Crucible
Welcome to Crucible's Soundclick page. We are an up and coming band from Wichita Kansas. Now, before you disregard us on the basis of our being from Kansas, please check us out and hopefully you become a fan.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Crucible formed in October of 2003. Each member of the band has come from other bands prior to this one, and gained valuable experience to bring to Crucible. We're still a young band and a lot of history is yet to be written.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have had several locals gigs and they have all been pretty positive. Fans and club owners all seem to genuinely like us and want us back again. So far, our best gig has been at the Fox Theatre in Newton. It's an old, historical theatre in Newton Kansas. The gig had a great vibe, and there were a lot of people there, who all really got into our set. We hope to have a lot more gigs like that one.
Your musical influences
The genre of music that influences us the most is, naturally, Heavy Metal. Bands like Megadeth, Metallica (pre-Load), Testament, Iced Earth, C.O.C., Crowbar, Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil, and many others are constant sources of inspiration. Other genres of music like classical and film scores are a major influence to us as well.
What equipment do you use?
Crucible use Jackson guitars with D'Addario strings, Crate guitar amps, Mesa Boogie bass amps and Line 6 bass processors, Ludwig drums and Zildjian cymbals.
Anything else?
We hope each person who visits this page becomes a Crucible fan. In the words of the immortal Mick Foley, "Have a Nice Day!"
