MEMBERS
Vocals / Guitarist
“I never had a any real interest in music until I was about 16. I grew up in a house that constantly had music going every night when I went to sleep, as my dad had been a lead singer and guitar player most of his life with bands coming and going all the time. Eventually I became infatuated with expressing my thoughts and feelings through singing, as i’m a very introverted person to begin with. Music became “a part” of my way of life, and ever since I started picking up different instruments like the drums and guitar, I can’t imagine going through life without it.”
Lead Guitar
“I’ve always been inspired by every and any kind of music. As a guitarist, my biggest influences have been Dave Mustaine, as well as Bjorn and Jesper from ‘In Flames’. ‘Megadeth’s Rust In Peace’ album was what finally drove me to pick up and play guitar, but it wasn’t until I heard ‘In Flames’ Clayman’ album that my style started to evolve into what it is today. I’ve tried to define my own style of playing…especially with the rhythm tracks, but I think any metal fan can probably hear those influences in my riffs.”
Bass
When he actually gives us a bio to put on here, we’ll add it.
…but for now, he’ll remain a mystery.

Past Member – Nick Donadio
