Artist History After two years of writing the songs & music. Auditions were held for each position. J.D. Watty earned the position as drummer. Donny Sheperd got the rhythm guitar spot, and Jon Mark Jenkins a former metal vocalist in the late 80's has filled the bass guitar & backing vocal duties. The final spot of guitars & lead vocals, was of course, controlled by Jerry "Maniac" Mattox. The members are diverse in age with Jerry & Jon Mark being the elders in their 30's, and J.D. & Donny are of the current wild youth generation. This cool mixture of philosophies has created a new & unique sound in metal music. The band includes both the "Rock Of Ages" attitude where the muscians were very schooled in their talents, and not afraid to play their instruments to the max, to pure raw modern metal. It seems that so many bands today copy one another in order to ride the rainbow of whats happening now. It's refreshing to see something truly new. Please add this CD to your collection, you will not be dissappointed. Shad O'Shea - Fraternity Records.
