Syris

One of several late-nineties American bands who aimed to keep alive the glory of eighties metal, Chicago's Syris played classic power metal with slight progressive touches. Formed by guitarist Scott Payne, the band managed to release a self-titled debut album in 1995, but on the eve of a tour for that album, Payne fell ill, and eventually tragically passed away. Syris disbanded at that time, with drummer Sean Brown eventually deciding to recruit a new lineup, a lineup which eventually recorded Unseen Forces. After that, Brown himself left, along with guitarist Paul Speredes, and with no original members left, the Syris name was laid to rest once again. Several of the members are still active in the Chicago metal scene, with Spirit Web and Twelfth Gate.
