Scavenger(IL)
Hi I'm Lucas Keenen, I play in the progressive/experimental death metal band called Scavenger. We're from Champaign, IL. I joined the band in the summer of '09 and began writing most of the music and here we are
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The band formed in early 2008, I joined in the summer of '09 and there were three guitarists. We've just been dealing with many line-up changes and finding the right people but we have a good mix this time I think. Hopefully you think so too!
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We play around Illinois and occasionally in the surrounding states but hopefully we'll be out there a lot more soon. We love it, it's what we live for. At one exceptionally large house show some kids got into a fight. lol.
Your musical influences
I, personally, amd inspried by Between the Buried and Me, Periphery, Cynic, Veil of Maya, Sleep Terror, Shawn Lane was an absolute monster and one of the best ever, Arsis, Necrophagist, Misha Mansoor especially, Martyr, Exivious, Animals as Leaders, Malcolm Pugh is a beast, I wish I was him haha.
What equipment do you use?
I play a Steinberger Spirit and an Epiphone Les Paul(w/Dimebucker) through a Line 6 Spider II live and a Marshall JCM 200 TSL but I'm fixing it currently. We're upgrading to Line 6 Pod's for recording and live too though!
Anything else?
I hope you like our music and all of the other songs I post that are unrelated. Support metal and keep true music alive!
