Chalice (Australia)
Информация о группе
The origins of Chalice lie in early ’97, when the talents of vocalist/keyboardist/composer Shiralee and drummer/lyricist Adrian combined with the intention of creating original dark and emotional music. Since that time an experienced collective of musicians has gathered to form a unique musical experience that blends elements of musical complexity, emotion-laden heaviness, and strong melodic composition – Chalice. After the release of their promotional CD "Chronicles of Dysphoria" in ’98, Chalice signed to Modern Invasion Music. "Chronicles of Dysphoria" was then re-recorded (with the addition of Justin's guitarwork and utilising a session violinist), and released in April 2000 on the Modern Invasion label.
Chalice's second full-length album is currently in production, and it displays considerable evolution since the time of "Chronicles...". It is marked by musical growth of the band, both as individuals and as a unit, this growth evident in the composition, arrangements, and performance on the album. The substitution of flute for the violin also adds a new dimension to Chalice's sound.
Fronted by the distinct voice of Shiralee, which alternates between soaring classical and deeper, gutsier vocal styles, Chalice also features Justin and Sean’s interweaving guitar harmonies, intricate leads, and the other-worldly flute of Alana. The multi-faceted arrangements and entrancing melodies are combined with the strong percussive foundation supplied by Adrian’s drumming, and the depth, rhythm and counter-melodies of Mark’s bass-playing. These elements, when coupled with Adrian's expressive, thought-provoking lyrics, constitute a musical act that ultimately defies traditional classification.
