Born in 1974, MEISEL grew up listening to the likes of IRON MAIDEN, AC/DC and soon acquired a taste for metal. After toying with drums and jamming with like-minded musicians, he decided to switch to singing and eventually became DREAMSCAPE's lead singer on their album "Very", as well as on MAEVE OF CONNACHT''s album "Imaginary Tales". In 2002, he went solo and finally realized a childhood dream: doing metal style cover versions of 80's pop classics with an album he titled "Cut". For progheads, however, his real debut came in 2003 with the cd "EmOcean". It features some excellent musicians in drummer Daniel Flores of MIND'S EYE, guitarist Marcel Coenen of LEMUR VOICE and SUN CAGED, bassist Jean B. Affonco of ABSOLUTE and keyboard player Vivien Lalu (of SHADRANE), who wrote all the music - the lyrics were composed by Meisel himself.
"EmOcean" is a concept album dealing with the mysteries of the underwater world, notably the Bermuda Triangle, the Sargasso Sea and Atlantis. It is a tasteful, melodic and atmospheric cd where Coenen's guitar play and Lalu's lush keyboards (in particular) truly shine. At times the music borders on new age, at other times on symphonic prog, but the predominant style is melodic, mid-tempo prog metal that highlights Meisel's distinctive, pristine "metallian" voice. Very good production and stellar musicianship throughout.
