A short biography of a wicked wolf pack...
Valium Hearts was initially started in early 2003 by producer/guitarist Nick Makowsky. After a period of time he reached out to Zak Grisak to lend bass on these early recordings. Meanwhile, lead guitarist Benson Price and drummer Robert Iverson were busy playing in another band that would later join up with Nick and Zak to become Die on the Vine. In 2004, after a brief period of time playing as Die on the Vine, the boys decided to get serious about making music and decided that Valium Hearts was to be their primary music making vehicle. Shows were played and fans were gained as the sound the band created swept people off their feet upon the first 30 seconds of listening pleasure. In mid-2005 the band went on hiatus due to members moving out of the area but the music was still alive and continued to gain more and more momentum on the internet as well as a growing legion of very dedicated and interested fans. In early 2007 Valium Hearts has regrouped again all in one area with the addition of Paul Hessing ..boards and Johnny Bisaha on vocals to start where they left off in what has been prophesized as the second coming of music and a blessing from the Gods; only this time not as Valium Hearts, but as
ECHOPRIEST! A revisioning of all the songs and what they stand for! Vocals or not, Echopriest has what it takes either way you hear it.
With instrument in hand and a studio in the shed, the very dedicated band Echopriest is 100% self-produced making them a cost-effective, diligent music making machine. From the brilliant and catchy riffs, progressions and solos to the ever ear-pleasing production, this band does it all on their own and wouldn’t have it any other way. With almost 2 full albums worth of self-produced material in just the last 2 years, Echopriest is ready to dominate the music world and exhibit a sound and musical prowess that is second to none. Combining power-metal riffs with melody and the art of a well written progression, the band has honed in on a sound that has yet to be.
As for the future, well it holds much for these 6 young bucks. Keep an eye and ear out for more shows, more euphonious music, more plot substance and more fans as this force to be reckoned with has just begun to swell……
