Pyramaze
Country of origin: Denmark Location: Hjordkær, Syddanmark Status: Active Formed in: 2001 Genre: Power Metal/Rock Themes: Fantasy, Myths, Legends, Feelings, Life Current label: AFM Records Years active: 2001-present Pyramaze is a Danish power metal band formed in 2001. Originally formed by guitarist Michael Kammeyer in 2002, Pyramaze came out of the gate with the solid and classic Lance King fronted releases of Melancholy Beast (2004) and Legend of the Bone Carver (2006). The band parted ways with Lance in 2006 and Matt Barlow (Iced Earth, Ashes of Aries) joined as the new frontman in 2007, albeit only to see the release of Immortal (2008). With Matt headed back to Iced Earth and Kammeyer deciding to retire from the band as well, the remaining members were left at a crossroads (bassist Niels Qvist also decided to part ways at this time). Jonah, Toke and Morten rallied together and decided that the legacy of Pyramaze must go on. They asked longtime producer and good friend of the band, Jacob Hansen, to join as the new guitarist and he graciously accepted. A suitable vocalist for the band was also needed, queuing singer Terje Haroy to join in 2013. This new incarnation of the group resulted in 2015’s Disciples of the Sun, which was met with great critical acclaim and reinvigorated both the band and the fans of Pyramaze. The band was joined by previous vocalists Lance King and Matt Barlow for a legendary performance at ProgPower USA 2016 which was subsequently filmed and has yet to be released as a special DVD set.
