WithinAnotheR, a dark/aggressive/progressive metal band based in the mountains of Hudson Valley, NY, began in 2001. Members included Dean Sternberg, guitars and lead vocals; Chuck Nacaratto, drums; Mike Poplees, bass. After a few demos, live shows and lots of media exposure, Mike left in late 2002. No permamenet replacements were found and the band dissolved as Dean and Chuck kept themselves busy with other musical projects. In late 2005, Dean was contacted by guitarist Paul Mallory (Soul Shroud, ex-Sanctuary/Synphony). Paul, an exceptional player who had been considered for Savatage and the Trans Siberian Orchestra, was looking for someone to sing on his own recordings. Shortly after, Dean ran into an old friend, Matt Mason, a professional bassist whose resume includes touring/session work with numerous national recording artists and bands. Matt expressed interest in delving into something heavier and more challenging. Dean asked Paul and Matt if they'd be interested in being part of a WithinAnotheR resurrection. Both agreed. After a few weeks of jamming and getting everyones' schedules aligned, the four rehearsed for the first time at Chucks. Everything clicked musically and personally from the get-go. The band is currently writing new songs and preparing for live shows.
