The first members are Hugues Tourinan (bass), Jérôme
Tourinan (guitar) and Cyril Queneau-Pitol (sax). Then
came François Pouvreau (keyboards), Seb
Ferraz (drums) and Adrien Gautier (vocals).
The band quickly decides to create its own compositions
and makes a bet for proposing 'a powerful and
melodic progressive metal with sax and French
lyrics'.
Even if the technical is real, it's mastered without
giving way to demonstration ; that's what makes
HYSKAL an 'accessible' band.
Their influences are various (from jazz to metal power
and progressive rock), such as Dream Theater,
Pantera, Planet X, Symphony X, Pink Floyd etc...
Compositions quickly became an introspective
concept album : Insight.
As its music is not an elitist one, the band gains a largest
audience, thanks to sax and its French songs.
A five titles demo came into being in 2003, and
Michael Lepond, from Symphony X, came across it.
He sent an encouraging e-mail : 'The songs were
put together and arranged quite well. The musicians
played great and the overall production was better
sounding than most of the demos that I get from
bands'
The concerts followed on each other and the band
decides to produce its first album.
- September 2003 : 1st part of Subsonic
The year of 2004 was dedicated to recording, without
neglecting concerts : 'Une formule très acérée, complète et inspirée.
HYSKAL plonge le feu de leurs consciences dans le
maelström mélodique et furieux des influences de
Dream Theater et Pantera, révélant lumineux et incandescent
un métal progressif de forte stature, identitaire
et énergique. Agissant sur scène en pleine maîtrise
des compos, l'âme d'HYSKAL vibre à la fois de puissance
et d'émotion, un son riche et expressif servant
magnifiquement un chant en français '(Sortir label
Charente 13.03.04)
- May 2004 : 1st part of Manigance
First album 'INSIGHT' receive a lot of reviews from mags and webzines from France, Canada, Sweden, Japan, Germany (clic on CD) ...
I am now
recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These
cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment)
for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon
Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute
tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him
(Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to
the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting
rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection,
and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will
be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for
the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be
shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of
purchase!!!

H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)
