The original music was mainly written by keyboardist Steve Koelling
from 1988 to 1996. Several versions of three of the original tracks
were recorded at different places in different forms. But, in 1996,
with the addition of guitarist Steve Sorrell, the sound changed to the
liking of both musicians...for a while. "Diary of a Lost Soul", the
debut CD of "Esucarys" was released in May of 2001 and a CD release
concert at the Fairfield Theater for Creative Arts put the band on the
map. A small following encouraged them to move forward with their
unique sound. But, as the years passed, the band headed in an entirely
different direction. The harder edge and more progressive metal side
of their music became present in the writing of their "then current"
project, "Shadows of the Past". Plus, personal and physical
obstacles put a damper on the progress and release of the second CD.
After all of the tracks were lost to a studio crash in April of 2007,
both Koelling and Sorrell knew it was time for an overhaul. Sorrell
had always felt like the name and the style of music was not
representing the direction he wanted to go in, so the band's name was
changed to "A Prelude to Tragedy" and new life was born. Under the
new name, the work in progress became a reality and they released
"Shadows of the Past" in December of 2007. As if par for the course,
the months after the release of the new CD, the band was forced to take a
temporary hiatus while more personal matters were settled. During
this time both musicians started writing new material. Unfortunately,
not all of the partial songs sounded like the band's new direction.
In fact, Koelling felt as if it was very much like the material from the
first CD. Neither of them wanted to scrap some of the potentially
good ideas, and hearing several fans of the older material express their
feelings that they missed the "old sound", a light bulb made itself
known floating above Koelling's head. All it took was one phone call,
and the old name was brought back with a revised attitude. "Project
Esucarys" is a collaboration of musical ideas brought to the table by
Koelling, Sorrell and drummer Todd Frank with an open doorway allowing
the music to just "go wherever is goes". The original concept is to
have guest vocals and musicians and base the writing around any "licks",
"chords", "lyrics" and "ideas" that do not fall into the sound of "A
Prelude to Tragedy". Coming back into the scene is writer and lyricist
Rick Koelling. There is no promise when any recordings of the band
will surface, or which will come next: a CD release by "Esucarys" or "A
Prelude to Tragedy", but it is quite possible that having more than one
road laying before them, the musicians might be able to keep their
creativity constantly moving forward, escaping the down time that has
haunted them for over a decade. As soon as there is anything
available to listen to, it will be posted at this site...
