Full-length, 2008 Suspyre's sound is heavily influenced by a wide variety of musicians and bands, including In the summer of 2001 with a jam session at drummer Chris Myers' house with guitarists Gregg Rossetti and Rich Skibinsky. Rich approached Gregg and they conversed. Kevin O'Hara, a singer whose musical interests include The Backstreet Boys and Medieval music, was asked to be the singer. His debut performance was a mind-blowing metal version of "The Star-Spangled Banner," America's National Anthem. Gregg left for college in August while Rich and Chris were still in high school. When Suspyre started working on their first album, they realized changes needed to be made. Due to the direction in which the recordings were going, the abilities of some members were questioned on how they will fit in the new music. First was the replacement of Chris Myers with Sam Paulicelli, then the replacement of Raffaele Gerace with Clay Barton. Response to The Silvery Image during this time period was strong. To follow up on a good album, the band sought to make an even better album, A Great Divide. The first half, The Alignment of Galaxies was composed in August 2005, while The Silvery Image was still in its final stages of completion. The second half, The Origin of a Curse was composed in November 2005, when the band decided a full-length was a better idea than just releasing the first half as an EP. During this time Suspyre parted with bassist Kirk Schwenkler. Noah Martin from Atlanta, Georgia was hired to record the album. The permanent replacement for Kirk is now Andrew Distabile, a friend of the band whom actually switched from guitar to bass in order to play. 2007 A
Great Divide was finally released on March 20, 2007 through Nightmare
Records. To help promote the album, Suspyre traveled to Mokena,
Illinois to participate in the Chicago PowerFest 2007.cite
