Bonebag

Menses started out as a drummer for the band Bonebag, they released their debut "Noli me Tangere" in 2007.[1] He played drums on all tracks and provided backup vocals on distinct songs in the album. Bonebag quickly disbanded following their tour of the album.

Sieges Even

Arno joined Sieges Even during their extensive hiatus in 2003. His first album with the band was The Art of Navigating by the Stars.[2] The album was noted as a departure in sound from their previous two albums and incorporated a longer composition and more melody than before. In 2007, they released their second album with Menses, the album called Paramount.[3]

In 2008, they released their first live album called Playgrounds.

Following the tour supporting the American AOR giant JOURNEY , the band had internal differences and disbanded. The Holzwarth brothers went on to join different bands while Menses and Steffen thought of forming a band of their own.

Subsignal

Following the disbandment of Sieges Even, Arno Menses and guitarist Markus Steffen formed a band called Subsignal.[4] They have released three albums and one live DVD since their formation: Beautiful & Monstrous in 2009, Touchstones in 2011, the live album Out There Must Be Something in 2012 and Paraiso in 2013.[5]
