ELYSIUM,the Band, was formed in late 1991.The name comes from Greek mythology meaning
'where the gods go to die-paradise or heaven'. ELYSIUM was an original band performing a

04.
Matt Huxtable, on guitar,is formally of 'S.D.I' and Lt.Dan Burke, on bass, formally of
'GreenRoom'.
So far we have recorded three demos (which I have mixed and mostly recorded my
self),played a few shows and are currently recording a fourth demo. However I must
stress........ this is only the beginning.
-THROWING SHAPES-
Throwing Shapes came about because I had so much music built up that either did not fit the
theme of the band at the time or simply was not practical to perform with a traditional band
line up. I am inspired to create a balance between electronic and acoustic instruments that
pushes musical boundaries in both melodic and instrumental composition.
Sounds Like: A colourful, artistic display of electronic and acoustic instruments. Genuine and progressive. Electronic music by musician.'Throwing shapes' is a fusion of styles. Heavy shredding synth lines and intelligent melodic grooves. It has been described as "The perfect sound track for a twisted trip into your own subconscious" and "Murder in space".
Type of Label: Unsigned
