Pyramaze started in the winter of 2001 in Hjordkær, Denmark when Michael Kammeyer left his former band, Damion. After the split, Michael took a short break from music to clear his mind, gathering new inspiration. After a few months, the idea of writing a complete self-financed album of his own material formed in his mind. The following months were spent in intensive song-writing mode, and by the summer of 2002 Michael found himself with enough material for a complete album. The time had now come to find a name and the ideal musicians for this new band. It was then that Pyramaze began to take form.
The line-up
He didn’t have to look far to find the first two musicians, as local drummer Morten Gade Sørensen and bassist Niels Kvist immediately jumped on the opportunity to join Michael in his quest. The next person to sign on was American keyboardist Jonah Weingarten, who Michael had met over the Internet. The newborn band began rehearsing the written material on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean: the Danish guys on one side, and Jonah in the U.S. They sent demos back and forth combined with many phone conferences as part of the creative process. With a core band around him, Michael then booked the studio to record the debut album. He hired on the well-known producer Jacob Hansen, a man with a long list of fantastic productions behind him, ranging from Hatesphere and Mercenary to Manticora and Falconer, to name a few.

Lance was great :/ Urban Breed is also good and his voice is similar to Lance's so I think the new album will be kick ass! :)

Lance is the best vocalist for this band. Barlow's vocal is not compatible with pyramaze's melody

XSMRTx, nope, Lance sang on Melancholy Beast and Legend of the Bone Carver, Barlow sang on Immortal. 2 singers, not 3. the next album will have Urban Breed singing.

Meh, I think Matt Barlow's effort with Pyramaze was better then anything he's done in Iced Earth since SWTWC. I really like it. Lance King was definitely awesome too though I have the feeling he won't be coming back :/

I loved Immortal but I am glad Matt is back with Iced Earth. [2] In My Opinion, Pyramaze is Lance King, and Iced Earth is Matt Barlow.
