Band information

Middle Ages-inspired power metal was the core of KnightQueste's style. Formed by University of Wollongong students Cahn Turner, Sean Falconer and Matt Bell, this band was influenced by modern classical composers and bands such as Rhapsody of Fire and Blind Guardian. Originally the band contained two lead guitarists, Bell and Ingram. However in early 2010, Ingram left the band to continue his musical studies in Lismore. The vacancy was filled by Hoyle on keys. KnightQueste released a self recorded three track demo on Dec 10, 2010. Bell was a touring guitarist with LORD for some of 2010. In mid-2011 they split. Bell is with Troldhaugen and joined Bane of Isildur in mid-2012.
