"Gather 'round applaud my death Miraculous"

About Me

We are a metal machine constantly in transition finding our way to the future of metal music. Strongest influences are American Head Charge and Slipknot, but hopefully lots of our other metal/rock influences show through as well. We are 10 songs deep into our first album and preparing to blow this thing up on the world.

Band Members:

COLONY -guitar: born in the valley of thunder known as granite falls, minnesota. Live in Rosville My musical experience is metal as fuck... piano lessons, high school and college band. Been shreddin Axe for a while now. My folks first date was a Turtles concert, it's no wonder that I am M.A.F. Guitar gods of my world are SRV, Clapton, Mr H.C. Banks (head charge,) Nergal (behemoth,) Mikael Ã…kerfeldt (opeth,) and Mick and James from Slipknot. CanNot Justify is a dream come true for me.

DAN-vox:Born in roseville minnesota live in roseville minnesota been playing bass guitar for 13 years and regular guitar for 2 years. played bass in 4 bands from highschhool on and sang in one band before my current band Cannot Justify As a bass player my main influence was Cliff Burton as a singer my influences change with every new band I discover. A hobby of mine is writing poetry, I have had some of my work published and its pretty cool to see my poem in a book.

SIN -guitar: After finding out my mother was a groupie at the World Vacation Tour in 1979 when it passed through Wisconsin, It is no wonder why I grew up to become a shredding guitarist! I discovered this about eight years ago and have to give thanks to my idols who inspired me to pick up an axe, Dimebag (R.I.P.) Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde... I've played in random bands since then, but nothing to the caliber of CanNot Justify! Throw up them horns and Be Metal!

COBRA -bass: Expect a pretty sweet bio up here soon.

SKIZZO- samples/synth: Travis Cameron born in the V.A. and raised in N. mpls scratched records as a child but was told that you never touched a record once it was on the turntable now disagrees and feels the best music he can make today is from manipulating vinyl records. He thanks everyone one in CanNot Justify for helping him pursue his dreams. Nothing is real-Everything is permitted.

RICK- drums: Rick will be playing the Sept. 13th show with CNJ @ The Dinkytowner. After that he is assuming a full time role in a pretty damn heavy local metal band! We wish him the best and thank him for all of the fun, dedication, and rhythm he has brought to CNJ.

SENIOR- drums: Senior hails from Des Moines, IA. Ive been playin the drums for about 10 years now. I grew up in a very strict home so I had to sneak around to listen to my favorite music...Metal! My main influences are: Dream Theater...Mike P is a god!, Pantera...Vinnie umm same thing, Metallica, All That Remains, Slipknot, and a whole shit ton (thats right I said shit ton) of others! I do NOT like long walks on the beach but would prefer to be sweating my ass off behind the kit! I play Mapex Pro-M drums, Sabian Cymbols, Vic Firth 5an Sticks. I have played in bands from Des Moines IA the most note worthy would be the Garage Lights. I'm looking forward to partying with all ya...


Influences: AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE AND SLIPKNOT...those are the main influences, and here are some others.... Dimmu Borgir, Celtic Frost,Opeth, Behemoth, Rotting Christ, Children of Bodom, Tool, Hate Eternal, Chimaira, A7X, Hatebreed, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Mudvayne, Mushroomhead, Cradle of Filth, Korn, Soilwork, In Flames, Shadows Fall, Mayhem, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Into Eternity, Black Sabbath, Dark Tranquility, Gojira, Tragic Demise, GNR, Nine Inch Nails ................... so many more.
Sounds Like: CNJ sounds like..... relatively open to debate. Musically our goal is to straddle the line between beast and beauty all the while keeping in mind that the songs are how we speak to the masses.
