Without Face is one of the forerunners of the Hungarian metal scene. The group plays space-age, atmospheric and grandiose metal led by frontwoman Juliette. With ethereal vocals and tight musicianship the band crafts a unique sound - Enya meets Iron Maiden.br /br /br /br /Without Face was formed by Juliette, vocalist Andras, guitarist Roomy, bassist Akos, keyboardist Sasza and drummer Peter in 1997 and by early 1998 recorded a demo. In June of 2000, the band released their debut, Deep Inside, in their home country on Hammer Music Productions. The attention-grabbing record, both dark and uplifting, was later put out in America by Dark Symphonies.br /br /br /br /Astronomicon followed in 2002. With sparkling keyboards set against heavy riffs, the collection of progressive metal draws themes from H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe, for a sometimes grim, sometimes transcendent astral journey of operatic proportions. ~ Charles Spano, All Music Guide |
