Band Members: SKULL PILE is an all instrumental METAL project by Rodney J. Nicholson formerly of aborted 80's Metal band PHANTASM
which featured: Katon W. DePena - (Hirax), Ron McGoveny - (Original Metallica Bassist), Gene Hoglan (Percussion god, played on the demo), Jim Korthe (Third Strike) joined as our regular drummer, Myself and Nathan Williams made noise on the guitars and generally ravaged the countryside...SKULL PILE is really just a bunch of musical ravings...The purpose behind it is simple, let's go on a musical journey, without lyrics to tell you what to think you can fill in the blanks with your imagination...Or maybe it could be described as a disgusting pile of riffs...Whatever, I don’t want to tell you what to think, that’s your job! I want to tell a story with music alone...Besides everyone knows talk is cheap, and we could all do with less of it!
