Sean Silas

About Me

Sean has been playing guitar in So.Cal. For 20 years. His parents introduced him to music at the age of 7 through classical piano and the accordian. After a few years of piano, he found a love listening to hard rock. While listening to the likes of KISS and OZZY, Sean decided to pick up the guitar. He modeled himself in the styles of Randy Rhoads from Ozzy and George Lynch from Dokken.
His first studio experiences began when he had only been playing guitar for 2 years. Sean was competing in many guitar competitions through the years. He has been in many recording sessions that ranged from Rap to Metal etc.
At 19 years of age, he started his first professional band, Freewill with John Boudreau, Jerry Boudreau, Steve Bell, Then they joined up with Keith Miles, (Todd Norris 1st drummer)(CG Ryche - replaced Todd), Randy Davidson to form Holy Right. When Holy Right Brokeup that is when IRONWRATH formed in 1989. Ironwrath played many shows thru the years (opening for Freight Train Jane, Alex Masi, etc) and even went to Cornerstone 89.
In between Ironwrath, Sean joined up with Metal band Mach X. They were a progressive band that was up and coming but didnt make it because of internal issues within the band.
Thru the 90's, Sean played with Ironwrath with many different band members until there last show at Knotts Berry Farm's Halloween Haunt of 95. Soon after the Ironwrath breakup, Sean decided to get more into the digital age of music. In 1999, Sean joined up with Keith Miles and Ray Kilsdonk (Titanic) to form a industrial band called Helnbac. They recorded a 4 song ep.
Soon after Helnbac in the same year, Sean and Ray formed the band Lithium X, with Robert Sweet (drummer for Stryper). They tracked 4 more songs that sean composed for the band. Then, in 2001, Sean hookedup with singer Bobby Wasson and drummer, Tim Evans and formed Stench. Soon after stench, He departed and pursued Hardcore band Sevenfold Image.
Being married, Sean decided to take a break from music. After his 3 year break, He started writing more music along with his wife. She inspired him to be more diverse in his style.
In present time, He hoped to release his debut CD called SSinvasion and hopes to write music for movies and console game platforms.
