Growth from Soil to Eyescale

We stared our journey in the shadows somewhere in 1996, when we first gathered together
under the project name Soil. We have a quite diverse musical background, and it can be observed in our music. We don't try or even want to define our music because we draw our influences from so many different sources. You have perhaps heared bands ranging from Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Front Line Assembly, Neurosis, etc. In the begining of 1998 the first album Overexposure was released. It was a one year mission in the studio, studying, learning, inventing and creating. We still wanted to grow musically, and started an even more ambitious project by the begining of 1999, which got the name Neogenesis, and the band adopted a new name: Eyescale. During the process our colors have darkened, our vision turn wider.
Our mission to create radical sound imaginary become clearer, philosophically deeper. Politics, organized religion and western culture give us bad headaches and you can hear it from our lyrics. We have pretty much lost our faith on humanity and future. Everything seems to be crumbling down the drains these days. Unless something really radical takes place, the human kind will shortly wipe itself out, although that might not be such a bad thing if you really think about it. Human psyche in this turmoil, that's what we are studying. So we keep on playing dark colors reflecting from the last ray of the sun. Or do we hope the new plant is seeding in the ruins waiting for the new sun, phoenix rising from the ashes left behind by us. That there is a morning after long dreadful night. Neogenesis.
