Empty Tremor history begins in 1994 in
Italy . At first the Band was called "Noise Pollutione".
The musicians was between 12 &16 years
old. They made " Metallica, Guns & Roses, Pink Folyd,
Led Zeppelin cover Songs. In early 95
the Band changed their name to "EMPTY TREMOR" introducing
defenitely some changes in line up. Their
former singer De Paoli Davide left the band and Matteo Babbini
joined the band . At the end of
the Summer a Demo Tape, 1st version of "APOCOLOKYNTOSYS"
was issued that met a great success but
no deal came.
The 1st vesion "APOCOLOKYNTOSYS" demo
tape has had the following tracks :
- De Magia
Veterum (which become later "The Eyes Of Universe")
- Theater
Of Drama (which become later "Rules Of Time")
- No More
Fear *
- Apocolokyntosys
(which become later "Apocolokyntosys")
- Alone In
The Dark (which become later "The Message Keeper")
- Afterglow
Forever (which become later "Running Rusty Rails")
- Prisoners
In Chains (which has been seperated later the songs: "Middleman" + "Slice
Of Life")
- Marvel Of
Insanity (which become later "Screaming Loud The Sins Of The World")
* This song has never been released.
Note : The songs have had completly different
lyrics and vocal melodys writen mostly by the singer
Matteo Babini.Also there are some changes in the arangments in the final
album version.
So in 1996, they worked again on their
Project, changed their singer. Matteo Babini left the band and
Giovanni De Luigi comes in. The 2nd version
of "APOCOLOKYNTOSYS" have been self produced
by the Band itself. Then, some Labels
contacted the group and to discuss about some possibility of deal.
The deal was signed in August 96 with
Pick Up Records for Italy and in early 97 with Rising Sun Records
(Germany) for Europe and also with Fandango
Records in Japan.
The result was the Official Release Of
"APOCOLOKYNTOSYS".
Empty Tremor have reached great reviews
with their awesome masterpice "APOCOLOKYNTOSYS"
and soon a fan base was builded all around
the world.
The band were discribed as "the new generation
of prog metal" and they were compared to prog gods
like DREAM
THEATER, SHADOW GALLERY, LEMUR VOICE and SUPERIOR to name a few.
In 1997, the band have given some concerts
in Italy. They also opened a show for ROYAL HUNT who are
a great neo-classical prog band from Denmark.
During these concerts, Empty Tremor also played some
new songs
(mostly instrumental tunes) and recieved great reaction from the audience.
We (the Fan Club) get in contact with
the band in September 97 just after buying their 1st album.
We become friends and soon, we dicided
to support this great talented young band.
"THE EYES OF UNIVERSE" was formed
in January 1998 as The Official Empty Tremor Fan Club.
1998 is a very importent year for the band
and their future. Empty Tremor have sold about 5000 copies
of "Apocolokyntosys" and hopefully with
our support and help from all progressive music fans all around
the world (mostly through the Internet),
they will have better promotions and will become more popular.
The band is now searching for a distributer
for North and South America. Meanwhile, they also working
really hard for the next album (their
2st album) which should be finished by the end of the year.
