Fiction

There are multiple artists/bands under the name of Fiction. 1) Fiction (Japanese): Originally formed in Nagoya, they were called Gille' Loves. After struggling almost for a decade to gain recognition, they moved to Tokyo and changed their name to Fiction. The reason for the name change is said to be because many fans took the dark gothic but sensual world created through their music too seriously. In response, the band claimed that everything is just 'fiction'. Fiction was largely influenced by numerous 80s new wave British bands such as Bauhaus and Joy Division.

Phyrexia

Phyrexia is a Heavy Metal project that has been reborn from its dying ashes. Songs have been removed and replaced with songs that suit what we want out of the music. Having said that, there is scope for creativity within Phyrexia, it just has a "general" direction in which it goes in. We're rehersing as a full lineup and things are working out great. http://www.myspace.com/phyrexianmetal
