Dormitory Effect are 4 women who have banded together to form a metal band unlike anything else...a hard-hitting sound that is NOT indie rock, NOT Riot Grrrl, NOT pseudo-punk, just pure Metal.Band/artist history
Four New York women, Susan, Meredith, G and Urith paid their dues in such bands as Perseverance, One Step Beyond and Sympathetic Magic. Influential and instrumental in showing that metal was not just for the boys, these ladies have wowed show and radio audiences with their sheer talent and knack for writing strong, aggressive yet memorable material. After years of mutual admiration and guest appearances, they have finally decided to take on the world as a united force - Dormitory Effect.
Formed New Year’s Day, 2004, Dormitory Effect has a lot to live up to as all of the members’ former bands were well established acts. Guitarist Hermann’s Perseverance was a signed act produced by Biohazard’s Billy Grazeidei touring with several regional and national acts. One Step Beyond, former home of uber-vocalist Wendelken and bassist Myree, was one of the most acclaimed local acts ever. They were selected to open for Black Sabbath and other national as well as regional acts and received extensive radio airplay. Their self-released debut CD was produced by Grammy-nominated artist Joaquin Lievano. Powerhouse drummer "G" was a core member of Sympathetic Magic (formerly known as Neutron Cafe). An all-female unit, they garnered its solid fanbase with its relentless gigging schedule and impressive demos which made them the toast of the underground.
The music of this exciting new juggernaut? Melodic, yet heavy, propelled by a voice that is considered one of the best. A sound that celebrates the old while embracing the new. Powerful grooves articulated with a level of musicianship that well exceeds expectations. A live show that never disappoints. All done without excessive hype or gimmicks.
Dormitory Effect is ready to unleash its brand of metal upon the unsuspecting masses...with no regrets, no holding back, and no equals.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes, we have begun to play out on Long Island, and soon NYC and beyond, hopefully. We've all had experience playing out-of-state and in conferences like SXSW, so we'd love the chance to do the same with this group.
Your musical influences
There's lots...Pantera, Sabbath, pre-Load Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer are probably the bands we all have in common.Anything else?
Male groupies are a beautiful thing. Don't be shy! Sign up today!Just heard Bide my time.
Have to say, it is nice to see a female metal act that doesn't feel the need to fluff it up, you are musicians first. Vocally, the subject matter works great, and actually has some similarities to the Doro Pesch style, who I think is not only the best female vocalist ever, but flat out one of the best metal voices period. The guitar is GREAT....keeps that constant chunk going, very smooth. Drums and bass play exactly what is needed to keep the strong backbeat steady. If you stay true to this, you should have a good shot at getting signed!
Impressive, I have to say. Good luck to you. If you get a chance, please take a moment and check out my stuff....I have just started a new solo career after several years of touring and playing with Blacklyst, and I am looking for opinions. Hope to hear from you. Again, well played!!
Woo hoo! Our own message board. Should be interesting...or maybe not! :)All comments (3)
