Bloody hell, they cottoned on quick haven't they?! I noticed Seventh One are on the CD, I remember someone plugging them in this forum awhile back, still got the mp3s...

...sounds like a cool book!

 

[Eagle]

I'll have to invest in this

Yeah I've got a smapler cd with some Seventh One and they're impressive!

 

[sean-intense]

I guess we may be in it too then as i notice it's by Garry Sharpe Young. He did our page on Rock Detector (don't know if he's updated it recently?) i met him whilst he managed Marshall Law.

 

[sean-intense]

Oh cool, he's updated it with Adrian joining the band. I see Shadowkeep are on the cd with the book, good publicity.

The book arrived today and it's pretty good. Also the sampler cd is nice.

 

[Symphony]

Eagle...would you recommend the book?

 

[Eagle]

I've had a quick browse and it's got some good info in it so I would recommend it.

Anyway this is what it says about you guys.

POWER QUEST

UK / NEW ZEALAND / ITALY

A symphonic inclined Metal act in the Euro tradition was born out of keyboard player Steve Williams departure from London Power Metal act DRAGONHEART (later DRAGONFORCE) in March 2001. Williams also had prior experience with DOG DAY SUNRISE. Joining him would be former DRAGONHEART and SHADOW KEEP New Zealand born bassist Steve Scott and D.R.S. guitarist Adam Bickers. Also joining the unit would be Sam Totman, also operational as a current member of DRAGONFORCE and Black Metal act DEMONIAC, and in April 2002 POWER QUEST pulled in Italian singer Alessio Garavello or ARTHEMIS.

The band increased their Italian contingent with the recruitment of a third guitarist another ARTHEMIS member Andrea Martongelli, in July. Maetongelli was drawn in just in time to contribute guitar solos to the debut album ‘Wings Of Forever’

Short but sweet but you all get further mentions with some of your other former/currnet bands such as Dragonforce, Arthemis and Shadow Keep.
