Subsignal, originally intended as a side project, was founded in 2007 by the former Sieges Even members Arno Menses (Vocals) and Markus Steffen (Guitars). The first result of this collaboration was the song “A Wallflower On The Day Of Saint Juliana”, which made its way to the 2007 Sieges Even album Paramount under the title “Eyes Wide Open”.
After Arno Menses and Markus Steffen left Sieges Even in summer 2008, they were looking for adequate musicians to turn Subsignal into a real and functional band. The first guy to join the new outfit was bass player Ralf Schwager, known for his work with German prog band Dreamscape. The line-up was completed with drummer Roel van Helden, known for his collaboration with Dutch band Sun Caged, and Dreamscape‘s David Bertok on keyboards.
