REALM

Realm was formed back in the summer of 1985 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with a vision of creating heavy futuristic music. Through the release of 'Perceptive Incentive' in 1985 and the landmark 'Final Solution' in 1986, Realm made huge waves through the metal underground selling thousands of tapes independent of any record label. The band signed to the up and coming Roadrunner Records label in 1988 and quickly released their first album 'Endless War' featuring their now classic rendition of the Beatle's 'Eleanor Rigby'. In 1990, Realm released their much anticipated follow-up, 'Suiciety', which found the band delving further into their unique progressive metal sound, while resurrecting a few old classics like 'Knee Deep in Blood' and 'Final Solution'. Realm continued creating new groundbreaking material as well as covering the King Crimson classic 'One More Red Nightmare'. The band went on to record another album's worth of material that remains to this day un-released, but is arguably some of the band's finest efforts. Realm dissolved in 1992, but not without having a huge and lasting influence on the likes of many modern metal bands, as evidenced by the high demand of their out of print releases. 'Endless War' and 'Suiciety' were both digitally remastered and re-issued worldwide in 2006. The re-issues include expanded inserts, new photos, liner notes by guitarist Takis Kinis, and bonus tracks not found on the original releases.
