Time`s Forgotten, the Costa Rican “progressive rock band” was born on the year 2004 in San José,
Costa Rica, with the intention of experimenting with diverse textures and sounds to be fusioned
with rock music, including electronic music, ethnic elements and heavy metal.
After working on the production of their first album “A Relative Moment of Peace”, during a two and
a half year period, the record was released in august of 2006, surprising the Costa Rican market with
very considerable sales, considering that this is a band that had never played live before. In november
of that year, the band`s first concert was scheduled on the Eugene O`Neill Theater in San José,
with the idea of presenting the record to the fans that filled completely the seats of the theater;
even people were left outside the venue without a ticket.
For January of 2007 the band presented their album for the second time, this time in the beautiful
Anfitheatre of the National Center of Culture of Costa Rica in front of an impressive crowd,
outstanding for being the band`s second show.
Beside the achievements at a national level, Time`s Forgotten was invited to participate on one of
the most important progressive rock festivals on the planet: the Baja Prog festival in Mexicali,
Mexico, where they shared the stage with some of the greatest names in the progressive genre,
something never before achieved by a Costa Rican band.
During the last year Time`s Forgotten has shared the stage with international bands such as Angra
from Brasil, EZOO and CAST from Mexico, and made several important appearances in Costa Rica.
By the end of 2007 the band has received several international and very good reviews on
important media such as the Progression Magazine, Prog Archives, Mellotron Magazine, Prog Naut
and many others for their debut album (for some complete reviews please check this website).
The band is currently working on a new record to be released sometime during 2009 and many
other exciting projects.
“Time’s Forgotten‘s debut. as it’s quickly becoming my favorite
progressive metal release since “Images and Words“.
In fact in many ways to my ears, “A Relative Moment of Peace”
is stylistically and dynamically better and deserves a high recommendation”.
Ron Fuchs, for Prog Naut
"brilliant instrumental passages where the rhythm section, keys and guitars all cook, integrated with
equally successful vocals
it balances properly the aggressive sound of the 90’s progressive metal
with the freshness of subtle symphonic elements.
"high hopes for this group´s future. 14 1/2 out of 16 points
4 out of 5 stars
INDISPENSABLE IN ANY PROGRESSIVE METAL COLLECTION!!!"
“until Baja Prog 2007 that they had a international breakthrough
with an amazing captivating performance”
