Whoever said
A) Old school death metal band from Sweden. In the vein of the Swedish gods Entombed and Dismember, etc. Started out in the end of 1990 but were never satisfied with their demo recordings and never released anything. The band eventually died out but was resurrected by Jimmy in 2008. In his own words: "I was too nostalgic and said to myself that: Now, many years after the band died, my old songs must be recorded and a demo shall be made, so I started the band again on my own".
1) Progressive rock band, 1970s, France With endless comparisons to King Crimson, Shylock remains one of the premier French symphonic bands. Other comparisons are made to Arachnoïd and Pulsar. Darkness is the key here. Their influence can be felt in such bands as Xaal, Minimum Vital, Tiemko, and Änglagård. 1977's "Gialorgues" was recorded with the primary membership consisting of drummer André Fisichella, guitarist Frédéric l'Épée (who went on to play with Philharmonie), and keyboardist Didier Lustig.
Four music-makers thrown together from the deep reaches of Parkstone (and Wimborne), bonded by their love for music and magic...and apparently 8-balls.
Upon discovering that they all played different instruments (which was handy) and that they could actually play these instruments together as one kind of melody-producing harmonic unit, forming a band seemed like a pretty nifty idea.
All they needed now was a really cool name. Alas, no plan is perfect...
