Picture  

One of the earliest Dutch metal bands, Picture enjoyed success in their native Holland as well as places like South America in the early eighties, playing a brand of straightforward metal which might sound dated now but was not bad for its time. The band shifted direction after the third album (a quote from guitarist Jan Bechtum: ""Eternal Dark" (and beyond) is something I think has nothing to do with Picture."), with the last two albums essentially record-contract obligation albums only. After being disbanded throughout the nineties, Bechtum briefly briefly reformed the band with a new lineup, which didn't last long. Finally, most of the original members, including Bechtum, came back together, and have released Live 2008 and are intending to record again in 2009.
