The early beginning of Spheric Universe Experience dates back to 1999, when guitarist Vince Benaim decided to create a progressive metal band together with his friends Sam (on drums) and John Drai (on bass). The band did some local gigs in and around the southern parts of France, going by the name of Gates of Delirium.
They knew that they limited their own repertoire by not incorportating vocals and keyboards, so by 2001 keyboardist Fred Colombo entered the band together with vocalist Alex. Now going by the band name of Amnesya, the guys did lots of liveshows and one demo CD.
In August 2002, the band split because of musical disagreements leaving Vince, John and Fred to continue under the name of Spheric Universe Experience.
During the next 8 months their passion for composing led them to write a complete album, which they recorded at home as a demo in April 2003 with session vocalist Franck Garcia, who came in just a few days before the recordings began. The vocals were recorded in a professional studio, and although Franck didn't have much time with the band prior to recording it, the result is very convincing, which is why he now have joined the band fulltime. The 2003 demo, "The Burning Box", was sent to Intromental Management in Denmark, who immediately fell in love with the bands sound, and decided to offer them a management-deal.
With drummer Volodia Brice (Kitto, Frdric Lpe, Stphan Forte...), the band began recording the final album, "Mental Torments", in August 2003.
The cover artwork has already been done by famous Swedish artist Mattias Norn (www.progart.com). Early 2004, Volodia Brice decided to give up with SUE for personal reasons. The band immediately started to search for a drummer. During spring 2004, Guillaume Morero became the new drummer of SUE.
The band has been playing for 8 months with this line up. However, at the end of year 2004, there is a new change on drums: Guillaume Morero is substituted by Nicolas "Ranko" Muller, who is already recognized as an excellent drummer with his band Artefact. His huge technical skills have actually caught the attention of the band. SUE is now ready to present his first album live ("Mental Torments" in USA - the album released on February 21st 2006 with "Nightmare records". This version include one exclusive bonus track for the American audience only)!.
The band had the great opportunity to play as opening band for world-famous rock band Scorpions in September 2005. S.U.E. also opened for the former Scorpions guitar-heroe Uli Jon Roth in Paris. Now the french proggers are working on their second album that they'll start recording in May/June.
S.U.E released their second album, called Anima, on 23rd April 2007.
And...the new third album of the band, called Unreal, came out on 19th May 2009 :)
Legacy
Spheric Universe Experience Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what we built and what we killed, changing life for better or worse
Look my heir, now it's up to you to care
but before that I go, there's something I want you to know
We inherit age-old journey
Generations built a dream
We're like shooting stars
Only fleeting life forms with a heart, struggling to survive
But our legacy will forever last
Passing down to you son is my stairway to the skies
Promise me you will give your everything
To help and cherish those your love
Protect the planet that is home to life
As we're heading back to Gaia
All the children are passing on the torch
In this space and time
We're like shooting stars
Only fleeting life forms with a heart, struggling to survive
But our legacy will forever last
Passing down to you son is my stairway to the skies
We will survive in our children's heart
In this space and time
We're like shooting stars
Only fleeting life forms with a heart, struggling to survive
But our legacy will forever last
Passing down to you son is my stairway to the skies
The lyrics of Spheric Universe Experience's song "Legacy" depict a conversation between a father and his son, reflecting on humanity's impact on the world and the responsibility the son now carries. The father acknowledges both the accomplishments and the destruction caused by humans, highlighting the changes they have brought to life, both positive and negative. He urges his son to care for the world and its inhabitants before he departs, emphasizing the importance of understanding their inherited journey and the dream previous generations have built.
The song speaks to the fleeting nature of human existence in the vastness of space and time. The reference to shooting stars symbolizes the transience of life and the struggle to survive. Despite this, the father emphasizes that their legacy will endure, passed down to the son as a metaphorical "stairway to the skies." The son is implored to give everything he has to protect and cherish those he loves and to safeguard the planet, which serves as the home for life.
The lyrics also touch on the concept of intergenerational stewardship, as the children are referred to as passing on the torch. The father suggests that the survival of humanity lies within the hearts of their descendants, and it is their duty to continue the legacy and preserve the planet for future generations.
Overall, "Legacy" explores themes of responsibility, the impact of humanity on the world, and the importance of passing on a positive inheritance to future generations.

This is really amazing news.
I knew that the same progressive metal, Zero Hour, would release a new album 2022 , so I was just reminding myself of this album I used to listen to a lot.
I feel nostalgic and tears are likely to come out.
I'm looking forward to the album and can't help it !!!
