challenges.
In 2003 three of the original members (Andy, Mike & Wurzl) met again to write new material and record “Ventricular Fibrillation†which once again gained great press reviews.
Therefore and because of the ongoing cries for live shows EXISTENCE was re-established with a new lineup in 2005 to play live shows again and to record a new album which is to be released in 2007.
Releases:
Gates to exist (Demo Tape - 1989)
