This is how they describe the first band they were in:"Canvas Solaris first appeared in the fall of 1999, under the name Pikkmon’s Model. The Trio, then comprised of the Jimmy McCall (bass guitars), as well as current members Nathan Sapp (guitars, vocals) and Hunter Ginn (drums), the music produced by this early incarnation bears little resemblance to Canvas Solaris circa 2004. The trio’s early sound can best be described as an amalgam of Necroticism-era Carcass, Voivod, Godflesh-like noisemongering, third eye-stimulating psychedelia, and the hyperactive riffing of Brutal Truth’s Need to Control opus. After playing a number of local and out of town shows, the group finally committed their songwriting efforts to tape in late March 2000. The session, recorded at Phoenix Sound Studios in Macon, Ga., yielded the songs “ChaosGraft,” “Echo Dimension,” “A Wind of Flame,” and the progressive standout, “Spaces Between Dreams.” This track, with its dizzying meters, jarring dynamics, and sonic quirks, foreshadowed the unique sound that Canvas Solaris would explore over the next 1 ½ years." Cthon, I thought you knew the cool people around town. I don't think so sir! The funniest part is that they recorded in a studio down in Macon GA. Hahahaha...I can only imagine the looks of shock and disbelief on the faces of the studio people......when they cranked up.

OK Mezman, I'm downloading the 3 songs from the site now and I'll comment on the whenever I get a chance to listen to them.Sometimes I avoid bands that sound like groups like Cynic because the all become clones (like the whole Dream Theater thing spawned). After hearing a couple bands playing technically super fast metal licks, it gets a bit redundant, but hopefully these guys will sound original. thanks for the link happy now  -------------------- yawn

No joke on the Statesboro thing. Were all from the same town. It really isn't that bad if you like small town life. It obviously gave Canvas plenty of time to develop their metal skills, as you can see it has some advantages.

And they're not with Tribunal anymore??
At this time I don't think they plan to release the new album through Tribunal. They paid for the recording/mastering themselves and are currently shopping it to some other labels. So its still up in the air. I don't think there are any bad feelings between them in Tribunal so it could very well be released through them if nothing else comes through. I've got the new one on its way to me in the mail. I'll let you know how it is. I'll try and remember to ask Hunter about posting some of the old demos.
