About Me
Consider this the soundtrack to your death. Lurking in the shadows of your worst nightmare lives a mystery of terror, a mythical beast in pursuit of your soul, run but you
will never hide from this unescapable fate that is, the YETI. Bringing the brutality from the backwoods of hell to Hollywood, Glendon Crain (drums), KJ Duval (guitar), Josh
Newell (bass), Connor Garritty (vocals) played their first show of the year at On the Rox on March 9th. A journey of escape from a metaphorical monster through streams
of swamp-like guitars, spastic transitions of slow to heavy drumming and horror-filled screams, have given birth to a sound that brutally intertwines Pantera-esque southern
metal grooves with hostile doses of grimy hardcore. Tales of such beasts don’t live solely in the sounds of YETI, in the track "Deep Creek" lyrics read, "Ten feet tall with
eyes of fire burning bright, awful stench like garbage and rotting flesh...listen here a story unfolds tonight, say a prayer now learn a lesson in fright", the concept deriving
from vocalist Connor’s childhood obsession with the creature. A force to be reckoned with, the live performance of YETI makes you wonder where they’ve been hiding all of
these years. Like true pioneers of metal, YETI bleeds the blood of seasoned veterans who have molded their experiences from past projects and influences together, cultivating an orchestra of deep-seeded rage planted with southern roots.
No stranger to the savage music industry, drummer Glendon Crain whom recently disbanded from industrial-rock group, Godhead, shared his thoughts ..ing a new
project after touring the world in a group in which he had no creative outlet, "I have been in bands where i was the "hired gun" for the last few years... Lots of fun and no
regrets, but nothing compares to the feeling of writing music that comes from everyone involved with the project. As a band we aren’t afraid to try everyones ideas in order to
reach the best possible outcome...The creative process is just as much fun as the end result!!!" Proving that every end can result in a positive start, YETI is currently in
the studio recording an 8-song demo and will be performing throughout Southern California and the Northwest in 2008. Words do no justice, let the beast speak for itself. - Metal Melissa
