BiografieTaster´s Choice project is born in Livorno (Italy) at the end of 1999 as a collaboration of four friends (Marco Bassini aka ´Ghiando´, Pietro Marsili aka ´Peter´, Mattia Biagini aka Jason and Alberto Pieri) concentrating on Crossover Style but, after a first promo of Five songs, the Band composition changed.

In 2000 the band has begun a process of maturation and has been supplemented with a new Guitarist, Simone Fiori, with a percussionist (Francesco Tonarini aka ´Togno´) a Dj (Filippo Gherardi aka ´Homer´) and another Singer (Daniele Nelli aka ´Mister´)... During 2003, after the Dj left, Fabrizio Pagni (aka ´Izio´) joined the band.
As sampler he uses Korg Studio Triton Professional in making electronic effects, Synths and Loops. The entire Band´s crew is born in years 1980/1985.

By the time, the Band has changed from Crossover style to ´Tribal MetalCore´ (as the Band define his Own Style), a result of emphasized Grooves created by a Mix of Drums - Percussion; a five strings Bass heightening the rhythm, a Guitar making very accurate riffs, and a Sampler characterizing ambient pieces (as Bass Wave, Loops, Synths etc.).

In addition, Taster´s Choice Lead Voices (´Ghiando´ and ´Mister´) use their voices in every possible way, from High, Medium and Low Screams, to a little of Hip Hop, passing through melodic songs.

Before ´Shining´, their Debut Album composed of 11 tracks, the Band recorded 4 Promos Cd. ´Shining´ has been recorded within West Link Recording Studios (Italy), mixed with Fabio de Pretis @ Blue Noise Studio (Italy) while Final Editing and Mastering process were managed by Mauro Andreolli @ Das Ende Der Dinge Studios (Negrita, Extrema, Folder, Addiction Crew). Art Direction, Graphics and Design of the Booklet by Syncprodz. ´Shining´ is realased through the German Label Shark Records (Sepultura in the ´88, Horrorscope, Calm, Virgin Steel, Warlock) for the European / U.S. Territories and for the Asian territories through ´Gencross Records´ (SmaXone, Machine Men, Northern Light etc)...
