1986, ByTorbjorn Dybsand(Drums) and Rune Hansen(Guitar), two Norwegian, Blind Orphans was formed. They changed their band name from "Big Boners" to "Blind Orphans", it ended up with Dybsand, Hansen and Sven Kaare Sunde(Vocal), Bjorn Thommassen(Bass), Lars Christian Narum(Keyboard), via the member changing with several times. They were developing live performance activity. It says that it was playing the cover music of any Genesis, Jethro Tull, Marillion, these progressive rock band, in addition to the original music at the stage. Also, it was wrestling with the fact to play classic music in the HM style as the interesting try and so on, too.
As shown in this thing, too, they mainly give synphonic rock Peter Gabriel's Genesisin their favorite artist in those days with that it underwent a big influence seeming.
At the same time, a member is influenced in the bands of Heavy Rock like NWOBHM , Deep Purple and Thin Lizzy , too.
This thing is the point that the interest is deep, being to tell when their musical-ness is the fusing of the synphonic part and the agressive heavy part.
They who got a good reaction in live performance with several times which in 1989 and was performed in the country had an ambition to project with the following becoming. It was sound recording of leaving its own material as the source. However, Bjorn and Lars left a band immediately before in the economic reason. As for the left member, there was not replenishment by the new member, SvenKaare took charge of the base, Dybsand took charge of the keyboard and recording was begun. 8 pieces of songs, all songs which was recorded at this time was composed byDybsand and he did until arrangement. In it, 1 song was made cut out and downed with 7 pieces of left songs in the track for the demonstration tape "Blindleading the blind" which is their source in this way was complete. They spent 24,000 pounds then, it was recorded and quality of the sound was the one which much exceeds the level of the demonstration tape more.
The degree of the album which was left as this demonstration tape of the completion is high dreadfully. While particular about progressive rock style, the time occasion hard lock be the approach to make a face peep and it let's be possible to say that it is near the hard lock style of the mainstream now in Japan strangely. It was mainstream even if the band of BonJovi, Skid Row and many party-rock musicians placed in the chart in Europe and if saying 1989, there was not space which the band of the style like them enters. They are the band to have gone out of to "early in 10 years" HR/HM scene !.
After this recording was end, they began negotiation for the record company and Deal wining in Europe to course.
There were not that there was a situation of the scene like being above-mentioned, too, and that the answer which is good for them was brought about at last.
It cannot help saying that the record company in those days was just "Blind" at all !
They had spent a large amount expense and still, they who could not get Deal were disappointed.
1990, the band had dissolved.
That demonstration tape album which had a blaze like the jewel, too, lay secret darkly, being idle.
... until a strange Japanese Metal Mania wakes it up 10 years later !!!
After Blind Orphans disperses, Dybsand joined to the band which is called "Time".
It says that it was concentrating on hippie style such as SteppenWolf and Led Zeppelin there.
It is and flute player still seems to have been covering JethroTull, and so on, preferably to the member.
However, because there were persons who hardly practice loosely, it makes them some fired to the member of this bunt, it makes a woman singer join and it attempts a re-start once more in "Klondike" about the band name, too.
However, this band has dissolved transiently while forwarding mainly in the one's own record Deal and recording, too, completes beforehand for full length album.
Dybsand decided that it was bored by this thing and moreover to join to another band.
The band is "Glow".
Glow is composed of the member who is Jan Gisle Ytterdal(Guitar),Dag Veidal(Keyboard) who were the member of the pop group "One 2 Many" which had a hit song "Downtown" which got to the 3rd with the musical chart in Norway in 1987, Dybsand and Sven Kaare Sunde ,who was the member of the BlindOrphans ,too, It is being active at present, too, they have manufactured a demonstration source already at the studio and are looking for Deal in the future to release.
Also, Hansen of the guitarist which was the original member of Blind Orphans joined to "Jack In The Box" after BlindOrphans dissolution.
JackIn The Box was a band with the style which is near Alternative Rock which presses gloovy sense to the surface but each other has melody which is easy to hear which seems to still be a band in Europe compared with the similar band for every America, too.
They left one albums ,this album was released in Japan.too.
Regrettably, it was not the hitting one as left in the memory of the people.
It changes Vocalist after this and more solid & cool than JackIn The Box,They cahnge their name to"Autopluver", and they releases an album more in grunge style.
This is developing the live performance activity of the tour and so on mainly in Norway, Netherland.
