Altered Reality
Altered Reality... What can be said about this project for vocalist/keyboardist Derrick Broze and guitarist James McMenamin? It is unlike anything you have heard before...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
This project came about in the Spring of 2003 when Derrick's main band ONESOWNCHAOS, lost their guitarist, James McMenamin. Derrick wanted to spread his musical "ability", and spend time alone. He decided to have an all keyboard band. But fortunately his band found another guitarist and they progressed, so his solo debut was put on hold. Until Winter of 2004 when Derrick struck up a deal with former guitarist, James to help him with his solo album. The band has now evolved into a side project for both James, and Derrick, and will feature guitars by James, and drums/bass/FX (all done by keyboards), some vocals, and also some acoustic drums played by Derrick. The band is a mix of doom/industrial/noise or wherever else you wanna mix it into. Butif you like heavier music visit derrick's band:
