At Vance

Germany’s In Vance was formed by vocalist Oliver Hartmann (ex-Centers) and guitarist Olaf Lenk (ex-Velvet Viper) in 1998, along with such qualifications on the resumes, they soon obtained a cope with Shark Information. Rainald Konig (acoustic guitar), Ulli Muller (keyboards), Jochen Schnur (bass) and Spoony (drums) curved out the line-up that documented 1999’s No Get away debut — a standard-issue item of melodic Germanic power metallic if ever there is one. European followers lapped it up, as well as the group’s second opus, 2000’s Heart of Metal (featuring fresh drummer Jurgen Lucas) was a shock strike in Japan and urged At Vance to quickly concern a follow-up in 2001’s Dragonchaser. Hardly pausing for breathing, the next yr saw the music group switching to AFM Information, dropping their bassist and key pad player, liberating their fourth recording Only Human, after that hitting the street across European countries with Rhapsody and Angel Dirt. Several personnel adjustments ensued in 2003, as At Vance welcomed fresh vocalist Mats Leven and bassist Sascha Feldmann before documenting their following L.P. The Bad in You.
