Pyramaze is a Danish American melodic progressive power metal band that was formed in 2001 by guitarist Michael Kammeyer. The first other musicians to join were were the Danish duo of drummer Morten Sorensen, and bassist Niels Kvist. The next to join was American keyboardist Jonah Weingarten, who was originally met by Kammeyer over the internet. The band then set out in search for a singer. After listening to many demos, the band selected American singer Lance King formerly of Balance of Power to be their lead vocalist.
The bands first live show took place on April 23, 2004 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They released their debut studio album Melancholy Beast in May 2004 which was followed up by a Summer 2004 tour. During this time Danish guitarist Toke Skjonnemand joined the group. In February 2006 the band released their second album, Legend Of The Bone Carver, a concept album that was recieved very well by fans. On September 15, 2006 the band headlined the ProgPower USA VII festival in Atlanta, Georgia. Shortly following that performance, Lance left the band due to personal and professional reasons. They are currently seeking a new vocalist.
