About Me

Urisk, a multi-genre spanning instrumental power trio from Lynchburg, Virginia can be described with one word, huge. Their sound which is mostly derived from doom and stoner rock, but with numerous time changes and math parts, takes on a much more progressive edge than most other bands within the genre. Broadening their sound even further, Urisk utilizes droning and ambient soundscapes to create immense walls of sound. Influences of artists such as Earth, The Melvins and Confessor are evident in their music, but they still manage to maintain a fresh and unique sound. Urisk has started to gain a local following that continues to grow with every show, and with a new demo EP out and a full length due out this springthey look to expand their fan base on a much larger scale and work their way up through the underground metal world. »-(¯`v´¯)-» Design your MySpace with MyLook «-(¯`v´¯)-«
