Hailing from the greater Boston, MA area, Point of Ares present an unusual blend of hard rock, prog, and punkish sounds all utilizing literary types of words as their lyrical basis. According to the band their name 'represents their vision of the sweeping majesty and power of the rock genre.' Ares, as used in the name, is the Greek god of war. The band is the brainchild of singer/bassist Karen Michalson. Michalson got the impetus to put material from her fantasy literature to music so she took up bass playing and singing and took the steps of starting the band. She even created her record label, Arula Records. Michalson recruited her husband Bill, a guitarist and engineer. Drummer Ryan DesRoches was added to fill out the group. They released their first CD, Enemy Glory Darkly Blessed on October 31, 1996. The recording, with lyrical structure based on Michalson's fantasy series of the same name, began to garner the group attention. On the first day of 1999, they released their second disc, The Sorrows of Brave Apollo, and their spotlight grew.

Дополнительная информация

KAREN MICHALSON
* Your musical inspirations?
Rush, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull
*Any CD's or songs which are meaningful to you?
My own CDs and songs have the most meaning for me, obviously, since my heart was involved in the creative process. As to work by other artists, I can't think of any particular songs that hold a special meaning for me, but there are some that I find particularly inspirational and moving. However, that list keeps changing.
* How has music inspired you?
It enhances my imagination. I often play loud rock CDs when I'm writing my novels, especially if I'm writing a scene that I want to be particularly emotional and exciting. My pulse races with the bass lines, and my thoughts follow.
Karen Michalson writes literary fantasy and hard, progressive-edged rock music. She is the bassist and lead vocalist for the adventure rock trio, Point Of Ares, and runs their associated record label, Arula Records. Her novels are under representation by Dunham Literary.
Karen grew up on literary classics and rock n' roll, and now divides her time between literature, music, and the study of law. She earned a Ph.D. in English from the University of Massachusetts, where she specialized in nineteenth-century British literature. It was in the course of her doctoral program that she became interested in examining the politics of privileging realism over fantasy literature in traditional English studies. It was out of this interest that she wrote her first book, Victorian Fantasy Literature: Literary Battles with Church and Empire.
After graduating, she taught at the University of Connecticut for two years, and then decided to leave teaching to write fiction full time.
It was during this period that she taught herself bass guitar and formed Point Of Ares. Point Of Ares has released three albums, Enemy Glory (1996), The Sorrows Of Young Apollo (1999) and Enemy Glory Darkly Blessed (2001).
