Element's History...
Scott C, a struggling young musician spent most of his time writing instrumental electronic soundscapes for a project called Fade when along came Shane Talada, hot off the heels of the extremely popular, and quite violent Screaming To God a grinding industrial outfit. Shane had been writing songs on a personal basis for years and had shelved much of his early works on some vintage synthesizers located in a small studio built outside of his house. Not long after STG's demise, Shane met up with Scott Cleaver to start fidling around with some experimental ideas. They both fused and created Element. As it turns out, Element worked better as an electronic dance outfit and early tracks written were purely electronic. They needed more members to be able to pull the whole plan off live and recruited Jeremy Meza. Jeremy Meza brought guitar skills to the table and with additional member David Skott on bass, Element was ready for prime time.
Element enjoyed some success with their single, The Sound of Angels released on Cleopatra's 2 CD box set, "Goth's Not Dead". However time waits for no one, and by the time it had come out, Scott had
left the band to pursue another project called Papa Byrd. Shane and Jeremy went on to play with Komunity FK and Faith and the Muse. David Skott's whereabouts are
unknown. Many believe him to be missing.
Element still plays and tours extensively to this day with revolving members.
