Ripthoven is the creation from Jamie Northrop . This project is Jamie trying to take forms of celtic, classical, new age music and mix it with a heavy back beat and crunchy undertone to create somthing truly European in Nature and symphonic to boot.
Band/artist history
Ripthoven is really a one man band with guest musicians chiming in once in a while . I, Jamie Northrop am a Drummer/keyboardist that just got tired of having ideas and never getting any respect from other bands or band mates because I was in their eyes , "Just the drummer" so I started my own lil project to suit my needs as a musician
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I play live with various top 40 bands and projects ... seems to hard these days to get people to see your vision let alone get them to rehearse it all down and play live.
Your musical influences
Trevor Rabin, Steve Morse,Micheal Schenker, Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy , Cozy Powell, Rainbow , Symphony X, Nightwish, Lacuna Coil,Marillion ,Enchant ..Yes Bach,,, and the list goes on.
What equipment do you use?
I use my Pc.. and track with sonar 4 , cubase Sx . I use Ik multimedia synths and lots of Vst plugins to get where i'm going
Anything else?
Dont try and be the next big thing when it has already happened ..because it already has happened . Stick to your guns and do what you enjoy ..if people buy into and you go far the its a blessing .. but nobody will ever buy into somthing your not .. Be yourself

Great singing. Bet Ronnie would have liked this one....
Quest for Jerusalem is very good. Great singer and keys. Also, do more of Bach's works! lol I love Bach. ^_^
"Their Finest Hour" Love the run around 2:40, but, the whole section starting at 2:04 is a great build to the trade offs. KiILLER STUFF RIP!
