Amazing, but we look at them as friends. IKILLYA is a fantastic band, but are real people.
Our sound is simply "Groove Metal." It's filled with elements of death, speed, power, classic hard rock, and thrash metal.
People tell us we remind them of DEVILDRIVER, TESTAMENT, SEPULTURA, and LAMB OF GOD. It's not any one band; it's a mix of a lot of bands. Bands like MAIDEN, PRIEST, THE DOORS, SANCTUARY/NEVERMORE, MEGADETH, METALLICA, etc.
If you fall asleep at the wheel, you're forgotten. The industry is harder than ever and you have to go claws out!
We really try hard to analyze our songs to make sure there are different flavors in there. Each one has its own unique journey to take the listener on. Our second CD is way different than our first, and the third (which is already being talked about) will be different as well.
Too long. 14 months with some time off here and there.
First off, we had a great final lineup change. Ron Martin is our bassist now. Ron uses a fretless bass which isn't very common. He's a big Steve Digiorgio fan. My (Chris James) vocals have changed. I've gained more range and some style change from playing out and growing with the rest of the band. We have also just added a new guitarist, Dave Visbisky to the lineup. Dave is a string rhythm player with great ideas which will be heard in the future. The drums and guitars are more technical than the first CD. We are definitely improving ourselves.
We want to expand in the USA, touring more cities and states. We will be writing and recording the third album. Also, we will definitely be pushing our name and be in talks about Europe.
More results...
