│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ http://bobkatsionis.tripod.com/imaginery/ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Imaginery begun their course in music as a ║ │
│║ vision of Bob Katsionis back in 1996 when he ║ │
│║ formed a project called "MIRAGE" playing ║ │
│║ fast european power metal in the vein of ║ │
│║ Stratovarius,Angra etc. something that was ║ │
│║ previously never attempted by a Greek band.The ║ │
│║ band recorded 2 demos, first on 1996:"Time To ║ │
│║ Win" with female singer Mary Z. and on ║ │
│║ 1997:"Vibrations"with vocalist Thomas ║ │
│║ Papaefstathiou,who is a very close friend to Bob ║ │
│║ and a fine graphic designer/photographer and has ║ │
│║ also made the logo for IMAGINERY.These 2 demos ║ │
│║ got great reviewing from every media so Bob ║ │
│║ decided to form a full band and release a ║ │
│║ record.Joined by ex-Fatal Morgana singer Luis ║ │
│║ Hatzimichalis, ex-Acid Death drummer Kostas ║ │
│║ Tsobanos,bassist Telis Kafkas and producer Nigel ║ │
│║ Foxxe he begun recording the songs for the debut ║ │
│║ of SECRETS KEEPER,as Mirage were later renamed. ║ │
│║ The first record deal was offered by U.S label ║ │
│║ Sentinel Steel,then Greek Metal Mad but finally ║ │
│║ it was the also Greek Steel Gallery Records that ║ │
│║ released the debut album of IMAGINERY in 2001 ║ │
│║ entitled "Oceans Divine".Luis' high pitched ║ │
│║ vocals and Bob's fine melodies were 2 things ║ │
│║ that someone could spot from this work but due ║ │
│║ to lack of promotion and distribution,Bob's ║ │
│║ parallel occupation as a member of NIGHTFALL and ║ │
│║ SEPTIC FLESH and his constant desire to release ║ │
│║ a solo instrumental work,kept IMAGINERY out of ║ │
│║ his priorities. Despite this,Bob was always ║ │
│║ composing songs for the second IMAGINERY cd,but ║ │
│║ he still hadn't decide who would be the next ║ │
│║ singer for this new and much heavier ║ │
│║ material.And then was Lasse Mattsson owner of ║ │
│║ Lion Music that sent Bob's new demo tracks to ║ │
│║ Bjorn Jansson,singer of Swedish melodic metal ║ │
│║ band TEARS OF ANGER and made IMAGINERY an active ║ │
│║ band again.Bjorn came in contact with Bob who ║ │
│║ travelled to Sweden and along with bassist Olof ║ │
│║ Sundfeldt of SYSTEM SHOCK (a greek-swedish ║ │
│║ band)and Bjorn they worked on the new songs and ║ │
│║ recorded the vocals and bass in Bjorn's BackBone ║ │
│║ studio.Then Bob returned to Greece,mixed the ║ │
│║ album in Artemis Recording Studio with Mark ║ │
│║ Adrian(who also performed all the drums on the ║ │
│║ cd) and along with the wonderful contributions ║ │
│║ of mighty guitar players like Gus G., Marcel ║ │
│║ Coenen and Michael Harris that nailed some great ║ │
│║ solos on particular tracks,made "Long Lost ║ │
│║ Pride" a must have for every fan of 7 string ║ │
│║ guitar driven Heavy metal music who is in for ║ │
│║ melody, fast rhythms and really unique ║ │
│║ atmosphere only compared to that of bands like ║ │
│║ Children Of Bodom,Symphony X and Ark. ║ │
│║ The lyrics of Bjorn are in their entiety ║ │
│║ anthropocentric,dealing issues of ║ │
│║ relations,human behaviour,the guilt of ║ │
│║ soldiers,haunting nightmares,even reaching to ║ │
│║ the darkest sides of life in "Korozon, the Lord ║ │
│║ Of Evil" and Swedish graphic designer Carl ║ │
│║ Beckston tried in his unique artwork to capture ║ │
│║ this mood in the best possible way. ║ │
│║ IMAGINERY are currently rehearsing in order to ║ │
│║ begin touring for "Long Lost Pride" with a ║ │
│║ release date for Japan set for November'04 and ║ │
│║ for Europe in early 2005. ║ │
