About KOI

The idea of a band was born somewhere around 2000-2001, when we got our first instruments, started writing lyrics and drawing logos and the usual deal.Obviously the idea and goal was very different back then, now we simply don't have a goal with music since it'd be very dull once you've reached that goal. We started out strictly as a metal band, but very early on the advantages of not being restricted by any musical boundaries became clear to us. Still at the end of the day what's equally or even more important and what we aim for, is to always have something that identifies us to write meaningful music with a direction, trying to perfectly connect everything, to have a red line, feeling or thought behind every piece. It would be impossible for me to shortly sum us up as a band somehow, since nothing is carved in stone, everything we write is what we felt like writing when we wrote it, our only guideline is to try to make something new and fresh, surprise ourselves, to find those special chills that get fewer yet stronger the deeper you dig. The whole band started out with music together and grew into musicians together. I think that is one of the main reasons that's keeping us together, eventhough we have done nothing besides writing music and creating ideas through the first 6-7 years. We now feel eager and prepared to take the step further.

ARCHAEA - New Song Up!	Jun 4 2009 11:47 AM Kåjj! Gillar er bakgrundsbild :o Den ser Salt ut ;) ^^ //Mac
DREAMSCAPE Online Now!	May 26 2009 11:03 AM hi! iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape. we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try. but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band... 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!)
