Their
roots
The history of Entropy
stretches as far back to 1989, when Erik and Tom
presented their musical ideas to Martin. Then,
Daniel got convinced by the material and joined
shortly after. Before Casper joined, they already
did two gigs at small festivals.
The demo tape, "It's
time" led to a contract with the German
record company Gorgon
Records, where they recorded their first
CD, "Become
a God". That CD introduced Stephan
as their future keyboard player after Casper was
forced to leave the band due to personal circumstances.
With Stephan providing the mood setting synthesizer,
they gathered the material to record the 3 track
CD, "Perception".
Just before they were scheduling the recordings,
Maaike joined the band. With her arrival, the
overall sound of Entropy changed definitely.
With "Perception",
Entropy
landed their next contract - this time with Xymphonia
Records. And now, almost 12 years later,
there is "Echoes from the past", which,
in many ways, is an appropriate title.
This CD also introduces Esther as the 7th member.
Over time, the music of Entropy
has been categorized as: symphonic metal, progressive
metal, melodic heavy metal and gothic metal. As
a constant, Entropy
still describes its music as "Cortex Metal",
since it is music from the brain.

Their
music
The music itself sets a different kind of environment,
apart from the usual heavy metal "noise".
The members individual style complement each other,
producing a music that's tight and locked. The
keyboards define the mood of each song, while
the guitar riffs and bass lines are distinctive
and melodic. The vocals prove that one doesn't
have to growl to sing heavy metal songs.
For them the quality is more important than the
amount of music produced. Every production made
its own impact to prove that.
Don't be misguided through by their recording
activities because on stage they're able to bring
forth the same sound.
Solid and complex;
like the matter itself.
