Lots of updates beginning with the bands first live show since 2003! Friday night July 15th at The Rail in Bound Brook NJ, Alchemy X will welcome new vocalist/keyboardist Tom Engel to the fold as AX showcases some new material for their upcoming third album along with some tracks from “11:59:59” and “A Delicate Balance”! Tom has been a real revelation to us, a consummate professional, great band-mate and contributor and we’re sure everyone who hears the “new” AX will agree that his musicianship and talent are first rate- Showtime is 10pm and also appearing are Circus Train Productions own A Buck 380-

Last but not least we’d like to welcome our new promotions/marketing guru Ashley to the AX family! She’s done nothing but impress us with her drive, dedication, and most importantly, belief in the band (at least until she gets tired of us which we estimate should take about 10 days or so)- Great to have you on board Ashley, now we can finally get “Alchemy X” ABOVE “Puppet Show” on those billboards!

Site Updates | February 7, 2004
Our first update of the New Year, a little late...Don’t you think? Well, I guess it's how the saying goes, "Better late than never".
Anyway, I'm here to drop a quick update about a few sections that have been recently added to the site. The first being, Song and Album Commentary done for both "A Delicate Balance" and "11:59:59". These new additions to the site were written by "The man with too much time on his hands", Steve Ratchen. The commentary is definitely a great read for those who want to get "behind-the-scenes" in both Alchemy X albums. These new sections can be found in the discography section.
While on the subject of commentary, Steve also wrote up a detailed description for the individual subsections of the instrumental, "Renaissance" off of Alchemy X's "11:59:59" album. Just like the Song/Album commentary that he wrote, this too is very interesting. Just click on the song's title in the discography section to check it out.
Also recently added was an album review done by "Strutter Magazine" for "A Delicate Balance". You can check that out in the Review section.
I think that's just about it. Look for an update from the band in the next couple of weeks, and as always, take care.
Alchemy X Downtime | December 31, 2003
We apologize for the downtime here at Alchemy-X.Com. We had some issues with our current server and plan to move the website elsewhere, so there may be some more downtime in the weeks to come. We apologize for the inconvenience and wish everybody a Happy New Year!
Latest News | December 19, 2003
The band has already begun writing material for their next studio album, the as of yet untitled follow-up to “11:59:59”. Several new reviews of “59”, along with their 1999 debut record “A Delicate Balance” can be found in the reviews section. There have also been unconfirmed reports of a live album in the works, featuring material from each of the first two albums culled from various performances in 2003, so watch for more on each of those potential releases later in 2004 or 2005.
As for individual news, congratulations to drummer Chris Scorsese and bassist/keyboardist Steve Ratchen for their continuing endorsements with Vater and Conklin respectively. Steve has recently had his profile added to the Conklin site. Click Here to check that out.
Congratulations also to vocalist Bob Mitchell for his triumphant return to the stage with Attacker at Maxwell’s in Hoboken on December 13th.
Finally, on a personal note, congratulations to guitarist Rob Schreiber on his engagement and subsequent wedding planned for July of 2004! We all wish him nothing but the best!
Happy Holidays everyone!
