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.

@Greg: You're exactly right. I never even heard of them until Matt hopped on board for "Immortal." Glad I checked out their older stuff, too. "Legend of the Bone Carver" is a masterpiece.

Having Matt Barlow doing vocals on the last album was the best thing for Pyramaze. Seriously, I would imagine that a lot of people checked them out just because of Matt. Once those people heard them I'm sure they became fans and will remain fans even without Matt on vocals.

I'll miss Lance King's vocals, but I think Urban breed's vocals will suit Pyramaze too.

Hey 17 year old..Barlow was awesome in Pyramaze

Matt Barlow was AWESOME in Pyramaze, but I think Lance King suited their overall sound better because it made them more unique. Matt Barlow was awesome though because it reminded me of older Iced Earth which was sweet. I have never really heard Urban breed before but I remember hearing a small sample and he sounds much more similar to Lance King than Matt Barlow, so their older songs will probably sound pretty awesome at lives.

matt barlow is actually a better over all vocalist but he is not the best fit for the band, and lance king was the best for the band. hope fully urban breed can find the medium. but ill still buy there next ablum even if he dosn't, lol

I wouldn't say a marlin every time, Matt Barlow disgraced this band with his horrid vocals. I hope that Urban Breed can bring some dignity and follow well in the footsteps of Lance King.

Urban Breed is an amazing vocalist. You can listen to him in Bloodbound and Tad Morose, both of which you can find here on last.fm. I'm amazed that Pyramaze can somehow managed to haul in a marlin every time they look for a vocalist.

The last album was pretty solid, but not so special. Melancholy Beast was one hell of a metal ride. I hope they will get back to that sound.
