Formed in 1990, German progressive metallic element band Vanden Plas combined the creativeness of progressive rock with the hostility of metal. Consisting of Stephen Lill on guitars, Torsten Reichert on sea bass, Andreas Lill on drums, Andy Kuntz on vocals and Günter Werno on keyboards, Vanden Plas issued a heavy many singles in the '90s -- in that same decennium they issued trine full-length albums and an EP, all of which became progressively more than adventuresome and modern and helped establish their European winnow base. Their low gear full-length record album, the self-produced Colour Temple, came kO'd in 1994 and featured a straight-ahead metal style that highlighted Lill's guitar playacting. That album would finally be reissued by 2 other labels, giving the band more than exposure and chasten commercial success. With their future album, the EP AcCult, they went in a completely different direction, making an altogether acoustic record album that contained four-spot absorbing covers, including Ray Charles' "Georgia on My Mind," and "Kayleigh" by Marillion. The album was a critical success and gave Vanden Plas the mandate to be even more than creative with their side by side record album, 1997's The God Thing. That record album ventured off in prog-metal soil, combination LIll's great guitar arcs with heavily orchestrated sections, viewing a heavy Dream Theater influence. Continuing in the same tradition was their 1999 release (on Inside Out Music America in the U.S.) Far Off Grace, which was followed in 2000 with a mid-priced live album, Life of Live. 2002's Beyond Daylight was next, screening the mathematical group growing into a more than experimental and technically difficult outfit.
