Cryterium

THIS IS A DEMO VERSION. THE SOUND QUALITY IS FAR FROM PERFECT.

We are a conceptual progressive/metal band from Montreal.

The members are:

Mark Hill Anderson: He sings clean vocals and plays electric/accoustic guitars. His varied musical influences range from flamenco to death metal. Strong with his experience in theater and after years of musical training and a few bands behind him (The Cast, China Blue, Eudoxis, Exos, Latem Force, Ghoulunatics) he had the idea the musical theater project Cryterium about the neverending battle between good and evil. The project is right now at its primary form (the band) but his goal with Cryterium is to create a whole rock opera with a team of performers.Pénélope Jolicoeur: She sings clean/harsh vocals and plays piano, keyboard and guitar. She has been acting for several years and can be seen in a few movies, videoclips, musicals and plays. She's recently been learning arabic vocal technique and opera. Her vocal versatility, her dramatic stage presence as well as her four octaves range often lead people to compare her to Diamada Galàs. In Cryterium, she represents all that's evil under the traits of Chimera.Jenifer Béliveau: Strong with years of classical training, she adds empowering violin parts and haunting solos to Cryterium. She combines dissonance and technique to create her own style.Robert Mayer: He plays drums and percussions. Sound engineer and studio musician for over twenty years, he adds to the technical aspect of Cryterium with his obvious progressive influence.Frank Lowen: Bass player. Bio incoming.

Cryterium: The Characters...Shayda The last of a long liniage of warriors His ancesters had one goal: Fight evil and Chaos Driven by this unrelenting battle Shayda's calling is to conquer Over evil and time.

Chimera Born from evil and darkness Her soul was graced from the gods Through her purity and lightness Yet a twist of fate overturned her sacred powers And she became the enemy of all that's good.
