VALKYRIE'S CRY

VALKYRIE'S CRY played the famous SWORD METAL FESTIVAL in GERMANY this May (2007). Unfortunately Niall was not with them making the journey, but he is still in negotiations to have him performing on their upcoming full length recording project - these guys shred speed metal faster than any band Niall has worked with - Niall says"my chops had better be in fine form for this one - think of running a marathon with a full sprint start to finish - trust me this one is going to take everything I got!!"

ABOUT ME - NIALL MELLORS

From a personal perspective I view myself as a fun, outgoing guy that loves to stay busy. I love going out socially checking out bands, watching sports or just hanging chatting with friends. Other things I love: cycling, chatting & chilling with the opposite sex, hanging at the beach, NFL football, and performing live and in the studio with my various musical projects to name a few.

My interest in rock music as a youngster got me involved in playing drums - and now I am playing ALL the time! Been banging the skins for years and now I thoroughly enjoy being a key member of various rock music projects that have allowed me to maintain and stretch my abilities.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 3/31/2006
Band Website: niallmellors.com
Band Members:
Influences: Tommy Lee of Motley Crue - first and foremost - How else can I explain the fact I played drums in just a leather g-string! NO I'm not kidding!!!!!
Sounds Like: What some may find refreshing is while my style of playing is described as a "rock" drummer" - I cover a wide range of "rock drumming". I enjoy covering the range from the most powerful double-bass drum heavy metal style pounding to a more relaxed power rock ballad or perhaps pop/rock style if that's what the music calls for - listen for yourself and see if you agree!
Type of Label: None
