CULLING THE WEAK - Culling the weak [2009]

"Culling the Weak is a band focused on diversity, combining different influences from all sides of music to create one idea to better illustrate our message. The term Culling the Weak means to separate the weak from the herd to make better means for survival. Our meaning behind Culling the Weak is to stand by the weak, be their strength and help rid themselves of their weaknesses. With that, we create a much greater scale of people willing to stand along side one another. A message we all must embrace to build a better future of us.

Our diversity derives from influences the world over. From Europe to the U.S. covering styles such as black metal, death metal, melodic hardcore, thrash metal with hints of power metal and punk rock. Trying to have no limitation on what we can create and only going forward in our abilities to give this to the world. There is so much out there to be inspired by, we find that for us breaking the boundaries of sub genres and just creating what’s in your heart to be our driving force. This is only the beginning for us to show what “metal” is capable of when walls are torn down and nothing is set in stone." Culling The Weak

THE AMERICAN DOLLAR - Atlas [2010]

Started by high school friends John Emanuele and Richard Cupolo from Queens, NY in 2005, The American Dollar creates pieces that wholly captivate and engage the listener. The duo fuses processed drums, spacious keyboards and powerful organ swells with electric guitar and bass, creating deep sonic textures while maintaining the passion and energy of a live band. The swirling soundscapes build and swell, punctuated by glitchy beats, breathing and expanding into crashing guitars and soaring leads: precisely constructed symphonies for a new era.

VOYAGER - Discography [2008 - 2011]

Boston-based ambient sludge metal band. The band combines a wide variety of influences, creating a style of post-metal that fuses the melancholy and melody of bands like Cult of Luna and Katatonia with massive, crushing riffs and a sense of urgency hinting at their roots in hardcore and sludge (ala Crowbar, Will Haven, Coalesce, etc).

The band released a well-received self-titled debut EP in 2008 on Forgotten Empire records, and a split 12” LP with Monolith (Philadelphia) in 2010 on the NYC-based Silence of Silence label. As of November 2010, the group has changed their name to simply ‘VYGR’ to avoid confusion with other acts, and has recorded a full-length album titled “Hypersleep” which is due for a January 2011 release through San Francisco label, Creator-Destructor.

YOUR MEMORIAL - Seasons [2008]

Your Memorial does just that with their brand of progressive crushing rhythms that meld into ambient swells of melody. Although their influences span multiple genres, their impassioned laser-focus is what makes Your Memorial a stand-out metal act.

Unconfined to one genre alone, Your Memorial strives to create songs that harness many genres and aspects of music. With their debut full length ‘Seasons’ they’re taking a dual concept approach bringing you through the seasons of the year and seasons of life. From progressive crush to the relief of ambient swells and melodies their sound is wound tightly together by precision drumming, crisp guitars, and monstrous vocals. Your Memorial is bringing their multi-genre phenomenon to cities all over the US!

Another band who has changed my vision of metal. Cult album.

FOREST OF SHADOWS - Departure [2004]

Forest of Shadows was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in the autumn of 1997 by Niclas Frohagen. After months of searching for members to form the band of my dreams I grew tired and decided to make it a solo-project. During this first period I wrote and recorded the songs “The Silent Cry”, “Under the Dying Sun”, “Moments in Solitude” and “November Dream”. These early recordings were later on featured on the ‘98-promo “Under the Dying Sun”.
