Artist History Dilemma Project was formed in fall (autumn) 2000. Esa, Björn and mikael used to play in Swedish symphonic progressive band ANOZIA back in late 80´s. In those days they played symphonic instrumental rock. The band took a short break which then lasted 12 years (weird story) but during the years Esa, Björn and Mikael kept in contact and sometimes jammed in various lineups. Esa and Mikael also played together in Lex Credo (which later on got disolved and Esa went on to form Cryonic Temple. Esa is the main songwriter/ leadguitarist in Cryonic Temple, who are signed to Undergroundsymphony and will release their debutalbum "Chapter I" worldwide very soon). When Björn got back permanently to Borlänge, the guys jammed out very often and decided to start a band again. Through a mutual friend (thanks Peter) they got in contact with basswizard Einar who also plays with PW16 and some other cool&weird bands. DILEMMA PROJECT'S MUSIC IS INSTRUMENTAL SYMPHONIC ROCK WITH MELODIC PROGRESSIVE METAL AND FOLKMUSIC INFLUENCES. Some liveshows has been done. Even though the music is now instrumental they are IN SEARCH OF A SINGER.
