Throughout his entire life, guitarist and vocalist Christian Williams has dreamed of and worked toward one single goal - to form a band that would share his vision of creating a new sound to offer the world of music. Inspired by legendary rock groups such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana and The Beatles, and influenced by contemporary favorites, Soundgarden and Muse, while intrigued by experimental bands like Radiohead and Massive Attack, Williams' quest began in 2003 with his band "From The Ashes". This served as a great launching pad for his amazing gift of songwriting and producing a rocking, cohesive band. However, he longed for something with a more artistic, mature sound. He remembered a friend from the past and instinctively knew this was the perfect person to come alongside and be his creative soul mate. Sharing the same driving passion, Jason Thompson stepped in and the journey began.

Drummer and percussionist, Thompson brought with him a wealth of experience from his musical background. Like Williams, his inspiration comes from the same hard driving bands of classic rock as well as the newer sounds of Incubus, Interpol, Linkin Park, Nine Inch Nails, Moby, A Perfect Circle and The Mars Volta. All of these and more have greatly influenced his personal drumming style. Belonging to "Innerfire", "Twice+Lived" and many other bands, Thompson put his chops to work and was on the road to becoming a uniquely creative monster of a drummer. In the summer of 2005, these two artists began collaborating and together spent the next year creating their sound. Rustin Sailors came on board as bassist and "Anavryn" was born. Opportunities began to arise, but Sailors chose a different path. For the next six months they struggled without a bass player.

Rowdy Bossard, a long time friend of Williams, had just left his previous band due to creative differences. A skilled bassist, shaped by classic and contemporary musical influences like Jethro Tull, The Who, Beck, OKGo, and The Raconteurs, Bossard brings tremendous amounts of creativity and an equal dedication to the band's vision and goals. He was eagerly welcomed as the final member of this trio.

With renewed vision and enthusiasm, a rebirth was set in motion. "Anavryn" had evolved into "Soundescape". With their upcoming debut album "Balanceffect" this band now brings to you heavily creative guitar riffs, hauntingly soulful vocals, bone breaking bass lines and chaotic, in your face drumming.
