Meris

Latest News:
Our latest recording is out right now. Information on how to get it is through our website www.merisband.com . One of the songs, Nova Scotia, is available up above so check it out, if you would. Here's the deal:
We're a metal-type band from the Bay Area. We play music we like and do what we can to have fun while playing it. That might include some head-banging, some grandma-panty-throwing, or the occassional fake mustache while playing with Metal Church at a dive bar in Concord, CA.
We have a really cool website:
www.merisband.com which you should check out for sure. Make sure to sign up for our mailing list to know about all the latest Meris shows and going-ons.
Vision:
We'd like to meet up with more bands of a similar style and mindset. We're into band unity and helping each other out (IE: trading shows, booking shows together, advice and so on.) We're not a "battle of the bands" type of band, we don't battle, we love.
Frequently Asked Questions:
“What does ‘Meris’ mean?”
There is no legitimate definition for “Meris”. As cliché as this answer is, we wanted something different, something that didn't necessarily possess a pigeonhole definition.
“How did you come up with the name, ‘Meris’?”
Sean was visiting a gallery in Rome, Italy. He came upon a room displaying works from one of his favorite artists, “Caravaggio”. The paintings were displayed under his birth name “Michelangelo Merisi”. Sean knew this was his name but was surprised to see them displayed this way. Observing the paintings and thinking of the name, the man, and the struggle that was Michelangelo Merisi, that became the ultimate inspiration for Meris.
