members:Drei,vocals and lyrics."Ever since I was a young lad, I always enjoyed music.My biggest dream was actually just being in a band.In the begining stages of the band I was the support guitarist (rythm) and we were searching for the longest time for a bassist and vocalist.Well eventually,I became the bass player and started to learn to play and sing.Well,it didn't quite work out and I said "F*** it"and became vocalist.Yes I am a big fan of Cradle of Filth and the Japanese band Dir en grey, and these are the two bands that were the biggest injluence on my vocal style.But I do not like to think that I sound like either of them because this is my own voice.A very melodic (more like destuctive) mixture of screaming like a banshee and singing as if I were deaf".DEX,guitar,lyrics,programing,compositions."As a young boy, I was raised on bands such as Black Sabbath,The Beatles,AC/DC,and various heavy metal and classic rock bands.I got into,classical,death metal,and jazz in later years.I began playing guitar at age 10,being taught by the incredible Donavan King,my brother.I taught myself,here and there,and in 2003,I got profesional lessons in classical guitar from the incredible,Greg Shirer.I joined the band about 3 years ago,searching for a metal head's dream:melodic,yet aggresive guitar work,hamering bass lines,and killer drums."Shoji,bass,lyrics."At first I would say that I just got "into" music,but that wouldn't be a true statemen.When I was young, my aunt would turn the radio on so I could listen to classical music while I slept.And in Jr. High I played Clarinet in the band.II play bass,and have been with the band for about 3 years now, off and on,in all its encarnations.But we have stayed the same people, with almost the same ideas, and experience."
