Garden of Shadows Quotes

I'd say that we began in '95. I was playing with some friends of mine and we decided to start trying to make a serious band. So we started looking for a second guitarist and we found Mary in the summer of '95. When she joined, she had the exact same musical ideas and goals as me so we started right away going in a heavy direction. The bassist and drummer we had at the time - they weren't as into the direction we were going in and they also had school obligations. They left shortly after Mary joined. So then from the summer of '95 to until the fall of '96 we worked with various drummers, none of whom worked out, and we didn't get a whole lot done until we met up with Bret, our current drummer, in the fall of '96. He was in a band called Sadistic Torment, which was a brutal death band, and they had broken up just prior to his joining our band. When he joined, everything really clicked into place and we started practicing regularly. That is when we came up with the band name and we recorded 'Heart of the Corona', our debut demo in April of '97.

The majority of it is centered around Mary and myself. Generally we'll both write riffs at home all the time. We'll get together and see what riffs go together well and start trying to write a song. Usually it will go in steps or we'll put several riffs together to make a section and then we'll think of bridges to merge sections together.
