Miracleman is...Russ Kroeker (drums,Bass,Vocals, Guitar) and Gerry Anderson(Guitar,Bass, Vocals). As a duo, we obviously don't perform this music live (for now), but both of us have lots of experience in the past playing in the secular music world. Russ has a backgound in the Thrash/Heavy Metal world, while Gerry has a background in the Hard Rock Genre.
Russ previously released CD's with the bands CONDEMNED and PILLAR, while Gerry worked with the band CRASH. All three bands were popular during the 90's SEATTLE Music Scene.

Why this name?
All we do in life is to honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, so why not use one of his names to further the public's knowledge of him. He IS the author of real miracles.
Do you play live?
No. Right now, all we have is the ability to lay tracks down...one at a time! Who knows what the future may bring. Perhaps a tour with Demonhunter or Pillar.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's destroying the artists' ability to make money the old way, via the record label. But, at the same time, there are new ways to cash in. And for those whom simply want a voice to be heard in this big world, thier time has come, and no A&R rep, or Indie Label King can stop it or control it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We would be stupid not to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Band History:
Both of us, out of a devotion to God and a want in our hearts to serve the Lord and repay him for all the years wasted playing in the world, began a quest to grow our friendship and use up spare time.
As fellow church members, and part time worship team members, we formed a bond. We started writing songs for God, and re-writing common hymns and popular Christian songs with a "Heavy Metal" feel.
As it was a only a hobbie for both of us, we took our time. No writing was done except on recording day, so most all of the music has never been rehearsed or practiced. Russ would commonly just record some drum tracks (frequently without Gerry there), and then just add the rest one at a time. We would then alternate instruments and Vocals.

Anything else...?
Find your truth. It's the same for all mankind. We are not all alone, in fact, we are all connected and related genetically. There is ONE God, and there is thousands of years of history; much of it archeological fact. Dig, search, seek and you will find. Do nothing and fade away useless and ignorant, never leaving your mark on eternity.
