TIMELINE is a new band formed out of the ashes of a former project that lasted almost 10 years. The remaining members began the process of recruiting replacement players so the band could continue in another form. This process has been completed and the new line-up is ready to showcase this evolution. We are pursuing original progressive material focusing on melody and a "big" sound. Our writing has been influenced by the prog rock/metal acts of the past 30 years such as Kansas, Marillion, and Dream Theater. However, strong emphasis is placed on accessibility and this has moved us in a direction that is similar to the newer, primarily European prog acts who are part of the resurgence for this genre of music.
The result is a blend of tight, melodic, and sometimes complex songs using multiple time signatures and with lyrical messages that mix symbolic stories and metaphor. The current philosophy of the band is to continue a direction of writing that challenges the listener to think both about the music itself and the message of the song and which, holistically, we describe as "intelligent music". We believe this is sorely lacking in today''s mainstream music and one of the reasons that progressive rock is beginning to become popular again.
The new line-up has grown the band to 6 members. Instrumentation now consists of two guitars, keyboards, bass, drums/percussion and a lead vocalist. The material has evolved both musically and vocally with arrangements that provide for a diverse sound lush in harmonies from the instruments and voices.
The band will begin to showcase itself and in parallel record and distribute our material to generate interest in the project. We are a prolific and forward-looking band that hopes to touch people with our music.
