The Drastic space-ship started its journey through the interstellar spaces in 1995, when Chris Buchman recorded his first demo-tape, "Creator of Feelings".

This little piece of melancholic art was selected as "best demo" by Metal Hammer, Metal Shock and Flash on planet earth, and reached the top-ten on Mars and Saturn.

The Plutonians are looking forward to listening to these five extremely emotional songs, but some problems, due to the well-known slowness of the Italian postal service, are making it difficult to send the cassette there before the new millenium...

Anyway, in 1996, an intergalactic label (Beyond... prod.) started the distribution of the demo-tape in the cosmic underground.

Chris had thousands of deal-proposal, but having been drugged and tortured by

Beyond... prod., "spontaneously" decided to sign a contract with this label...

Reduced to slavery, Chris worked hard on the new stuff for more than two years and finally, in 1998 gave to the (cosmic) light his debut full length de-luxe digipack CD titled "Thieves of Kisses".

8 new songs of pure cosmoheroic melancholia: unearthly female vocals, romantic

keyboards and a powerful guitar riffing will take you into another dimension!

Lyrics are written in English, Italian and Polish: dark introspective poetry with an avantgarde touch...

Drastic started this project with the idea of a total experience: an uncompromised voyage through our deepest feelings and strongest emotions, flying on the enchanted wings of art, among dying planets and shining supernovas, but above all, over the mediocrity and the trends of the 20th century.

Now, close your eyes, listen...

... and discover the infinite.
