About Me


BOOMSLANG is a progressive metal band that takes an innovative approach to the realm of metal music.
From the very beginning, BOOMSLANG has been driven to inaugurate their listeners to a new and indescribable musical experience. With tight, well-versed songs that appear like magic they clearly stand out from the rest. Their original hooks, powerful vocals, and wide range of hypnotic and potent harmonies, give this band an edge. They clearly prove they are a force to be reckoned with. Their drive and dedication to the music and their fans sets these guys apart.
Boomslang rewrites the rules of metal with an unparalleled live performance. Every act is a riveting experience, brimming with unpredictable stage antics that draws their audience into a realm of metal music that is different from the norm. Each member of this power group brings his distinct style and talent to create the bands musical intensity that leads the crowd into a compelling display of power and energy. This energy, passion and dedication has led to their strong following and die-hard fan base throughout the U.S. and Europe.
With standout tracks like "So Long" and "How Does It Feel?", look for BOOMSLANG to be a major force in the metal landscape for years to come.
The band recently released its debut CD entitled INSANITY which they recorded at Sleepless Nights Studio in Madison, WI with Paul Schluter as engineer and co-producer and was mastered by Greg Reely of Vancouver .
BOOMSLANG has kicked off the year 2008 with their usual ferocity. Most recently they opened for Jackyl to a Sold Out crowd of 3,500 people in their hometown of Danville. With BOOMSLANG at the start of the lineup, tickets sold out in just 2 days. In 2007 they were responsible for the creation of the first ever all day Metalfest in their hometown featuring several various bands from the Region. The event was so successful it's happening again this year. It is now sponsored by eXtra 99.1 of Champaign, IL and will feature some of the best Metal talent in the Midwest.
BOOMSLANG intends to continue the momentum and plans to spread its name and talent as far is it can possibly go and feed their ferocious appetite.
BOOMSLANG is returning to the studio in March 2008 and are currently shopping for a record label.

Sounds Like: ALL THAT IS BOOMSLANG

"Boomslang, demands your attention with their debut CD, Insanity. Featuring six tracks, including one live cut, they attack your speakers with pounding metal laced with melodic vocals reminiscent of Alice In Chains and Metallica. Backed by top-notch musicianship and solid songwriting, Boomslang's Insanity is a perfect example of arena-ready rock."
-Susan Masino
Let There Be Rock-The Story of AC/DC

"Boomslang's energy will kick you between the eyes with their thick and heavy guitar hooks that are surrounded by precision harmonies and a primal lead vocal. Their six track E.P. features a hybrid genre that lends itself to rock radio charts, yet still rings true for hardcore metal fans. The perfect combination for success in the international metal music scene."
-Don Coleman
A/R Group International

“Boomslang is exploding across the Midwest and are our 1 most requested local group. Their rabid fan base never misses a chance to call in and request them and make their voices heard. They are one of the most impressive bands to come out of East Central Illinois in Decades. In three words…These Guys ROCK!”
