Since 1994 they played many gigs in Italy and Switzerland and in 1995 they recorded the first demo tape entitled "Reality" that was very well reviewed by all the specialized magazine, especially in Italy and Germany. After a lot of live activity the band recors the new demo-tape "Echoes From Unreal" which sells over 1000 copies around Europe especially at the live shows. Finally in June 1997 the band recorded the MCD "The Life…The Death" a work which underline the passage from gothic metal to a sort of progressive metal with influences of bands like Dream Theater, Jethro Tull, Paradise Lost and Symphony X, however the band maintain the peculiar characteristic of their sound : sweetness of their melody mixed to the Grey’s aggressive vocals. In September 1997 Derrick is replaced by Sig (Drums) and in Feb. 1998 the band sign a contract with Elevate Records; in the same time the band change the name in Acron. ‘Labyrinth Of Fears’ is the first Acron’s album, and the sound is an aggressive mix between symphonic metal, Power and progressive with a touch of gothic. |
