Serpentine (UK)
Serpentine formed in the North east coast of Scotland in 2002 and we decided, in a magical flash of innovation, to become one of our country's few doomy metal bands.
Hopefully our style of music will appeal to you!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Originally intended as a sort of side-project for the members of Kick The Raven (Arron Mcintyre and Simon Brown), Serpentine has evolved into something more than a mere side-project. The first demo, "Autumnal Elegy", is just a rough indication of what they're hoping to achieve.
After a 3 year hiatus, Serpentine have begun writing again, hoping to release either another demo or a full length album before the end of 2006.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We have yet to play live, because sadly we are not in possession of a real flesh 'n' bone drummer, but we're sure it'll be great when we finally do.
Your musical influences
We are usually influenced by mostly every band we like to listen to. Serpentine sounds like a very odd mix between Opeth, My Dying Bride, early Paradise Lost and some Anathema.
What equipment do you use?
Arron uses a Washburn WR150 with Rotosound Strings, and a Digitech RP50 effects pedal.
Anything else?
Thanks to anyone who has ever put up with us, and to those who give us their support!
