GRAVEHEART

About Me



First off, if this is your introduction to the band, welcome, and thanks for checking us out! Grab a beer and crank it up to eleven...this is GRAVEHEART!

Started in 2005 and born from the ashes of the almighty Blistered Earth, no longer bound to the thrash metal moniker, Graveheart brings everything they've been known for to an entirely new level.

These days, it's all too rare that a band rises above metal's blur of sub genre classifications, but Graveheart is an exception to the norm. Sometimes a band is just METAL. Not "black thrash". Not "death n' roll". Not "post-neo old school pagan powerdoom". Just simply METAL.

FUCK the fuckin' emo wimps, FUCK the "ironic crowd", and FUCK Guitar Hero (learn how to play a real fuckin' guitar)!

DRINK BEER, LISTEN TO OLD SCHOOL DEATH METAL, WATCH RAMBO...AND RAISE SOME HELL!!!

THAT is Graveheart!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/3/2005
Band Website: www.myspace.com/graveheartband
Band Members:
Andy - Throat/Thunderstik
The charsimatic frontman and bringer of low end also happens to be the world's ONLY endorsee of D'Aquisto bass strings. This fuckin' guy grew up listening to Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Pink Floyd. He fuckin' ropes beers and liquor, and he's probably the only guy in Massachusetts who's discovered that blasting The Crown always wins the war against your neighbor's shitty rap music. If you're unlucky, he might just take all your money in a game of poker, too.

Steve - Pointy guiars
This instigator of jackassery drinks beer, plays guitar, loves guns, and flips his lid over Motorhead, King Diamond, and old school deathmetal. He's also been known to chef a thing or two...noteable creations being "Gravewings" (available in Coffinscorcher and Dirty Jerk flavors!) and "Satanistic Chili". "Dude, we're gonna need more beer...", Steve's most common battlecry, even when there's 59 beers for each person drinking. Bringing death metal and outlaw country music to a porch near you!

Rutcho - Pointy guitars
Guitarist, keyboardist, producist, engineerist, tambourinist, cow bellist, whoopie cushionist, weed whackerist, and good ol' big tit enthusiast extraordinaire! Give this frick an instrument, and he'll work that son of a bitch over til it sings a tune or get drunk tryin'! All us metalheads have yet another reason to thank King Diamond for existing, because if he didn't, this bastard would probably be playing piano for Celine Dion or some shit. Fuck yeah, King...THANKS!! In his downtime, you might just find Rutcho reading books about dragon chasing and researching titties on the internet.

Graig - Skinhammer
This maniac sold his house and moved into a trailer park - not because of financial reasons, but so he would feel more at home with his surroundings! This stripper pole havin' son of bitch drinks beer and whiskey, shoots chicks in the head with beer cans shot from a leaf blower, possesses more porn than a smut shop, lights firecrackers off in his home, had a bizzare fascination with graves at an eerily early age, yet....has a DREAM THEATER tattoo. Yeah, you read that right. BUT, it's OK! He also has a Major League (the movie) tattoo! The mother fucker is the ONLY badass, die-hard Dream Theater fan on the planet, folks!
Influences: Beer, hot chicks, OLD SCHOOL death metal...hell, just about ALL old school metal...guns, grenades, tanks, cookouts, graves, strippers, the undead, night, Harley Davidson, coffins, horror movies, razor wire, buffalo wings, Rambo, ghouls, cannons, camaros, Tales from the Crypt, drinking on porches, and beer!
