Soon, the band went to a studio in Mainz to record "Shadows Are Falling", "Lonely Would Be Loving You", and a new version of "Ballade of Glory", and played many live dates in Germany until the end of 1986. After a few concerts, Maurer quit Kymera to go to university and was replaced by a young Kosta Zafiriou, and the line-up of Kymera was complete again. The following songs were recorded: "Hello U.S.A.", "Hot Looking Romeo", "Send Me a Letter", and rearranged versions of "I Was Made to Be with You", "Call Me Up", and "Woman". Soon after, Kymera went to the Katapult-Tonstudio in Karlsruhe to record new songs for Francis, Day and Hunter GmbH Publishing. Ralf Maurer alias "Ralph Mason" was again recruited as the new drummer of the band. In 1986, when Bruno and Oscar Di Blasio, together with Deris (who had just finished military service), met Italian bass player Daniel De Niro, Kymera was born. During the production of the demo, drummer Bodo Schopf (ex- Michael Schenker Group) recorded some drum-parts. The following songs were recorded: "I Was Made to Be With You", "Call Me Up", "Woman", "I Hear the Angels Singing", "Ballade of Glory", and "Rock Your Body Down". In late 1984, Deris joined a band called Dragon with the two brothers Bruno and Oscar Di Blasio ("Di Blasio BrOs") on guitar, and Bernd and Stefan Lüddemann (bass and drums).Īfter playing live concerts in the Karlsruhe area, they went to Edo Zanki's studio in Karlsdorf and to Arco Studio, Munich, to record their first demo with producer Tony Monn. In Nameless, Deris stayed along with his school friend, drummer Ralf Maurer, who also played on both Deris' solo albums.
Two years later, they changed the band's name to Nameless.
