My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/29/2005
Band Members: nhoj - drums, kensan - bass, Jahnelle - angel voice, piano and flute, Steve Neideck - rhythm guitar, Marcus Whale (Scissor Lock) - ambient guitars, Pinkith - keyboard, mr. joel - extra drums
Influences: Massive Attack, Portishead, Cog, Muse, Karnivool, Terry Bozzio, Lars Ulrich, Rob Trujillo, Muse, Gene Hoglan, Danny Carey, Tomas Haake, Horace Andy, Dot Allison, Nelly Hooper, Sigur Ros, Roots Manuva, Justin Chancellor....
Sounds Like: Massive Attack on steroids? Part groove, part technical progression, Mezzanine influence with our own cards brought to the table. We feel that Mezzanine was one of the greastest albums made, and it created a new sound derived from a number of genres that hasn't been genuinely rivalled since.
Where Mezzanine had seductive female vocals, we may also try teenage female vocals to give it a unique and strange sound, and where Mezzanine had distorted guitars and grinding rock rhythms, we want to step it up a notch with double-kick drumming. In the process, we're introducing advanced timing concepts that only come from playing real instruments, instead of just sampling.
Type of Label: None
