Album Notes

BIOGRAPHY - The conception

Afflicted was concieved in July 2000 By Hackney born and bred Menelaous Georgiou. He worked exclusively with Design and soundtracks with his design company, Afflicted-Design. (then known as MutageniX Entertainment). Soon after, Menelaous composed ReasonZ, for a video game. It was well recieved, not only on the game, but also on mp3.com, vitaminic, and soundclick where it reached chart positions of number 1.

This was the birth of AFFLICTED COMMERCIAL, which was to create songs for the commercial sector, and following the success of the first album, dubbed 'The AffliXion', marketed purely on the internet without being played Live once, Afflicted had become a well-known name on the web. With a fanbase of over 2000 people world wide..

BIOGRAPHY - The AffliXion

Whilst working on The AffliXion, Menelaous wrote each song every 2-3 weeks.. It was a musical diary of his life at 17-18 years of age, and incidently, he went through many troublesome experiences that influenced the album directly..

Songs like "JUST TOO LATE", is a true incident in which a girl he was close to died of a drug overdose, "CLOSE MY EYES", A powerful build up of emotion which is a remembrance of Menelaous' School life, in which he fought for what he believed in at a very great cost, and also "BELIEF", a heart warming journey of love and self realisation, are just a few of the massive songs that were released in several different marketing campaigns on the net.

Soon after writing many of the songs on the AffliXion, Menelaous teamed with old school friend Rob Leonard for new inspiration and input into the album. Soon after, well recieved songs such as "CHANGE MY MIND" are released.. Rob's dramatic in-depth masterpiece explodes as Menelaous Delivers powerful vocals in this epic track about dealing with a break up.
