XaoSynth
We are 2 guys that came together to write music and collaborate over the internet. We have never met other than online through a guitar forum. It was suggested by a mutual forumite that we write some music together. XaosLord & Synthaxe, we combined out creativity and came up with the combined name XaoSynth. The 1st song we wrote together was Synthropy which started the Fractured project. That song started up the entire process of writing an epic piece to explore where the creativity would lead.Band/artist history
We are a brand new band, mainly as songwriter/musicians working together. No history as of yet.Have you performed in front of an audience?We do not play live. We do separately but not as XaoSynth.

Hello to our Agile Guitar Forum friends! Thanks to Dave for kicking this off!
Fractured Story Line:
In the middle of nowhere was a man that no one knew except his family and local friends. He was a dreamer, a creative kind of guy with gifts and talents that were yet to be recognized. He along with his lifelong friend decided to pursue their dreams. To be a band that wrote and performed like no other. The show must take on a life and be beyond what anyone had ever seen or done before. The small country town would never appreciate or be able to understand what they were pursuing. only to run into many obstacles like no money, no exposure and no one to buy into their vision. But the band persevered, putting out a demo and getting into the hands of anyone who would give it a listen.
It did fall into the hands of agile management & production company rep named Dave. Dave flew down to check out the guys and a local gig one night. Dave saw something that night that convinced him to talk the guys into signing on with him. That was the evening that it all begin. The guys signed up ready to cast their vision and work to build something unbelievable. Dave was able to get the guys the upfront money to build onto this dream. The front man would no longer go by his name. He would be known as Synthaxe and his lifelong friend became XaosLord. These guys would perform as larger than life characters and it would all tie into the stage show. It was all a part of the creative process to bring imagery, mystery and show to the stage. There would be lights, lasers, pyro, video, and everything else that could be thrown into the show.
Dave worked the band hard preparing for the road while getting the band exposure and airplay with the first set of songs that had been rerecorded and produced to sell. The initial gigs were going very well and the band was taking on a following very quickly. Fans were added at each gig. It seemed that the fans were spreading the news of the band to their friends and the fan base grew quicker with each day. There was something unique and special going on here. Dave too realized that this would be a successful venture.
After the initial months of touring and releasing a full cd, along with it came posters, t-shirts and assorted merchandise. The band rose to success so fast that it was requiring more work, more promotions and more gigs. Within the next year the band had risen to major success with late night show interviews, music television exposure and sold out arenas all over the country. After several years of touring, 2 new cds, the rigid schedule was taking a toll on the band. But this thing was so big that it was spilling over into a world tour. Although tire Synthaxe was ready to take on the world but knew they all needed a break.
During a brief break from the band, Synthaxe poured his whole self into his character and was refining his direction. The band then came back together for some rehearsal gigs and where obviously rested and ready to take on the world. They were sounding better than ever.
The band hit the air and took over Europe, Japan & Australia with a vengeance. The fan base was out of control even worldwide now. But somewhere along the way something was changing with Synthaxe, first noticed by Xaos. He was having trouble coming out of character after the show. And soon it was realized by the rest of the band and Dave that he needed to seek some help. Synth was losing the reality of who he really was. It was going to be an issue to be dealt with.. torn between the world of who he is and who he is on stage. After some very obvious mistakes made publicly, and battling with management, Dave convinced Synth to get help. With a brief time off and some psychiatric help Synth was put on medication. It did seem to help some at least temporarily.
But it was not a cure. Not to soon after being on the road again, the battle in his mind continued to plague him. But as the saying goes the show must go on.
Synth was once again becoming sporadic with his character. Talking to himself on stage and not leaving it behind when off stage. This was affecting the band, the show and beginning to leak out to the news. The management team called Synth to come in to talk things over. Something has got to be done. Reluctantly Synth gets in his car to drive over to meet which actually gives him some time to do some soul searching. But on the way he has an accident which was soon to change everything.
The news was blaring about Synthaxe in critical condition from a freak car accident. We learn that he is unconscious but expected to live. The world waits until finally he becomes conscious. Only to discover, he doesnt remember anything. Not who he was or is today. The world holds on to the hope that he will recover and come back to them.
Will he remember or not. Listen and find out!Admin
