Artist description The Black Lodge encompasses all that is authentic and unadulterated in music. Formed in late 1996, this four-member, Detroit-based group, has established themselves with their haunting lyrics and original composition. The inspiration behind this group comes in the form of the four deeply committed and talented men whose charisma and ability aid in delivering the best performance they can impart every time they grace a recording studio or a stage. Four years later, The Black Lodge continues to develop their talents with the diligence and ingenuity that is non-existent in the pop-laden music that our eyes and ears have been inundated with recently.Jason Harper?s piercing, soul-purging vocals, combined with Dee Baranski?s raw, biting guitar, the driving force of Ray Hill?s cutting bass rhythm, and Joe Clark?s tenacious drums round out The Black Lodge?s sound to deliver a complete and blended collection of truly stimulating work. The resulting sound achieved is reminiscent of bands such as Our Lady Peace, whose melodic and beautifully distressing lyrics, resonate in The Black Lodge?s eloquent pursuit of expression. The Black Lodge also parallels groups like Finger Eleven and Stone Temple Pilots, whose sinuous combination of vocals and instruments captivates the audience in its complexities.The Black Lodge continues to play locally, gaining a steady following of appreciative fans who can attest to the determination and introspective quality that will inevitably prove to set The Black Lodge apart from anything you have ever heard.
