Time Escape were formed in Firenze in 1986 when the musicians had a mean age of 15/16, anyway some of them had been involved yet in some underground/local bands (for example Melis played in Heavy Souls together with singer Jacopo Meille who later sung in Mad Mice,Mantra, Tygers of Pan Tang etc.);in 1987 the band released their first self titled demo gaining good reviews on italian metal magazines but in 1988 Milli left the band replaced by keyboard player/singer Francesco Simionato.
In this period absorbed by their school committments and jobs Time Escape never played live and in 1988 Castellan moved to Los Angeles to study and improve on guitar and the band was put on hold;during 1989/1990 Time Escape recorded 15 new songs for a second rare promo later simply labeled as "Demo 1991" just to fix on tape their music as they've already decided to quit just after the release because the lack of interest of music labels.
After the split former musicians went on playing becoming appreciated session men and pursuing also their solo careers, Castellano recorded several solo guitar oriented albums and playing for many italian popstars as Gianna Nannini,Irene Grandi,Celentano Claudio Simonetti (former Goblin)etc. - Melis was involved with the historical italian post/punk/wave band Diaframma recording 3 cds, in 1994 with the band Green published Life, a good AOR album and now plays in Underfloor and is also an appreciate studio producer.

DIO IN SWEDEN (1986)
Courtesy of Michael Johansson, visit him here for more information and licensing his photos.
Michael Johansson: I took this photo of Dio at Scandinavium in Gothenburg (Sweden) back in April 1986.
When I had talked to Ronnie in December 1985 he had said that he didn't think they would be able to bring the dragon to Europe.
But at least here in Sweden 'Dean' was with them.
I remember I was surprised that Viv was not with them and Ronnie avoided to give a concrete answer to what had happened.

BLACK SABBATH IN SEPTEMBER 1976
Sept 15, 1972 Black Sabbath plays The Hollywood Bowl (and Tony collapses). The next two concerts on the 16th in Sacramento, CA and the 17th in Honolulu, HI are canceled due to Tony's exhaustion and poor health. As Ozzy explained, "Tony had been doing coke literally for days, we all had, but Tony had gone over the edge. He walked off stage and collapsed." Geezer said, "It was really touch-and-go whether he'd survive or not because he was totally depleted. So we had to cancel the rest of the tour and we actually took time off for the first time since the band started. We got away from each other." / Courtesy of Facebook page 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath'.
