Biographie : Aeons End

Aeons End was founded in September 1993 by the members of the German death metal band CEMETERY after the loss of their record deal with West Virginia Records during the death metal crisis in 1993. Despite having recorded a full length album in 1993 they didn't manage to be succesfull again in the weakening death metal scene. At the end of the year they decided to convince female vocalist Gaby Weihmayer to join the band. They turned their style to extreme Progressive Metal like WATCHTOWER or CONFESSOR.

In spring 1994 the band entered the A.M.P. Studio in Beuren near the German City Nürtingen to produce their album "Spiral Seas".
"Spiral Seas" was produced by Roman Schoensee, later the bassman of PYOGENESIS and had a total playing time of 29:21 minutes, the sound was as good as possible for a 1993 low budget production. The Songs were very complex, so "Spiral Seas" couldn't convince all critics and fans.

In summer 1994 bassplayer and Cemetery-founding member Bobby Mayer was replaced by Robin Fischer. The band played a few gigs in winter 1994/95 before changing their style again and replacing guitarist Roland Weihmayer through female keyboarder Monika Hebel.

With this new line up the demo "The Five Chapters Of The Spiral Seas" was recorded at Nightmare Studio in Fautspach / Baden Würtemberg by Ecki Erlenbusch. The bands second output had a much better sound than the first one, the playing time was once more round about half an hour and it could have been much more succesfull than the Spiral Seas-CD if the band hadn't split up in the meantime.

Robin Fischer und Elmar Nüsslein are now part of the power-thrashers RED TO GREY, Daniel Zizek got the blues and hits the strings of his guitar more softly at the TRIPLE-T-BLUES-MACHINE while Gaby Weihmayer is a singer of the coverband GENERATION-X .
