About the Band
Sun Caged formed in the spring of 1999. Operating as a studio-project at first, the band members decided to transform Sun Caged into a full-time band when guitarist Marcel Coenen's band Lemur Voice broke up in the summer of 2000.After some demo releases between 2000 and 2002, the band signed a record deal with Finnish Lion Music for worldwide release of their debut album. Soon after, the band signed a contract with Marquee/Avalon Records for Japan.
The debut album, mixed by progressive rock mastermind Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon / Star One / Stream Of Passion), was recorded in early 2003 and released on October 22nd 2003.
From late 2001 on, Sun Caged start building up an impressive status within their genre by playing lots of shows, of which several were remarkably sizable. The interest shown by bookers and fans of progressive metal grew considerably. This also lead to several interviews in prominent magazines and to some shows as support act of bands like VandenPlas and Queensryche.
Those who try to describe Sun Caged's music will find this task to be considerable.
Influences range from progressive metal to fusion and jazz, and atmospheric and ambient jaunts. The band's progressive blend is going to excite lots of listeners because of its diversity and excitement.
Sun Caged has been compared to artists such as Ayreon, Meshuggah, Iron Maiden, Kansas, Styx, Faith No More, Liquid Tension Experiment, Dream Theater, Pain Of Salvation and Cynic.
The band released their second album “Artemisia” in March 2007.
