The first incarnation of the band was under the name Aslan, after a character in the novel The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis. With money earned from local shows and T-shirt sales, they recorded a self-titled demo tape in 1986. After discovering another band with the same name, they changed theirs to Psychotic Waltz and recorded a new four-song demo in 1988.
In 1990, they debuted with their independently financed debut A Social Grace, which was released in Europe via a licensing deal with the German label Rising Sun Productions. The album was very well received in Europe, being named album of the month in some European magazines, The situation in US was more difficult, as the album was released under the band’s own Sub Sonic Records label. With practically no promotion and minimal distribution, it remained an extremely underground item. In 1991, the band appeared in the Dynamo Festival in Holland.
After the tour, the band’s guitarist, Dan Rock, suffered a near-fatal accident after falling off a bridge while rappelling.[3] The band went on to record their second album, Into the Everflow. The album was recorded from August–October, 1992, at Phoenix Studios in Herne, Germany, and was produced by Mekong Delta’s main man, Ralph Hubert.

Neue_regel_ Both PW and DT are gods, there is no point in comparing gods, because in the Prog Pantheon they all have a special place in prog history. (End) Amen.
-
BurningRemnant DT is not shitty, and PW are equally genius to them. Stop being elitist proggers. You behave like some blackers who only like it true and if you're more well-known inside the metal world you sold black metal to the MTV. How stupid is that?

krocronos far better than shitty Dream Theater(2).....
