Russian WINTER
Russian Winter: the one thing that saved the Russian army from the German onslaught. With powerful, heavy riffs and spine-chilling solos, Russian Winter is a heavy metal band everyone with a love for metal should hear.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We started out a few years ago as a project for school, and we liked that so much that we continued to jam.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We've played one gig at Section 8 in Hubbard... it was pretty cool and we got a nice crowd response, despite it not being a metal crowd.
Your musical influences
We love to use galloping rhythms and such like that of iron maiden or iced earth, but expect a lot of new little things that you will hear under the norm, such as gallops followed up by switching notes or a series a hammers and pulls. Also, expect a LOT of bone-crunching rhythms, as well as solos that dont really follow the rules of music theory.
What equipment do you use?
2 guitars, a bass, randall solidstate, behringer bass amp and guitar cabinet, cannon drums, and shure mics with behringer mixing consoles and radio shack PA system.
Anything else?
We just added Denny Monroe as a our lead vocalist (w00t!) He's pretty awesome. You can here him on Hallowed Be Thy Name, and pretty soon on Lightning and Straitjacket.
