SEEKING
Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Background Singer.ABOUT
Versatile guitarist and vocalist with heavy metal roots. Can shred, riff and rhythm with confidence but still modest enough to realise that I don't know everything by any means. Can turn my hand to most rock / blues based styles.
Vocally I can hit as high as some of the Miles Kennedy stuff (although that's not been my focus of late..) and I can scream both high (think glam rock style) or low (Trvium esque), also more than happy gurning in the middle like Eddie Vedder.

Influences
To be honest I live and breathe metal. My veins course with liquid mercury rather than blood! To summarise I grew up on Guns N Roses, Maiden, Motley Crue and Whitesnake. Got into Bay area thrash in school and enjoyed the grunge scene too for a while as that was very much my generation. Now into various types of 'core' (metal, death, grind whatever the new names are) stuff like As I Lay Dying, Trivium, Killswitch Engage. Enjoy the industrial stuff The Defiled, Rammstein, Motionless In White too and love horror punk... Wednesday 13, Murderdolls, Sister+, Misfits.
In terms of guitarists influences I would say they would have to be Slash, Zakk Wylde, Synyster Gates, Matt Heafy and Roman Surman.
