The Kolios Project was started in 2002 by guitarist, keyboardist, and composer Ryan Denzer-King (Epitaph of Seikolos, ex-Vailala Madness). Frustrated by the lack of like-minded musicians at his university, he instead turned to internet forums to find other people with personal recording capabilities who were interested in his kind of music. Soon after the start of the project, Ryan found Manfred Dikkers (At War with Self, ATM Project), a capable jazz drummer with a set of V-drums and an interest in progressive music. Ryan and Manfred recorded the first two songs in the latter part of 2002, still looking for other musicians to join them. During this period Alan Goldstein (Aghora) recorded several tracks with them, but later dropped out due to his busy schedule. During 2003 keyboardist Matteo Borselli (ex-Anthelion) recorded two tracks, but eventually had to drop out because of other obligations. After lacking a full-time bassist since Alan's departure (during which time bassist Jan-Mikael Erakare contributed to one track, and Ryan recorded bass for another), the band finally found bassist Pablo Carrascosa (Tekne). Pablo's improvisatory style fit in well with the technical and experimental side of The Kolios Project. Guest soloists include Santiago Dobles (Aghora), Tymon Kruidenier (Cynic, Exivious) and Andre Verholen. Currently the band is working on their first full-length album, which they are hoping to finish early in 2010.

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.
