Spiral Trance

Freedom from convention, music with intention. This is the well oiled, hard rock machine driven by SPIRAL TRANCE. Since their inception and the release of their latest self-produced EP, "Dead Set," this Milwaukee quartet is giving modern rock a well deserved kick in the teeth. Produced by Paul Karcz at the band's own Triple Six Studios, "Dead Set" transcends current metal trends by exploring new sonic territory. After a few early demos in 1997, SPIRAL TRANCE was featured on MTV's DENNIS RODMAN WORLD TOUR VIDEO with their song, "BITTER." A full length CD followed. The CD, "On Our Terms," garnered national publicity for the group with two nominations and performances at the LA MUSIC AWARDS in 2001, and again in 2002 as "National Artist Of The Year." In 2002, SPIRAL TRANCE placed in the Top Ten at the ASCAP GRAMMY SHOWCASE AWARDS for their song "Hellacious," and again in 2003 for "Breathe Again." Building on that success, SPIRAL TRANCE recently won the 2006 WISCONSIN AREA MUSIC INDUSTRY (WAMI) AWARD for Song of the Year for "Hellacious." In 2007, "Breathe Again" was licensed by Mississippi-based Lightning Lab Productions for use in the upcoming film documentary, "Solid Bodies, The 50 Year Guitar War." In addition, the songs "We Are," and "When After Comes" were featured on two E-Books penned by Master of Horror writer Alan Dane. SPIRAL TRANCE has enjoyed consistent TOP 3 Rankings on BroadJam.com in 10 plus categories, including NUMBER TWO in the World, and NUMBER ONE in Rock and Hard Rock. SPIRAL TRANCE has done numerous hard rock showcases, including the world-famous Whiskey A Go Go in Hollywood, CA, Chicago's Meca Music Conference and Milwaukee's internationally known music festival, Summerfest, where they've played to enthusiastic crowds for the last several years. SPIRAL TRANCE has charted on 50 CMJ radio stations throughout the country, as well as several national stations such as WLZR and WLUM Milwaukee, WJJO Madison, WLUP 97.9 Chicago and KCLA Radio Los Angeles. "Exuding star power and a pure, raw energy, SPIRAL TRANCE does a deadly live show as well as providing superb material from the recording studio..." says Dirty Dave of KCLA Radio in Los Angeles, CA. "SPIRAL TRANCE is one band not to miss." See you on tour...
