ARCHEON

 

Archeon

    ARCHEON was formed around spring and summer of 2001 in Poland. Michał Kostrzyński (lead guitarist) and Michał Tomaszewski (Rhythmic guitarist) who previously were in a black-metal band, invited Janek Le¶niak, the keyboard player. A long time passed till they found a drummer. Finally Tomek Grochowski joined the band. Missing parts of the band were a singer and the bass player. After a months of searching another member was found - Andrzej Sadrakuła, the bass player. It was more difficult to find the lead singer. A couple of heavy music fans turned up to sing for the band but they didn't last long. In the end this place was taken by Michał Kostrzyński, who also played the lead guitar. It was time to present themselves to a wider audience. Since that time ARCHEON has played several concerts around Poland supporting local metal stars.

In the summer of 2002 the band showed up in a studio to record their single "Dead World". It was recorded at HERTZ Studio in Poland. Sławek and Wojtek Wiesławscy were responsible for the production process. They are known especially because of their brillant work with a well-known in Poland metal bands.

After recording their first single two people left the band - Andrzej Sarakuła (bass) and Michał Tomaszewski (rhythmic guitar). In January 2003 Radek Półrolniczek has become a new guitarist and Grzegorz Jezierski has become a new bass player. For the short time of the bands existence, they received positive feedback. Metal Hammer and Mystic Art had written good reviews. Later on Metal Hammer published an interview with Archeon's leader - Michael Kostrzyński . In March 2003 ARCHEON played several concerts on tour in Poland supporting famous here heavy metal band.

After successful tour the band went back to the studio to work on the material for the debut album "End Of The Weakness". The recording session took place in STUDIO-X in Poland in January 2004. The person who was responsible for the production was Szymon Czech known as a producer of Enter Chaos, Panzer-X (with Peter from "Vader").

With new album came next changes. In may Jarek Kajszaczak has become a new bass player. In last few months Archeon with new bass player played several concerts in Poland (even for 1000-1500 fans) and was shown in VIVA Polska TV in programme "Hell's Kitchen" where people could hear fragments of music and some words about band in interview with Michał Kostrzyń¶ki.

In september 2004 after over 3 years of rockin' , Janek Le¶niak left the band and metal music as well. From that time Archeon played some shows without keys. Audience accepted this change with a lot of enthusiasm. Finally Archeon has found a record company to release their debut "End Of The Weakness". It is Empire Records who release this album and date of premier is planning for 15th June 2005.
