Skrape Информация о группе Background Skrape released two albums through RCA records. Their debut album New Killer America was released in 2001 with two singles ("Waste" and "Isolated") eventually hitting the airwaves across America. Skrape toured with the likes of Pantera, Slayer and Morbid Angel in support of the album. It sold approximately 100,000+ copies in the United States. Their sophomore album Up the Dose was released in 2004, and steered away from their debut's nu metal sound. Several months after releasing the record, the band parted ways with their label – who had recently been taken over by J Records. The band member's moved on to other projects, and they ultimately disbanded. After Skrape In 2004, drummer Will Hunt became a member of the "supergroup" Dark New Day – which features former members of doubleDrive, Stereomud and Sevendust. Bassist Brian "Brix" Milner went on to join Chicago industrial band dope, and singer Billy Keeton has continued to pursue his musical career with various projects, such as the highly anticipated but short-lived Blessed in Black (featuring former members of Nothingface). Currently, Keeton does vocals for local Florida cover band Money Shot when he is not working with former members of Primer 55 in Bobby Burns (Soulfly) and Kobie Jackson. Formerly titled Paris is Burning, the three have named the project King Street. http://wikipedia.org/ "If you can't fuck or fight to it, it's no good," proclaims Skrape drummer and band co-founder Will Hunt. "That's the context for us. It's Ota have rhythm and an incredible groove you can shake your ass to." Up the Dose has all that and more. The band's second album for RCA finds the Orlando-based quintet in a different musical head space from when they released 2001's brutal yet melodic New Killer America--which pummeled active rock radio in the States with the singles "Waste" and "Isolated"-- and rose quickly to become the twelfth best-selling album in Japan. A festival in Japan, a gig in Korea with that country's most famous band, Seo Taiji, and a U.S. tour with Disturbed found Skrape playing for thousands of fanatical converts. Skrape songs also found their way into video games, including Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4 and their album cover even won awards. Skrape also created their own video for "What You Say," performance intercut with Japanamation, subsequent to the clip for first single "Waste." Clearly a motivated bunch of musicians, Skrape also take life lessons to heart, as gleaned in the sentiments expressed on Up The Dose. “Over the last few years there were a lot of highlights…and some lowlights," explains Hunt. "And it all has to do with where we are at right now, which is a great place." A 2001 tour with the Pantera, Slayer and Morbid Angel "gave us a lot of thick skin," Hunt says of the intense, aggro crowds they faced nightly. "We were like, 'if you don't like us, well good, here's another one!’" he laughs of Skrape's uncompromising performances and 'tude. Adds Keeton, “My experiences on tour with Phil Anselmo were life-changing to me as a musician, as a frontman and as a songwriter.” The Pantera tour also weeded out any weak links in the band. So it was with a new guitarist (Randy Melser replacing axeman Mike Lynchard), a new management company and a renewed spirit that Skrape wrote and then recorded their sophomore effort with producer Jimbo Barton (Queensryche, Godsmack) in Miami, Los Angeles and Orlando. "We wanted old school,” said Hunt. “We are big fans of how Jimbo's records sounded; sonically, they hold up." Barton also developed a strong bond with Keeton during the recording process. “He was able to bring my vocal performance up to another level entirely. He and I just clicked. Jimbo created a atmosphere that allowed me to explode vocally.” http://numetal.ru/ Участники Billy Keeton – Vocals Brian Milner – Guitar, Keyboard Randy Melser – Guitar Pete Sison – Bass Will Hunt – Drums Дискография 2001 - New Killer America 2004 - Up The Dose Страна USA Стиль Post Grunge, Alternative Metal |
