The END draws near. Come here. Be. DO.

About Me


-The Start-
Red Orange Yellow
A fresh start. A new beginning. The time is right to re-animate this once thought lifeless shell of forgotten memories. Brothers, reunited at last to put in motion something that simply would not, could not die. Absent now are the falsities that impaired the truth of creation. No more pretty faces. Gone are the undertones required to make a name. Gone and replaced with the raw ether that resuscitates something inside, something that has long since deserved to be brought to the foreground.
Red Orange Yellow was conceived in the purity that those it involves were all capable of creating a sound that was a monument to the friendship that brought it together. Since it's initial birth and repeated revivals, Red Orange Yellow has experienced an evolution that has mutated it into what is now. Almost three years since the first incarnation, periods of off and on...well, more off than on have provided for the development of a sound that was not meant to be stowed away on some laboratory shelf. ROY thrives on with ex-Photo Atlas drummer Devon Shirley who has experienced an epiphany in terms of using his resources for purposes that correlate more with his desires. Kyle Gray, a dreamer and a saint who like Shirley, communicates his truth through a highly refined creativity dating back to his youth. Nick Martin, who once thought himself tracked to a lifestyle devoid of participating in such a grand creation, has through the inspiration of his closest friends, moved from the spectator to the creator. This trio, bonded by matter that runs deeper than blood, coupled with Holland Rock-Garden, who embodies that which his band mates encompass, synchronizes with ROY to augment a sound that with unfaltering consistency produces an enigmatic symphony that makes this current incarnation a revelation. So hear it now. Reverberation: Commence.
The end is near. The time has come for another day of destruction and wretchedness. Back to the paths of animation, fascination. We were once alive. Kicking and screaming for the right to breath, to live.

Symptoms of death


Pallor mortis, paleness which happens almost instantaneously (in the 15–120 minutes after the death) Algor mortis, the reduction in body temperature following death. This is generally a steady decline until matching ambient temperature Rigor mortis, the limbs of the corpse become stiff (Latin rigor) and difficult to move or manipulate Livor mortis, a settling of the blood in the lower (dependent) portion of the body Decomposition, the reduction into simpler forms of matter.
