THE BANDS BEGINNINGS DATE BACK TO 1989 WHEN A TRIO WAS FORMED CONSISTING OF
JASON SPRADLIN-DRUMS...TERRI PRITCHARD-BASS.....AND DARRIN DAVIS-GUITAR
BASED OUT OF ARLINGTON,TEXAS(BETTER KNOWN AS THE HOME OF HEAVY METAL HEAVYWEIGHTS PANTERA),THE GROUP BEGAN LIFE UNDER THE MONIKER OF BRICK WINDOW AND BEGAN TO CRAFT THEIR MUSICAL VISIONS.ONE YEAR LATER THE BAND ADDED A SECOND GUITAR PLAYER...CODY GRIFFITH AND CHANGED THEIR NAME TO "LAST CHAPTER".
PROUDLY INFLUENCED BY VISIONARY ARTISTS SUCH AS "TROUBLE" "KING CRIMSON" AND THE ALMIGHTY "BLACK SABBATH" THE BAND SOUGHT TO CREATE SONGS THAT WERE HEAVY BY NATURE,DOOMY IN ATMOSPHERE AND OFTEN SLOW IN TEMPO.THE BAND CONTINUED TO SEARCH FOR A VOCALIST THAT COULD MEASURE UP TO THE STANDARDS SET FORTH IN THE SONG WRITING BUT DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS CAME UP EMPTY HANDED.NEVERTHELESS THE BAND FORGED ONWARD CREATING SONGS THAT WERE TO BECOME FUTURE CLASSICS WITHIN THE METAL UNIVERSE.
TWO YEARS LATER AND STILL NO VOCALIST
THE BAND DECIDED TO ENLIST THE SERVICES OF
"ROBERT LOWE" OF THE CULT DOOM
BAND "SOLITUDE AEATURNUS" AND RECORDED A FOUR SONG DEMO IN LATE 1993.THE
TAPE WAS ONLY CIRCULATED TO A SELECT FEW AND MADE IT'S WAY TO MANY TAPE
TRADERS CREATING A BUZZ ABOUT THIS MYSTERY BAND FROM TEXAS.
SOME TIME LATER AND STILL VOCAL-LESS
THE BAND DECIDED TO CALL IT A DAY.HOW LONG CAN A GROUP CONTINUE WITHOUT
A VOCALIST??
DURING THIS PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
DRUMMER "JASON SPRADLIN" AND BASSIST "TERRI PRITCHARD" LOANED THEIR TALENTS
TO "JOHN PEREZ"(SOLITUDE AEATURNUS GUITARIST) TO RECORD HIS SOLO ALBUM..."EXPLORING
THE PSYCHEDELIC" UNDER THE NAME "LIQUID SOUND COMPANY"..(THIS ALBUM WILL
BE RELEASED SOON)
BASSPLAYER TERRI ALSO HELPED OUT
ON THE RECENT EUROPEAN "SOLITUDE AETURNUS" TOUR.
IN 1995 "BRAINTICKET" FOUNDER,"JOHN
PEREZ" CONVINCED BY THE SHEER QUALITY OF THEIR SONG WRITING BEGGED THE
BAND TO REFORM AND RECORD AN ALBUM FOR THE LABEL.
FORTUNATELY FOR JOHN IT DIDN'T
TAKE MUCH BEGGING AND THE PLANS WERE ON FOR A FULL LENGTH RELEASE.
IN JANUARY/FEBUARY 1997 "LAST CHAPTER"
ENTERED THE STUDIO TO RECORD THEIR DEBUT FULL LENGTH CD.ONCE AGAIN ENLISTING
THE SERVICES OF "ROBERT LOWE" ON VOCALS AND GUEST MUSICIAN "BILL POHL"
ON SYNTH GUITAR.
THE CD ENTITLED "THE LIVING WATERS"
IS NOW FINALLY AVAILABLE
THE BAND ONCE AGAIN CONTINUES TO
SEARCH FOR A PERMANENT VOCALIST,BUT IN THE MEANTIME THEIR DEBUT ALBUM WILL
TELL THE STORY OF THIS MAGICAL GATHERING OF MINDS.
