Payne's Gray

German progressive metal band formed in 1988. Released one EP Infinity and one full length Kadath Decoded, the latter a concept album based on H.P Lovecraft's novella The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. They are currently split-up. Music is heavy on keyboards, acoustics, and some flute passages but is definitely metal. 1995's Kadath Decoded credits the following: Daniel Herrmann (Drums, Percussion & Noise Guitar), Tomek Turek (Piano & Synthies), Hagen Schmidt (Voices), Martin Mannhardt (Bass), Haluk Balikci (Voices), Jan Schröder (Guitars & Flute), and finally Sascha & Sascha of Destiny Dreaming (additional voices). The cover art is actually a fold out poster designed by Michael Bähre titled "Dreamquest for the Unknown Lovecraft".
