Hurt Trail

About Me

Greetings. My name is Nick and this is basically years of me putting together my love for music. I play guitar , keyboards , drum programming, attempt and fail at vocals but hey I'm a guitarist first and foremost. I hail from the tiny town o' Boothbay and have recently moved to Portland to follow my music and hope to make Hurt Trail a reality and begin looking for other musicians. I'd like to think my music is fairly open to anything , female/male singer , either would work nicely.To describe my music . . .hmmm. Its metal and melodic , and when I hear those words I feel ill. Its done to death but my music is different and far from mainstream. (THIS IS NOT METALCORE) I try to make the metal as brutal as possible and draw on influences from the epic feel of black metal , the brutality/speed of death metal , to the haunting melody of symphony , anything that gets the blood pumping. As far as melody is concerned I grew up on Live (granted they gradual transformed into a generic pop band later on but anyways) and am a big Sarah Mclachlan and Tori Amos fan. My openmindedness hopefully shines through in the tracks. Enjoy and thanks for the support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Ah , so cliche for people in metal to attack emo but its so fucking awful so here's my two cents.Also being from Maine and all I have to shout out to NO HIT VIDEOS. Its a show that showcases Maine's metal and also plays some good music videos too. Saturdays at 10 on channel 9 I believe. (course this information is useless if you're not from Maine but anyhoo)

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 01/01/2006
Band Members: Nick - everything (7 , 6 and 12 string guitars , keyboards , drum machine , occasional shitty vocals ) I own a violin and a lap harp too. . .I fucking suck at violin but eventually I'll incorporate the lap harp into the music cuz they're fucking gorgeous sounding.NOTICE: Just because its a one man band doesn't mean its intentional , I hope to one day get a good band going its just I'm extremely protective of my music.
Influences: Its hard to say influenced by , I try to do something noone else has done but as for my personal tastes I listen to anything from Bjork and Neil Young to Strapping Young Lad and other extreme metal.
Sounds Like: a burning giraffe screaming for its life
Type of Label: Major
