Unified Past is the progressive rock vision of guitarist, vocalist, & composer Stephen Speelman and drummer Victor Tassone. After the release of their third CD on January 20th 2000, “From The Splintered Present Surfaces…”, the band went on a nine-year hiatus from the music scene. Stephen revived Unified Past in 2009 with original drummer Victor Tassone, who had left the band during the recording of 1994’s CD “Power Of Existence”. The result was their come back cd “Tense”, a twelve-song collection of progressive influenced music. With that release, the band regained momentum and focus on their musical path. They signed on with indie progressive rock label “Melodic Revolution Records” and their follow up, “Observations”, was released on June 28th 2011. “Observations” is an 11 song, 65-minute release featuring Stephen Speelman on lead vocals exclusively for the 1st time in the band’s history.
With the release of Observations, Unified Past has been expanding their fan base and popularity. On January 12th 2012 they introduced Dave Mickleson on Bass Guitar. They are currently working on their next project while also remixing “Tense” for re-release on Melodic Revolution Records. The band is also searching for a keyboardist to begin performing live again.
