Biography

There are three bands named Eidolon: 1) a Canadian power metal band; 2) an electronic musician from the USA; and 3) a progressive rock band from France.

1. The band EIDOLON dates back to 1993 - when guitarist Glen Drover and drummer Shawn Drover made the decision to start up a recording studio and concentrate on musical recordings.

At the time, EIDOLON was a neo-metal instrumental band writing non-vocalized recordings - and, although it proved to be a challenge, it was soon realized that a real band needed to be formed in order to make the true musical statement they wanted to make.

So, after several studio upgrades ( which to this day never ends !! ) Attempts were made to find band members to complete EIDOLON and record which would eventually be their 1st released recording “ZERO HOUR”

1996 saw the release of “ZERO HOUR ” Which, at the time featured the following band members:

Glen Drover - guitars
Shawn Drover - drums
Brian Soulard - vocals
Criss Bailey - bass
Slav Siminic - guitars

“ZERO HOUR ” was released on EIDOLON’s own label and through different forms of distribution, was released in Canada, America, Japan, Australia and parts of Europe. The record received great reviews in many magazines in the above mentioned countries through various rock magazines, etc. Though happy with the reception ZERO HOUR received, the band parted ways with guitarist, Slav Siminic.

Now a 4 piece band, EIDOLON would soon start writing and recording what would soon be their 1st full concept record - ” SEVEN SPIRITS “.

    All the albums are good IMO, I would go for their 2 latest albums (after PO), Apostles Of Defiance and Coma Nation, a lot more thrash sounding that the earlier albums!

    I got the Parallel Otherworld a few days ago. Just AWESOME. The External Call, Ghost World and Spirit Sanctuary are my fave tracks. (hell I'd put the whole album) But I NEED more! What should be the next album from them that I get? I heard Nightmare World was great.

    I discovered this band this summer thx to Last Fm recommendations and WOW, I really like this band :D A nice mix of trash/power/progressive metal. Kinda sad the older vocalist left and was replaced by the one from Pagan's Mind, he isn't nearly as good for the Eidolon sound...
