Sunday 19th February, 2006

EYEFEAR would like to pay homage to a great supporter of the Melbourne metal scene who passed away recently: Jeff Rule. He worked tirelessly to promote and encourage Melbourne's young bands, organised many great gigs, and was a metal evangelist on public radio for 15 years. Most would remember him as the host of the diverse and often hilarious radio show "The Red Stink Of Metal", which used to be on before "Screaming Symphony" on 3PBS-FM. Even through the last few months of his failing health he still gave what he could, and still went out to support local bands. In fact, the last gig we played at The Espy was one of the last he ever went to. He died on his birthday, the 6th of February, at the age of 51. He will be greatly missed!!

Wednesday 11th January, 2006

Greetings, and many thanks to those who made it to The Espy on Friday night to catch us helping out good friends Enter Twilight on their CD launch! It was a great night, and we got a fantastic response to our new songs, especially "Whispers Of The Soul" (which is already becoming a crowd favourite!).

Wednesday 14th December, 2005

Guess what?

We'll be playing with fellow Melbourne Prog band Enter Twilight on their CD launch at The Espy on Friday 6th January 2006. It will be a great night of Progressive Metal, and we were only too glad to join the lineup and help celebrate their long-awaited debut release, The Inner Verse. Make sure you mark that one in your calendar!

Listen up!

To our great dismay, ProgPower Australia has been cancelled! For reasons yet to be disclosed, this major event has had to be axed. We are only glad it came early enough that most people hadn't yet made plans regarding travel and accomodation.

Monday 7th November, 2005

Attention!

We are very pleased to announce that we will be playing at Australia's very first ProgPower event in Sydney next February! ProgPower Australia XXVI continues in the tradition of it's cousins in the USA & UK (with Europe soon to come as well). This all ages event will feature the following all-star lineup:

Many Melbournians are making their way up, so we hope to see you up there! This truly will be THE event NOT to miss, so we wholeheartedly suggest you make the effort and get to Sydney for this special weekend! And Sydneysiders better mark this in their calendars, as you'd be crazy to miss this awesome gig! And spread the word that there's finally an all-ages show where our younger metalheads can check out the cream of the Australian Progressive/Power Metal talent!

Guess what?!

Con just got his dream guitar endorsement from Caparison Guitars! Ever since he picked up Andy La Rocque's in Sweden and had a play, he's been wanting his own. Now, thanks to bmusic in Australia, he has his own mega-cool Caparison "Horus"! For those not familiar with the brand, Caparison make top quality stock and custom guitars, with many European metal acts as their eager buyers. They are steadily gaining a great reputation and cult following, and when you pick one up you know why! While previously impossible to get here in Australia, these wonderful axes are now available from the better instrument stores (contact bmusic for more info). Once again, many thanks to Shane and all at bmusic.

Monday 5th September, 2005

Hiya!

We'd like to thank everybody who rocked up nice and early for the Screaming Symphony Benefit gig on Saturday night, and for the awesome support you gave us. For those who missed us, well, we hinted pretty strongly that we would be on first (this being so the night alternated between Prog and Power/Melodic Metal, and so that Voyager - who came all the way from Western Australia - got the attention of a full house). As it was, most of you took the call to get there early seriously, so we had most of the night's patronage there within a couple of songs.

We once again played new songs "Breathe Again" and "A World Full Of Grey" (the title track of our forthcoming album), as well as debuted "Whispers Of The Soul". Judging from the reaction, people are going to like the heavier approach this next album is taking.

Once again, many thanks to all who made it, and much respect to Screaming Symphony for all the work they do in promoting local (and international) metal. If you'd like to see some pics of the night, check back later this week.

PS: For those who read the interview in BEAT, no Con has not handed over his guitar to Danny and taken over singing duties! One would assume the guy meant "lead guitarist".

Monday 29th August, 2005

Hey guys

We've finally decided on a name for the next album, which will be "A World Full Of Grey" (one of the songs announced earlier, which we debuted in Sydney). Another new song we have is "Whispers Of The Soul"... which we might play this Saturday night at the Screaming Symphony Benefit Gig at the Corner Hotel, Richmond! Don't forget, doors open 7pm and we can't stress enough this is not a gig you want to turn up unfashionably late for! Let's just say the poster is not representative of the order of lineup whatsoever, and that if you don't want to miss out, you better be there for the first band at 7.30!

Take care... and make sure you get there early!!!

Greetings once again

We have photos up of our first trip to Sydney last Friday, so go take a look. For those who made it, there's a crowd shot in one of the collages, so see if you can spot yourself! Once again, many thanks to all who made it, to our great supports Transcending Mortality, Smug Goat, and Osmium Grid, and a big thanks to Dave of Metal Evilution for making it possible! 

Also, we will be playing the "Screaming Symphony" benefit gig with Vanishing Point and Black Majesty coming up in September here in Melbourne. It will be at The Corner Hotel on Saturday the 3rd, with Western Australian band Voyager and local lads Template also on the bill. Click the mini-poster below for all the info. All the best!

Hi there!

A BIG thanks goes out to all who made it to the Sydney gig at The Empire Hotel on Friday night! This includes our die-hard fans from Melbourne, being OzzyFrank, Denise, and Karl! We'd also like to thank Dave of Metal Evilution for making this gig possible! We sold all copies of "9 Elements Of Inner Vision" on the night, so obviously many there didn't even have the album yet, but came along to see what the fuss was all about. We hope you all had a great time, as we certainly did, and we can't wait to get back up in the not-too-distant future!

Check back later in the week for pictures from the night. Take care, all.

Welcome!

Just a small update to announce that our guitarist Con has received a great endorsement from Hughes & Kettner, one of the innovators and leaders in amplification technology. As you could imagine, he's quite pleased with this! Apart from that, we're just getting ready for our first trip to Sydney next weekend, which we're really looking forward to. Hope to see you up there!

Friday 1st July, 2005

Greetings one and all!

We have some news regarding our next (as yet untitled) album, which we began pre-production on last Saturday. Some track titles we can confirm are "Breathe Again", "A World Full Of Grey", and "While The World Sleeps" Part 3 ("The Eyes Tell No Lies") and Part 4 (currently untitled).

The album will be recorded at Sammy's studio Peak Time Productions (hoping to begin late October/early November), and again will be mixed by Andy La Rocque - who will also play a few guest leads!!!

More news soon, and we'll have some pictures of our first trip to Sydney up at the end of the month. Take care.

Hey there

Here's the poster for our Sydney gig coming up in just over a month. A few people are coming up with us from Melbourne to catch the show, so you Queenslanders who have been hassling us to get up there should get down to Sydney too! As for Sydneysiders who have asked if we'll have merchandise, the answer is yes, so bring a couple of bucks extra. We can't wait to get up north, so catch you then!

EYEFEAR

Monday 6th June, 2005

Attention Sydneysiders!

We will be heading up north for our first interstate gig in a few weeks! You'll be able to catch us on Friday 29th July at The Empire Hotel, cnr Parramatta & and Johnston Rds, Annandale. Supports are Transcending Mortality plus 2 more to be confirmed very soon.

Also, we have a guestbook up now so feel free to leave your comments!

Feel like chatting with the band? Then head on down to the EYEFEAR Forum hosted by OzProg! You need to become a member to post, but all that involves is a quick registration, and then you can converse with fellow metalheads and the guys from EYEFEAR.

Also, we'll be gigging again soon, with our next gig being a big one:

Friday 27th May at Screamers

Greetings!

We'd like to send out a big THANKS to all who made it to our CD Launch last Friday night! We had a great time and, from the looks of it, so did you! We debuted one of our new songs, "Breathe Again" , and ended the night with Gio (Black Majesty), Lidia (Enter Twilight), and Jimmy (WithoutEnd; ex-EYEFEAR) joining Danny on "Beyond The Twilight". Luckily we took quite a few copies of the album along to sell, as we had many people there hanging to finally get the CD, since the popular shops in Melbourne keep selling out of it. We also started selling t-shirts there, so more on the availability of those in the next update.

To check out pics of the night, click here (browse thumbnails; pics open up in their own window); to check out some shots of the last rehearsal before the CD Launch, click here (only 10 pics, so they all load on that page).

Just a reminder:

We will be doing a radio interview tonight on "Screaming Symphony" (between 10pm-12am on 106.7 FM - 3PBS) which you can listen to on the internet if you aren't in Melbourne (www.pbsfm.org.au).

And of course, don't forget the official launch of "9 Elements Of Inner Vision" at The Espy this Friday night!!! Doors open around 8pm, and we'll be on about 11pm, with 2 great supports being Enter Twilight and WithoutEnd. This will be a full night of Progressive Metal, so get in early. Also, we'll be playing our new song "Breathe Again" for the first time... and we have a little surprise for the end of the night... so don't miss it!

Hope to see you down there!

Monday 24th January, 2005

Hey all

We just found out today that we (or at least Con) will be appearing on 3JJJ's metal show "Full Metal Racket" this week! So tune in Tuesday night (being Triple J it's broadcast nation-wide, with web access for those overseas) on 107.5 FM between 11pm-1am. (For most of you reading this, that means TONIGHT!).

We will also be doing an interview on "Screaming Symphony" next Tuesday night (1st Feb) as a lead-up to our CD launch at the Espy the following Friday (4th). You can catch this between 10pm-12am on 106.7 FM (3PBS).

Take care!

EYEFEAR

Wednesday 15th December, 2004

It's confirmed!

Our CD launch for  is on at The Espy (Esplanade Hotel, St. Kilda) on Friday 4th February 2005, with supports Without End and Enter Twilight. This promises to be a great night, and being the weekend after the Big Day Out will be easy enough to remember (though we'll be reminding you closer to the date!).

Regarding the CDs: Metal Mayhem sold out of their whole first shipment of the (American pressing of the) album within an hour, so our advice is if you see it in a shop, grab it! Riot's shipment of the Massacre release of the album (which incidentally features a bonus disc!) is almost in the stores, so keep an eye out in JB and other stores.

Lastly, if you get to read this before Thursday night (16th Dec), tune into Odin's Jukebox on 88.6 MHz (Plenty Valley FM) between 10.30 pm and 12.30 am for an interview with Danny and Sam. For those not local enough to catch it, they'll probably stick an MP3 of it online, so keep checking their site (or we'll let you know when it's up).

Many thanks for your support once again! (And don't forget to mark your calendar!).

Monday 15th November, 2004

It's out!

Yes, "9 Elements Of Inner Vision" has finally been released! Now you can see what the reviews have been raving about for yourselves! If it's not at your favourite store, it's easy enough to order since it's out on Massacre Records in Australia, Europe and Canada, and through Nightmare Records in the US. In Australia, it's being distributed by RIOT, so should be available pretty much everywhere.

We really hope you enjoy the fruits of our labours! Many thanks for your support!

Welcome!

We have a couple of things you can check out: Danny's page at LongHairedMen (or Japanese version) and our new Reviews page (with more reviews coming soon). Also, if you want to buy the album online from the US, go to Nightmare's ad. Take care, and remember: the album comes out next Monday!!

Hello there

Just a small, trivial update letting you know we have a wallpaper you can grab on the Downloads page. There'll be more coming soon, but we thought we better mention we have a new download up. Oh, and it's looking pretty much definite that the Massacre release will be on the 15th of November in all countries concerned. Take care!

EYEFEAR

Friday 10th September, 2004

It's official!

We have just gotten confirmation from Massacre Records that the release date for the album will be 15th November! This will definitely be the release date for Europe, and we are hoping any delay in getting copies to Australia and Canada will be minimal (we will keep you informed if there is going to be any delay at all).

Thursday 2nd September, 2004

Hey guys

As you can see, we've updated the site to reflect the artwork of "9 Elements Of Inner Vision". More and more bands are revamping their sites with each new album, yet we don't really feel like we're jumping on the band wagon or anything, considering the site has looked basically the same for years now. Many thanks to Claus from Intromental for his encouragement and ideas (not to mention that cool "9 Elements..." cover collage on the welcome screen after the opening page!), and to OzzyFrank for his hard work in making it come together. We've already had some great comments on the artwork and overall look, so we hope you like the new-look site too!

Stay tuned for new on the official release date of the album coming shortly. For now, check out the link below for a sample if you haven't already done so.

Listen up!

There is a sample of "Illumination Fades" from our soon-to-be-released album "9 Elements Of Inner Vision" available at Intromental's site, so check it out!

Greetings!

We have some great news to announce: we have signed a deal with none other than MASSACRE RECORDS, one of the biggest labels in the metal world. As you can imagine, we are truly over the moon about this! And even more so, considering how happy they are with the album, and how confident they are that it will turn many heads once released.

And yes - the album isn't too far away. At the moment, it is looking like late October will be the release date for "9 Elements Of Inner Vision", but more on that in the coming weeks. We should be able to unveil the artwork fairly soon too, so check back for updates soon (or join the mailing list).

Thanks for your support once again.

Friday 30th April, 2004

Hi there all

Well, Con is back from Sweden, where he mixed and mastered the album with Andy LaRocque. The lucky bugger had a great time, as he got to hang out with one of his metal idols, and also got to meet original King Diamond drummer Mikkey Dee (currently Motorhead/Helloween). He also got to meet guys from Evergrey and Hammerfall (Oscar sent a hello to Danny, whom he remembered from Wacken), cover artist Mattias, and Claus and Lars from Intromental (who made their way up from Denmark for the occasion). 

Unfortunately, Con forgot to take a camera, but here are a couple of pics: the first is Con with Andy LaRocque, and the second is (from left) Lars, Con, Claus, and Mattias.

Anyway, the mixing went great, and even unmastered the album sounds excellent (which is why we chose Andy in the first place!). Now, with the overall tone of the album set, it sounds unbelievable! So check back soon, as we'll be bringing you news of a record deal very shortly!!

Thanks for your support.

EYEFEAR

Friday 9th April, 2004

Hey there everyone

We have some great news concerning the mixing of the album. Con will be flying out to Sweden this Saturday to do the mixing with Andy La Rocque! He'll leave on Saturday afternoon and arrive in Gothenburg on Easter Sunday morning (their time), where he'll be picked up by Andy (who is giving up a family Easter holiday to do this!). He'll then have a day's rest to recover from any jet-lag before getting stuck into a week of mixing. Claus from Intromental should also be making his way up from Denmark, so Con will finally meet the man behind our European promotion. Con will be leaving for home on the 19th, which means the album will be finished!

So stay tuned for more info on this when he gets back, and for news of a record deal (which shouldn't be too far away!).

Also, in case you had troubles accessing this site a few weeks back, our host seems to have disappeared, so now we're being hosted on ozzyfrank.com. This should address any performance issues previously encountered accessing our site.

Monday 1st March, 2004

Greetings!

And many, many thanks to all those who came out to support us last Friday night! I'm sure you will agree: it was a HUGE night! (With nearly 350 people there, how could one argue??). We even had our old friend Jimmy Georgopoulos join us for two songs: "Where Clouds Divide" and "Dawn (A New Beginning)". Con got up to play keyboards with Black Majesty on three songs, with Danny joining in on "Guardian". So not only was the night a treat for the fans, but for all of us as well.

And those of you who were there were also the first to hear our rather excellent news: that our album is going to be mixed in Sweden... by none other than King Diamond legend and producer-extraordinaire: Andy La Rocque!!! Yep, he loved what he heard, so is gladly taking on this task - which is quite OK with us!

So, once again, thanks for your support, and check back for updates soon (or just join the mailing list!). For pics of the night, click here, and also check out the Breakers Metal site for the review and even more photos.

Hi there all

Boy, have we got some news for you! While we are still going to wait a week or so before announcing the producer of "9 Elements Of Inner Vision", these two bits of news should tide you over till then...

First off, we are pleased to announce that we have signed a worldwide management deal with Intromental Management in Europe! The purpose of this partnership is not only to help find us a record deal worthy of this album, but also promote the band and help push us into the world arena. This company is one of the best in the business, so we are really pleased that they'll be working with us.

For more info on Intromental, click the banner below to check out their site, or click here to check out their EYEFEAR page.

The next bit of exciting news is that Mattias Norén will be doing the CD cover-art/booklet! For those of you not familiar with the name, he is the artist responsible for many of the awesome covers/booklets on releases from bands like Evergrey, Andromeda, Derek Sherinian, Chrome Shift, Hemisphere, Lost Horizon, and the latest Ayreon release. As you can imagine, we are really thrilled with this, as whatever direction the artwork will take, it will surely be a feast for the eyes!

If you want to see what this truly talented man is capable of, check out some of his wicked artwork at www.progart.com. You'll find all the cover-art he's done there, as well as a heap of his own art.

So stay tuned for more news coming shortly... and don't forget the killer gig coming up with Black Majesty at Breakers Metal coming on Friday 27th February. Catch you down there!

Hey everyone

We trust you had a safe and fun holiday break!

Over the last couple of months, we finished recording the album - and now we're talking with a couple of big-name producers in Europe to do the mixing for us! We are really excited about this prospect, as well as the attention the promo has been receiving over there. Responses from record labels have been awesome, so hopefully we'll have news on who we're signing with in about 4-6 weeks.

The other great news is that we'll be playing a special gig with Black Majesty at Breakers Metal on Friday 27th February! This promises to be a great night, so make sure you don't miss out on this one!

OK, that's it for now, but hopefully we'll have more info very soon!

Monday 20th October, 2003

Guess what?

Danny and Con will be joining the boys of Nightcrawler for a few songs this Saturday night! For those of you not familiar with the band, they do great covers of all the classics from the 80's (like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc), as well as some 90's stuff (like Metallica). This promises to be an excellent night, so get down to the Barleycorn, Johnson St, Collingwood (not far from Hoddle St).

Take care, and hope to see you down there!

Hey guys!

A massive THANKS to all of you who made it to Breakers Metal last Friday night - it was a HUGE night, with over 200 people in attendance! This show of support was even more impressive since it was the night before the Grand Final! There were a few who hadn't heard us and were eager to check us out; judging from the response we got from these people (including guys from other bands), it seems we have expanded our fan-base somewhat. People loved our sound, which was nice and chunky on the night, and many are hanging for our album to be finished.

It seems all of you had a great time, and we certainly did! Sammy had a blast on his first gig with us, and from applause during and comments after, it seems you appreciate his talent. Danny spun a few newbies out with his voice, not that he doesn't still send shivers up the spine of those who have seen us heaps of times. So while we went up there to have a bunch of fun, it's good to know you enjoyed yourselves too, and the confidence boost you've given us is certainly welcome.

So many thanks for your support and overwhelming response, and for making the gig a truly memorable one. Thanks also to Damnzal for being a great support, Babylon Ben for giving us a great sound, and of course our webmaster OzzyFrank for hassling the hell out of us to play there!

Sunday 7th September, 2003

Hi there all

Those of you on the mailing list would already know that just before Danny left for the U.K., he got an horrendous dose of that flu going around. Well, that was just the beginning of his U.K. drama!

As you probably know, besides Danny's hair promotion, the trip was also to promote EYEFEAR and any other Aussie band that answered the promo call-up. Well, upon arriving at Heathrow, he was detained for SIX HOURS as customs officials were sure he was bringing in illegal CDs to sell! Through a big mix up, there was no one there to verify his story... and it certainly didn't look good when the airline insisted there had been no Danny Cecati on their flight!!

Anyway, things eventually got sorted out (with the help of cousin Gio back here), and the albums and promos he had been holding onto were allowed to leave with him. They would have let him out earlier if he had left the CDs, but there was no way he was doing that!

Even though he felt like death warmed up, he didn't miss the BLOODSTOCK Festival, of which his highlights were seeing Masterplan and Nightwish. He got to go backstage and meet heaps of guys from bands and labels, etc, and of course gave out the promos/albums to appropriate people. There was not only a lot of interest in him and EYEFEAR, but the other local talent that made the effort to get their stuff over on this trip. Of course, Danny himself caused quite a stir; as you can imagine, his hair totally freaked out many European metalheads!

He had a really great time at BLOODSTOCK, and counts it as one of the most memorable events in his life. Though photo-shoots at Stonehenge and some castles had to be cancelled, he did have a great shoot at the ruins of an old Nuns' convent, so they got plenty of cool shots (and luckily he looked a lot better than he felt). And as things turned out, Danny would have missed Ozzy Osbourne in the last days of his trip anyway, as he cancelled his tour.

Danny returned in the wee hours of Tuesday 2nd September, about a week earlier than planned. Now he's concentrating on getting back in form for our next gig, which will also be the first gig featuring Sammy and the last one before the CD launch:

Breakers Metal
Friday 26th September
690 Mt. Alexander Road

So mark it in your calendar and get down to Breakers... it will be an awesome night!

Wednesday 6th August, 2003

Greetings!

Well guys, we have to say we couldn't be more pleased with the way things are turning out for us! First came the realisation (after stepping into the studio with Endel) that this album is going to be pretty special indeed; next Danny gets an invite to the UK, with people eager to hear some tracks off the forth-coming album...

Now, we have really added a whole new dimension to our music with the inclusion of Sammy in the band! And it couldn't have come at a better time, as we are doing the final mixing for the 3 tracks that are going to the UK/Europe next Tuesday and Wednesday.

We actually already had all the keyboards laid out and even mixed... but luckily we got Sammy in before we were committed to keeping what we had, as good as it was. Everybody who heard what we had thought it sounded great, but it was an easy decision to scrap all the work we had done on the original keys in favour of what Sammy has to offer.

Honestly guys - you wait till you hear Sammy go for it! He has been playing classical piano since he was seven, so it is in his blood. And we'll be announcing a gig for the not-too-distant future very soon, so you will get to see Sammy's magic in action! We're pretty sure you'll all blow away at how full Eyefear's sound is now!

Anyway, Sammy has been working like mad to make sure he is on the sampler going abroad, so things are looking even rosier regarding this rare promotional opportunity! The songs we'll have down by next Wednesday are:

Two Souls Apart
Dreams (with unbelievable vocal arrangements featuring Gio of Black Majesty!)
The Script Of Sorrowed Tales

We are going to arrange for a few samples to go up as soon as we can, so you will hear just how good this album is going to be! We are extremely proud of what we are achieving, and we know you'll be proud of us too when you hear the end result!

Many thanks for all your support, guys - and stay tuned for the next update, which will be soon.

PS: You guys in bands - hurry up and get your promos to OzzyFrank!

Hey everyone!
 
Boy have we got some news for you! And if you're in a band, please keep reading, as this concerns you too!
 
Well, it seems somebody has noticed our singer, Danny, has a head of hair to be reckoned with, along with his killer voice. A while back, Danny was contacted by the folks at Astroworld in the UK, as they were mightily impressed with not just his hair, but his vocal ability on Black Majesty's "Guardian". He further impressed them with his friendly and cooperative attitude, and they immediately offered him an all-expenses-paid trip to England to get some pictures taken for their project, which deals with the lifestyles of the long-haired.
 
But not only has Danny been asked to star in this "Long Hair Project", which will see him photographed at places like Stonehenge and with bands at the Bloodstock Festival, but he has been asked to be an ambassador of sorts for the Melbourne (and Australian) Metal scene! And, of course, they are extremely interested to hear some of the upcoming Eyefear album, so we are making sure we have three songs finished by then.
 
Danny will be flying out at the end of August, and will have a day to get over jet-lag before the fun begins. On Friday 29th and Saturday 30th August, Danny will be flashing his VIP pass around at the Bloodstock Festival in Derby, where he will be snapped with some of the bands (and having the time of his life in between!).
 
On Sunday 31st, Danny will get to chill to some Shakespeare at the historic (if rebuilt) Globe Theatre, and between Monday 1st and Thursday 4th September will be taking in more culture and history during visits/photo-shoots at Stonehenge and various castles.
 
On Friday 5th September, Danny will get to see Ozzy Osbourne in London, and is of course hoping to get to meet him backstage! (Are you turning green yet?). The following day involves a trip to Keithley to see Bloodstream, with Sunday 7th September being the last "chill out" day before the big flight back.
 
Obviously, we are excited for Danny and extremely pleased that we have a head-start on pushing the album, but you guys out there in bands have a chance to make this trip beneficial for yourselves as well. John Beeson from Astroworld actually flew out and saw our last gig at the HiFi Bar, and he was very impressed by the calibre of our bands here. Therefore, we are sending out the call for your albums, EPs or promos, with the intention of passing them along to people who will give them some serious attention. This could mean a record deal... or an offer of a tour... or an invite to be the touring support to some big metal act when they come over. Who knows? We can't guarantee you anything more than saving you the postage, but since John is quite keen to pass them along to his contacts (which are considerable), it could be the break you are waiting for.
 
So if you want to pass along a promo-pack, please contact OzzyFrank for more information, since he will be handling them. Remember, you only have till mid-late August, so don't leave it till the last moment!
 
So, in conclusion, a big thanks goes out to Joanna Fisher and John Beeson of Astroworld. Without them, Danny (and Eyefear as a whole) would never have had such a lucky break! And it goes without saying: thanks to all of you, without whom we would be nothing!
 
Take care (and get your CDs in, you guys!).

Hey everyone!

We would like to introduce to you our newest member in the EYEFEAR family: keyboardist Sammy Giaccotto. While it was unfortunate that Gary decided to leave recently, things have turned out for the best, as we were lucky enough to find Sam! This multi-talented musician is 25 years old, and started playing classical piano at the age of 7! He also studied sound production at RMIT, and produces music from his own home studio. He was in an industrial rock band called Ocean about 3 years ago, but since then has been honing his skills and waiting for the right band to come along!

So come back soon and we'll have Sammy's bio up with the others... as well as some very interesting and exciting news! Take care till next time.

Hey guys

Just wanted to let you know we might be a little hard to contact for a few days. Con, who handles the bulk of the incoming mail for the band, will be in hospital for 5 days as of next Tuesday... so if we don't get back to you straight away, please understand.

Oh, and if you would like to see more pics from Saturday night, check out the pics of Danny singing "Guardian" with Black Majesty.

Catch you all in the near future!

Greetings all!

What can we say but "Wow! What a great night!"? Despite some pretty bad foldback problems, all bands played great (so you tell us!) and had an excellent time! From the response of all you punters, it seems you had some fun yourselves!

We'd like to thank all of you for rocking up and supporting us, as the HiFi Bar is no small venue and can look pretty empty - but, thanks to you, it certainly didn't look that way.

And a MEGA salute goes out to John Beeson from the UK, who detoured south on his way home from the US just to catch this gig! We don't think you can get much more METAL than that, and are glad he had a great evening!  

If you would like to see some pics of the gig, click here. Check back soon for pics of Danny singing "Guardian" with Gio and Black Majesty before our set.

Take care, and once again THANKS!

Guess what everyone:

We have a great night coming up on Saturday, 26th of April at the HiFi Bar (125 Swanston Street, Melbourne). It will be a big one, with Black Majesty and Crimson Fire also in attendance. We all drew straws, so the line-up and times are as follows:

Black Majesty...  9:45
EYEFEAR...       11:00
Crimson Fire...  12:15

Entry is $11, with doors opening at 8.30. DJ Arthur will also be playing heaps of Melodic and Power Metal throughout, so make sure you get there!

Take care, and hope to see you at the gig.
