Eightball

eightball

Hamilton based Eightball were formed in 2005 by Paul, Andy and Ritchie. The band had many drummers but none really suited the bands unique style of music. In 2007, when Andy began a music course at college, he met drummer Tony McCauley. After introducing Tony to the rest of the band and after a jamming session, it was obvious Tony was ideal for the role as drummer. Eightball was finally complete.

With a now complete line up, Eightball began writing together as a band as well as practising the material that was already written. Working together the band produced a collection of diverse material: songs such as ‘Phone the Booth’ and ‘Devil in Disguise’ really showcase their funk style, whereas songs like ‘Change’, ‘Psychedelia’ and ‘Foothills’ display a more rock vibe. Not out of touch with their sensitive side Eightball also created beautiful ballads like ‘Blissfully Unaware’. With a set of great songs the band was ready to display their talents through live performances. Continue reading

WEIHAN

weihan Founded in 1999 as an industrial/electronic project to counter the stagnating and degenerating black metal scene, Weihan has become synonymous with musical progression and lyrical and conceptual integrity.
Even though the lyrics of Weihan have been devoted to Indo-Germanic culture, religion and history throughout the band’s existence, the music has ventured in many different places. While the strictly limited 2000 demo “Wonnemond MM” stayed true to the original sinister industrial vibe, the 2004 “Galder” album shows Weihan performing rough and crude sounding neo-folk.

The latest Strydwolf CD “Dunkle Wälder” (2011) is focussing mainly on romantic neofolk, and was released by SkullLine. Continue reading
