ACKROMATSâ„¢

I n 2003, Coffin Doll.. and Wrestle Raven.. were in junior high and on that day of January 7th, CD.. decided to create a deathrock band. WRaven.. and CD.. put their heads together and starting writing dark poetry and song lyrics that have influenced their lives of hell. "We get are songs from a lot of places" says CD... for example, HORROR,HALLOWEEN,MOVIES,RELIGION,PORN,LITERATURE,HISTORY,TV, ART,PHILOSOPHY,TAROT AND OCCULT,HOLLYWOOD, DISNEY, AND FINALLY OUR OWN FUCKING LIVES WHICH WE LIVE THROUGH EVERY FUCKING DAY".
What are the plans for the band once the new album is released
We hope when our first album "SEX TOYS©" BRINGS WORLD DOMINATION AND MAJOR FUN CHAOS. SOME OF US HAVE STUFF ON THE SIDE THAT WE ARE DOING BESIDES SING AND FUCKING WITH PEOPLES MINDS.
COFFIN DOLL..:writing my first book "Children and the Weeping Toys" basically its a story about a brother and sister who are 8 years old and happen to notice that their toys they get on Christmas morning look all sad and don't notice that these toys are under a warlocks spell" its gonna be a really good book
Wrestle Raven..-I'm making hoodies for the band so that we have our own wicked devilish identity and with the help of CD.. we can make line of t-shirts and hoodies. I hoping to appear at a WWF showdown in the near future.
Mad Maloney: is playing in another band and basically hangs out at pool hall or in his room practing his guitar and drums
AJ and Big Mike: we have no idea on what they're up to.
WHAT IS OUR FAVORITE SONG
COFFIN DOLL..-Ghost Manor and Porno Playground
Wrestle Raven..-End of the World and Dark Winds of the Dead Sea
Mad Maloney-Virgins of all Virgins and Did I Scare You
AJ-all very fun to play and clash to but i like Devil Daddy

How would you describe your new album
"SEX TOYS" to someone unfamiliar with your music?.
Coffin Doll..-Deathrock! gothic/metal/punk/glam/bat cave/rockabilly/ and other. if we had our way...it would be a horror movie porno

OUR BIOGRAPHY
AN UNKNOWN DEATHROCK BAND IN HAMDEN CT, STARTED IN 2003 BY TWO COUSIN COFFIN DOLL AND WRESTLE RAVEN, WHO WANTED TO PUT THEIR OWN MATERIAL OF GOTH,HALLOWEEN,AND EVILNESS INTO A WORLD THAT HAS JUST BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWN. IN 2004, MAD MALONEY JOINED THE LINE UP AS THEIR DRUMMER. CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A BASS PLAYER AND GUITARIST LOCALLY. THE BANDS HOMEPAGE IS RIGHT NOW BEING WORKED ON. THEIR FIRST WEBSITE WAS ON MYSPACE, SINCE JAN 27 2005 THEY'VE ON MYSPACE AND LOW AMOUNT OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS SUPPORTING THEIR BAND. HOPING THAT THEIR FIRST ALBUM "SEX TOYS & ZOMBIES" CONTAINING 15 ORIGINAL SONGS AND A SPECIAL BONUS SONG "EVERYDAY IS HALLOWEEN".WRESTLE RAVEN IS CREATING A HOODIE FOR THE BAND AND ALL OF YOU. SOME OF OUR SONGS COME FROM CALIFORNIA, BUT WHY IS A LOCAL CT BAND WRITING ABOUT CALIFORNIA? GREAT QUESTION, WELL COFFIN DOLL LOVES CALIFORNIA, THE STORIES AND HISTORY FASINATE HIM, BUT AS LONG AS WE HAVE FUN WRITING OUR SONGS, WE IN GOOD HANDS. DISNEY IS HUGE PART OF OUR LIVES AND SOME SONGS WE CONTRIBUTE TO DISNEY. OUR SENSE OF FASHION AND TIPS COMES FROM THE WORLD FAMOUS ASTROVAMPS. HENCE THEY ARE FIRST THE REASON WHY WE STARTED A BAND. OUR INFLUENCES COME FROM ASTROVAMPS,KISS,CRADLE OF FILTH,STOLEN BABIES AND MARILYN MANSON. MUSIC IS A MAJOR PART OF OUR LIVES AND HOPE SOMEDAY THAT WE WILL BECOME WELL KNOWN ALL OVER THE WORLD. SUPPORT US AND LONG LIVE DEATHROCK. BLESSED BE AS WE SAY "CHILDREN OF DARKNESS ARE DEMONS FROM HELL...SO ENTER A WORLD DARK DEMENTED INSANE FREAKS AND HALLOWEEN PORN"
Starting in late 2003, keyboardist Wrestle Raven and vocalist/guitarist Coffin Doll created Ackromats as a media for their shared taste on the darker side of the musical spectrum. Ackromats quickly generated a local cult following. Within just a few months, the group released its first full-length album “Children’s Nightmares” 19 songs that were as different as the band itself.
By the next six months, the group had an established fan base that stretched to Eastern Ukraine. The Ackromats decided to add a full time bass player and drummer. AJ Vignola (bass guitar) and Patrick Maloney (drummer) joined the lineup in 2005.
The group's second release “FREAK” (coming in spring 2009) It was the first with a complete lineup and featured a much more mature sound for the group.
The Ackromats concentrated on playing live for the next year and a half and opened up for acts like Goth legends Christian Death and Jack Tebano was asked to be in the band, but decided to drop out instead. Also coming in mid summer of 2007 will be the release of the Ackromats self-titled cd. It is the bands best work to date and is creating some great possibilities for this young group, the Ackromats are hopping and praying that they might hopefully plan a mid summer tour across the western and central United States with a complete U.S. and European tour for the fall/winter.
IN LATE 2003, TWO COUSIN WRESTLE RAVEN (KEYBOARDS/LYRICS) AND COFFIN DOLL (GUITAR, VOCALS) WERE ONLY IN JUNIOR HIGH (MIDDLE SCHOOL) SAT DOWN AND PUT THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AND SAID “LETS PUT A BAND TOGETHER AND BE WILD”. ONLY IN THE 8TH GRADE WITH NO MUSIC TALENT OR NO IDEA OF WHERE THEIR FUTURE WAS GONNA LEAD THEM, INSPIRED BY THE WORLDWIDE LEGENDARY DEATHROCK BAND ASTROVAMPS WAS A START TO A NEW LIFE OF HOLLYWOOD GLAM/HALLOWEEN/MACABRE AND SENSE OF STYLE, FASHION AND FLARE.
IF YOU HAD TO ASK THE W.RAVEN AND CD, THEY WOULD ALSO SAY THAT KISS (LIKE SO MANY BANDS OF MAJOR, INDIE, AND UNKNOWN ARE INFLUENCED BY THEM). SOUGHT THAT WHY NOT BE A COMBINATION OF ASTROVAMPS AND KISS BUT WITH OUR OWN WRITING MATERIAL AND SIMIALAR FASHION. BEFORE ACKROMATS EVER BECAME AT LEAST KNOWN LOCALLY IN HAMDEN CT. COFFIN DOLL APPEARED IN OTHER ROCK BANDS. SUMMER OF 1997, COFFIN DOLL WAS ONLY 8 WHEN HE FIRST PERFOMED HIS ORIGINAL WRITTEN SONG “POISON APPLE” IN A ASSEMBLY AT RIDGE HILL ELEMANTARY SCHOOL, VERY SHY AT FIRST THEN GOT UP HIS COURAGE AND ROCKED AWAY. “POISON APPLE” WAS A NUMBER ONE HIT AT RIDGE HILL, IMPRESSED WITH HIS WORK, 3RD GRADE TEACHER-MR. LARRY STEIN QUOTE “CD, YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR SONG OFF TO THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY AND SEE IF THEY LIKE AND HAVE IT BECOME A HIT”. CD WAS FAR TO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND WHAT A NUMBER ONE HIT WAS. THE WORLD OF ROCK WAS UNKNOWN IN HIS LIFE, VERY MUSIC ROCK SONGS AND BANDS THAT WERE INFLUENCED SUCH AS AEROSMITH, ALICE COOPER, MARILYN MANSON, KITTIE, JAMES BROWN (REST IN PEACE 1933-2006) AND ONE VERY IMPORTANT INTERESTING FACT ON THE ACKROMATS IS THAT SOME SONGS ARE A TRIBUTE TO WALT DISNEY AND ALL HIS MOVIES FROM 1928 TO Y2K AND NOW IN 2007, DISNEY WILL AND ALWAYS WILL PLAY A VERY MAJOR ROLE IN THE ACKROMATS WORLD. THE DAY OF HIS FIRST PERFORMANCE, DRESSED TO KILL AS THE YOUNGEST ROCKER AN ELEMENTARY HAS SEEN. DECKED OUT IN BLACK EYESHADOW AND BLACK LIPSTICK WITH A FACE PAINTED WHITE, CONVERSE SNEAKERS, BLACK VINYL GLOVES, EACH ARM THAT WAS WRAPPED IN HIS THREE PYRIMD BRACLET AND AROUND HIS NECK A CROSS. HIS APPEARANCE SHOCKED THE STUDENT BODY AND TEACHERS (INCLUDING PARENTS), SADLY CD’S PARENTS WEREN’T ABLE TO SEE HIS FIRST “MINI” CONCERT. BY THE END OF CD’S PERFORMANCE A ROAR IN THE CROW, WITH THE STUDENTS CHANTING “AGAIN, MORE, WE WANT MORE”, CD CLASHED HIS WILDNESS AND UNSTOPPABLE BEHAVIOR. SOME PARENTS FOUND HIS PERFOMANCE WAY OVER THE TOP AND OTHERS SUPPORTED. DESPITE HIS FREAKYNESS AND STYLE OF BEHAVIOR CD’S SCHOOL LIFE WAS EITHER GOOD OR TERRIFYING.
IN THE FALL OF 1998, CD WAS TRANSFERRED TO A REDNECK/HICK/RACIST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ACROSS HAMDEN-ALICE PECK. CD DAYS AND YEARS IN ALICE PECK CAUSED HIM TO BE UNDER A LOT OF PEER PRESSURE, STRESS AND TENSIONS AROSE FROM TIME TO TIME. ALICE PECK’S RACIST STUDENTS FOUND IT NECESSARY TO BULLY MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY CD, THE TEACHER’S VERBAL ABUSE WAS SO PAINFUL AT TIME’S CD HAD SUICED THOUGHTS. CD REACHED 5TH GRADE, HIS SECOND YEAR, AT A RACIST SCHOOL, ALONG THAT SAME YEAR, REQUESTED BY HIS PARENTS TO TAKE PART TIME IN THE SPECIAL EDUCATION WAS GOING TO BE A WHOLE NEW CROWD. MRS. JOYCE SANSEVERINO (ACKROMATS FAVORITE TEACHER) CAME AND SOUGHT AS NOT ONLY A TEACHER BUT A TRUE FRIEND AND BUDDY YOU CAN ALWAYS COUNT. “NO ONE IS BETTER AND NO ONE CAN HAVE THE GREAST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD THAN MRS. SANSEVERINO” SAYS CD (MAY 2000). JUNE 19TH 2000, LAST DAY OF SCHOOL, CD WALKS AWAY WITH PUNK/ANARCHY ATTITUDE AND WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. LATE ON DURING MID SUMMER, LETTER FROM ALICE PECK STATING THAT CD MUST STAY BACK A YEAR. “AS MAD AS FUCK, THOSE STUDENTS ARE WAY TOO YOUNG FOR ME TO HANG OUT WITH” SAY CD. SEPTEMBER 4TH FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, A NEW LIFE AND NEW BEGINNING, CD ENTIRES HIS 2ND YEAR OF 5TH GRADE. UPON ENTERING THE ROOM WITH NEW AND UNUSAL FACES, HIS SHYNESS AND GOTH STYLE GIVES OFF A SINGLE OF MANIACK. WHEN LUNCH TIME APPORACHED NO ONE TO SIT WITH AND WHO LET ME SIT WITH HIM OR HER. THEN RECESSE HIT THE SPOT, CD ENCOUNTER WRESTLE RAVEN, READY TO FIGHT WITH FISTS STEPHANIE ORR STOPS THE FIGHT AND MANAGES TO MAKE BOTH OF THEM FRIENDS. MONTHS PASS AND FEBRUARY ARRIVED WHEN A MIDGET INVITED BOTH CD AND W.RAVEN TO PARTY AT CHUCKIE CHEESSES IN WALLINGFORD CT, WHILE HAVING A GREAT FANTASTIC TIME, THE PARTY IS COMING TO AN END…W.RAVEN’S FATHER AND CD’S MOTHER BOTH ARRIVE AT THE SAME TIME TO BRING BOTH HOME. A STRANGE AND UNUSAL CONQUISIDANCE RAVEN AND CD ARE COUSINS, FROM THAT POINT ON COUSIN HOOD BEGAN. NOW STILLING HANGIN OUT AND ROCKIN WRESTLE RAVEN AND COFFIN DOLL ARE MAKING PROGRESS WITH THEIR BAND.
SUMMER OF 2003, THE BIRTH OF THE ACKROMATS, WHILE HANGIN OUT AT SMILIES ARCADE IN MILFORD CT, A PUNK/GOTHIC/EMO PARTY THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY, AND A IDEA FORMED. COFFIN DOLL AND WRESTLE RAVEN PUT THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AND SAID, “LET’S MAKE A ROCK BAND” WITH COFFIN DOLL’S ART, MUSIC AND MOVIE TALENT, FETISH FOR HALLOWEEN AND VINYL, AND ANYTHING IN BLACK. WRESTLE RAVEN’S POETRY, AND KEYBOARDING, NETWORKING, VAMPIC AND PHILOSOPHY MADE THE GOTHIC COMMUNITY BETTER AND MORE WELL KNOWN IN SCHOOLS. 8TH GRADE 2003 WELCOMED THE RELEASE OF “CHILDREN’S NIGHTMARES” WHICH LOCALLY WAS ONLY 38% OF THEIR POPULARITY AND THE NAME ACKROMATS NOT EVEN THOUGHT, AT THE TIME OF THEIR RISING OF THEIR BAND, WAS ORIGINALLY NAMED “BLOODYDOLLS18” FINDING OTHER MUSICANS WAS A VERY HARD AND DIFFICULT PROCESS, DONALD BURGH AT PUNK (BASS), AND SAM DELUCA (DRUMS) ONLY LASTED FOR A WHILE UNTIL BOTH CD AND WR ENTIRED HIGH SCHOOL. GIGS AND PERFORMANCE WAS A FUCKED EXPERIENCE IN THE BEGINNING. THE BAND SUFFERED AND BROKE UP IN FALL OF 2004. BOTH DONALD AND SAM WENT OFF TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF CT, NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN.
ALONG LAST DRUMMER MAD MALONEY JOINED THE ACKROMATS, AJ VIGNOLA-CD’S COUSIN ONLY LASTED A LITTLE WHILE, PAT TEBANO (ACKROMATS WORST ENEMY-HE’S A FUCKING ASSHOLE AND LOSER) REQUESTED TO BE IN THE BAND, LOST CONTROL OF MIND HE TOOK OVER AND 2 DAYS LATER WAS KICKED OUT. MEANWHILE, RAVEN WAS SETTING HIS PROJECT IN THE MAKING OF HIS POETRY BOOK “THE DEAD CHERRY TREE ON CRIMSION RIVER” AND “THE DARK AMERIKAN RAVE” ALSO THAT INCLUDES THE BAND HOODIE. RAVEN YEARS IN GRADE SCHOOL TO HIGH SCHOOL HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A BREATHER. RAVEN’S LAZY EYE AND IDIOTIC PERVERTED HUMOR HAS ALWAYS CAPTIVATED PEOPLE FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER, RAVEN’S DREAM IS TO BECOME PART TIME WORKING FOR WWF WRESTLING. RAVEN’S GRADE SCHOOL LIFE LIVING A REDNECK/RACIST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MADE HIM VERY WEAK AND EMOTIONALLY SICK, TREATMENT AND ABUSE TOWARD HIM MADE HIM ALSO HAVE SUICIDES. DURING THE FRESHMAN FOR CD, HE SECRETLY WAS IN HOME VIDEO PORN MOVIES WITH GIRLS WHO WORKED AT HOOTERS AND V.I.P. HIS SEX ACTS AFTER SCHOOL MADE HIM HAPPIER AND A LITTLE NERVOUS BECAUSE OF THE DISEASE HIV OR STDS. HE STOPPED BUT STILL CONTINUED TO ENJOY HIS SEX LIFE WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND. AT THE SAME TIME FINALLY RAVEN AND CD DECIEDED TO PUT A FULL LENGTH ALBUM TOGETHER.
