Band:

Valiance

BiografieIt was between November 1993 and March 1994 that Tixotropia project was born and developed in Naples. These young guys (17 years on an average) were on stage for the very first time in these days, showing a quite definitive line-up with: Mario Mosca on vocals, Marco De Angelis and Valerio Bontempo as "axe-men" and Gian Paolo Costantini on the bass guitar. After Alessandro Romano joined into the band as a new drummer, the line-up remained unchanged ´till the September 1996.



Paying homage to NWOBHM, Tixotropia (negletful of the musical trands or spreading Grunge phenomenon) started a very intensive stage activity, performing covers and their owned songs.



On September 1996 the band recorded the first demo-tape called "Killing the pigs killer", that received very good reviewes by the specialized press and a positive approach by the audience.This date signed the quite contemporary split of Mario Mosca and Valerio Bontempo , causing a sensible delay in the promoting live acts (which the band held in due consideration).



On Jenuary 1997 new members joined into the band:Alessandro de Simone(vc) and Mario Esposito(gtr); they brought new ideas and personalized the "old work" giving a particular interpretation. The "five guys" returned to work hard and play on stage as "running in" of the new line-up. The target of the band moved from playin´ covers to the composition of new material, which had to point out the direction of the band as result of a "natural evolution" of the sound. Proposing a Power-Metal derived by "teutonic-school" and also completed by a progressive influence, the parthenopean combo recorded "King Of Toys", just a primordial example of this sound, which was included in CD compilation "Into The Underground vol. II" produced by "Whiplash Prod." (July ´98).



Keybords appeared in the arrangment of the band, giving them the faculty to create different and evocative atmospheres ( from epic taste to the progressive symphonic one) or istrumental interlacings. Recently the band has released a self-produced promo-tape, recorded and mixed all by themeselves titled "Beyond The Line"; it includes 2 brand-new songs plus intro, "Swords Made Of Me" and "Livin´ Trough The Time", that was re-recorded in the demo "Time Enchanter". This demo was recorded on April 1999 with two new elements, Carmine Gottardo (vocals) and Ciro Esposito (keyboards).

Bier kommt aus Deutschland, Wodka aus Russland, Kriegshetzer aus den USA und schlechter Metal aus Italien! Gemäß der geographischen Form dieses Landes sollte deren Musik doch Arsch treten?!
