Artist History False Reality, from Brasov, Romania, promotes a melodic death-black musical style with powerful growl vocals.In december 1998 the initiative of Stan Silviu - guitar, Moga Marius - guitar, Tīrsan Cristian - drums and Bota Catalin - bass gave birth to an instrumental gothic-death band, which they named False Reality. Still they realised there was something missing in their music and that leaded to the joining up of Crisan Ioan - vocals, after a couple of months. Moreover, in may 1999 another instrumentist was brought along: Irimie Adrian - keyboards. This event marked a waypoint in the band'e evolution, bringing a new sound to the group. But Adrian's presence in the band was rather short: in autumn 1999 he decidesd to leave the group. His replacement was Popa Lucian, who is the present keyboard player. After some local concerts and after the presence in the "Samus Rock Alive" fest in Satu-Mare (summer 1999), the band began recording its first demo : "Escape from Doom". In august 2000 another instrumentist leaves the band: guitar player Moga Marius. For as while False Reality decides to perform only with one guitar player, but only for a short period of time. In october 2000 Iuga Alexandru became the group's leading guitar player. More concerts followed and gradually, the band started to gain a name in the underground Romanian metal. They performed along other known Romanian bands: Taine, Avatar, Negura Bunget, Iris and along many other new-comming bands. In the summer of 2001 Iuga Alexandru also leaves False Reality and the band decides to keep the one guitar formula. Its componence never changed again. 2001 was a good year for False Reality, along many live shows and a live interview at a national radio station (december 2001) came the signing of a contract with Karsten Hamre's "Sidekick Records". Under this label the first EP - "Tales of Eternity" was released in the spring of 2002. In march 2002 the band had it's first TV appearance, a live performance at the "Metalheart" fest in Constanta. In 21 april 2002 the band performed a concert with God and Hathor in Union Jack Club Bucharest. There was a great show...

Press Reviews From Gods Of Music (www.godsofmusic.com) ARTIST: FALSE REALITY SONG: VIRGINS CURSE GENRE: METAL / GOTHIC METAL SIMILAR: EYEHATEGOD The Facts: This song is from a gothic/black metal band from Brasov, Romania called False Reality. "Virgins Curse" is the name of the song. It features full force growling vocals, keyboard parts that are both rhythmic and melodic, dual guitars, bass, and double pedal drums. It has a few tempo changes, which is a nice change from the radio-ready metal I hear so much of today. My Opinion: I consider the music on this song to be of a pretty professional caliber. The keyboard does some pretty nice harmony parts. There are some decent guitar playing and chord progressions through out the song. Unfortunately, the vocals ruin it for me. I have been listening to metal music for over 12 years now, and most the time I can hear through the growling of most singers. In this case, I canā€™t even tell if this guy is singing in English or Romanian. He also has an effect on his voice that distorts it even further. Since the average listener identifies with the lyrics most, I had to give this a 5.0. As always, please make your own decision, especially if you love gothic metal.
