Subsignal is a progressive rock band formed in 2007 by vocalist Arno Menses and guitarist Markus Steffen, both previously members of Sieges Even. The project began as an outlet for material the two musicians were developing alongside their work in Sieges Even, with an early composition later appearing in revised form on the 2007 album Paramount. After leaving Sieges Even in 2008, Menses and Steffen decided to expand Subsignal into a full band. The initial lineup was completed by bassist Ralf Schwager, known for his work with Dreamscape, Dutch drummer Roel van Helden of Sun Caged, and keyboardist David Bertok, also associated with Dreamscape. From the outset, Subsignal positioned itself as a progressive act with a broad stylistic palette, incorporating elements of AOR, metal, pop and melodic rock. The band members often describe their music as emotional, melodic and open‑minded, continuing the artistic direction they had pursued in Sieges Even while placing greater emphasis on live performance and stylistic versatility. Subsignal recorded their debut album, Beautiful & Monstrous, in 2008 with producer Kristian Kohlmannslehner, who had also worked on Sieges Even’s Paramount. The album was released internationally in 2009 through Golden Core/Zyx Records, with later release dates in the United Kingdom and the United States in early 2010. The record received strong critical attention and established Subsignal as a distinctive presence within the modern progressive rock and metal landscape.
