About Me

Taking the stage for the first time in May of 2006, Fierenz began as a highly experimental band. Maintaining a focus on diversity in the writing process, the style quickly progressed towards hard rock and metal. Percussionist Nick Whitehead folds a fusion of jazz and rock beats into heavy, pounding drum lines. This lays the foundation for bassist Evan Kehr to show his talent as an innovative and resourceful player; adding punk lead and metal rhythm tones to his grooving bass textures and raw emotion to his supporting vocals.
Vocalist and guitarist Nathan Kehr brings a flavor of old-school hard rock and new-school metal to the mix with his sincere, melodic vocals and lyrical prowess coupled to refreshing chord progressions and flowing harmonies. Guitarist Cameron Yoder accents the Fierenz sound with brilliantly clean vocal harmonies and inspired, outlandish lead tones that compliment the music and drive the songs over the edge.
Heavy guitar riffs accented with melodic leads and memorable twin guitar solos compliment intense, technical bass lines and frenzy-inducing drums. The songs are hard-hitting, high-energy explosions of sound and musical lunacy that aim to crush the weak and embolden those who create valid music in its purest forms.
After releasing their debut (A|sys|tol|e) in the Fall of 2006, Fierenz began an intense live show campaign that spanned six states and included over sixty performances. Heading back to the studio in March of 2007, Fierenz released a follow-up E.P. entitled Welcome to Retail... which has sold nearly 1,000 copies and earned them a reputation as one of the premier recorded and live acts in the Great Lakes region.
Following another intense round of touring throughout the Spring and Summer of 2007, Fierenz is currently supporting their latest release while simultaneously writing new material for an up-coming full-length album.
The band has ultimately settled on a sound that brings together the most unique aspects of rock, metal, alternative and punk. Fierenz is an atmospheric yet staggering musical cocktail that emphasizes all aspects of the music and all members as individual musicians.
Fierenz are undeniably unique and indisputably motivated. Are you ready to be a part of something?
