Megace biography
MEGACE were formed in Hamburg, Germany in early 1988 by Melanie BOCK (Vocals), J�rg SCHR�R (Guitar) and Michael M�LLER (Bass). Already with a few line-up changes in the first few months, the band released its first demo, "The Sign of the Ape" in October of the same year with Kai Alexander SPIEKERMANN on drums and Klaus Florian 'Dirty' M�LLER (Ex-Anesthesia) on guitars. The demo was recorded in Rockrooms Hamburg-Harburg studio and sold about 550 copies. During the period up to 1990, the line-up saw further changes, among which founding member Michael M�LLER was replaced by Christian 'Chriddle' WULFF (ex-DROWNING IN REAL), and the band performed several gigs. "This is the News" is the title of the band's second demo, which shows a shift to experimental thrash metal. The demo was recorded in Arschweh - Studio Hamburg and produced and engineered by Kai HANSEN (ex-HELLOWEEN, GAMMA RAY). The following year saw the band performing with big acts such as ICED EARTH and BLIND GUARDIAN.

In 1991 they participated in CD compilations and also released their first full-length album, "Human Errors" with Carsten SCHUBERT on drums. The album was recorded in Dust Music Studio, Hilchenbach, released by 1MF-Records, sold about 5500 copies and includes the complete second demo and new material. Changes in line-up continue in 1992, leaving the drummer seat empty for about 9 months and with Stefan SPEIDEL (ex-DROWNING IN REAL) replacing M�LLER on guitars. Their third demo came in 1994, entitled "Pseudo Identity" with Stephan GORA on drums. It was recorded in Hansen Studio Hamburg, engineered and produced by Dirk SCHL�CHTER (GAMMA RAY) and sold only 350 copies. The final change in the line-up was that of the drummer, with Andreas D�WEL taking charge later the same year. Problems with their record company saw the band recording material at various places for several years, not released at the time, performing in various shows and participating in CD compilations. Their second (and final) full-length album finally came in May 1999, entitled "Inner War". Most of the recordings took place in Arschweh Studio Hamburg and the album was released through Angular Records and distributed by SPV GmbH. The last two years of the band?s history included several gigs and unreleased recordings. Due to musical differences, founding member J�rg SCHR�R left the band in September 2001 which led to MEGACE splitting up.

The four remaining members, BOCK, WULFF, SPEIDEL and D�WEL, with the addition of a long-time MEGACE fan, Oliver RADDATZ (guitars) formed STEP INTO LIQUID in 2002 and have taken a different, but nevertheless still progressive, musical path. MEGACE should appeal to fans of sophisticated, technical thrash metal in the vein of early SIEGES EVEN, VOIVOD and MEKONG DELTA.
