Without Face
Without Face is a Hungarian progressive metal band formed in Veszprém, Hungary in 1997. The band features a dual female and male vocal line-up, with gothic, progressive and thrash metal overtones. Their lyrics are influenced by the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
In 1998, Without Face recorded its first self-titled demo Without Face. Constant touring and the demo resulted in a deal for their first album Deep Inside with Hammer Music Productions, in 2000. Without Face also appeared on a number of the label's metal music compilations. Their first album was subsequently re-released in the United States with the Dark Symphonies Records label.
The band were approached by English producer Lee Barrett, from Elitist Records for a four album deal and worldwide release in 2002. A full length album, Astronomicon was released in late 2002 and received favourable reviews from the metal music press. It was awarded "Album of the Month" in the English music magazine Metal Hammer. The band are in the process of finishing recording a new album for release in 2005.
