Punto Omega was founded in 2002 in Buenos Aires / ARGENTINA,
after Pilgrim (programming, vocals and concepts) and Viator
(lyrics and concepts) who worked together in other musical
projects before, decided to form a band of their own
combining EBM and Darkwave with orchestral and martial elements.
They started to compose their firsts songs and when the first
demo tracks were finished they had the chance to include them
in an argentinian electro compilation CD where the name PUNTO
OMEGA appeared officially for the first time. They put these
demos on their website and in the following month were able
to establish a huge worldwide fanbase just with two demo tracks
!!!. Thomas Rainer of L'ÂME IMMORTELLE also listened
to them and introduced the band to the TRISOL MUSIC
GROUP crew, who signed PUNTO OMEGA soon thereafter. Now equipped
with a record contract, Punto Omega started to work on what
would become their first album and remixed several bands like
The Retrosic, Z Prochek, Project X, Brüderschaft and
L´âme Immortelle. Some of these remixes and their
song
called “Punto Omega” were published in Europe
for the first time on "DJ Revelation 1" Compilation.
On February 13th, 2004 their debut album was released worldwide
as a stunning double CD digipak edition by TRISOL MUSIC GROUP
including remixes by bands such as L'ame Immortelle, Angels
& Agony, Lights of Euphoria, The Retrosic,
Grendel, etc. and the collaborations on guest vocals by Thomas
Rainer (L'âme Immortelle) and Claus Bita (Cenobita)
getting raving reviews in all major electro/gothic magazines
and entitled as "Newcomer of the Month" in Orkus,
Sonic Seducer and Zillo (the 3 biggest alternative music magazines
in
germany). The Album took the club dancefloors by storm and
there is no Gothic/EBM/Industrial dancenight in Germany now,
that does not feature PUNTO OMEGA's highly addictive epic-apocalyptical
trademark sound to get the crowd cooking. understand!
