With all five of Stryk Nine's members born and living in MA you could still probably say they are more based out of the Providence, RI scene. They played their first shows there over 8 years ago when the band first began in 2000. The two original members Matty Colon & Justin Murphy try and reinvent their sound for every album so along with that come many member changes, However over the past 2 years they have built one of the most solid lineups to date. Featuring Keyboardist: Jim Morel (Neo-Messiah, EKM) and drummer: Artie Carvalo (Nerve Damage). They also have tacked on good friend Jeremy Kaplan to play live Samples and Backing Vox. They are still in a search for a bassist, they have been through over 20 since the loss of their previous bass player last summer. Were looking for someone who can tour, has a job, has transportation, has pro gear and talent, with stage experience. Hit us up if your interested.
Stryk Nine goes way back to the year 2000 when they began as children at the time the biggest bands in metal were Korn and Limp Bizkit, then over the years have changed from bands like Killswitch Engage and Shadows Fall this was a huge reason Stryk Nine decided to stay as far away from the radio and MTV while writing their music. While it may not be everyones cup of tea it incorporates many things that everyone can appreciate. The instruments we use range from metal guitars and double bass to kazoos and bongos to keyboards and samplers. So it is hard for us to fit in to these so called "Scene's" so we decided to go our own way.
Stryk Nine has done 2 national cross country tours playing in the following states MA, NH, RI, NY, VA, GA, FL, IL, MI, NC, SC, CT, MD, KY, and many more. We have toured alongside up and coming signed acts like Diecast, Thy Will Be Done, Ekotren, Crossbreed, Joey Belladonna, Q, and endless others.
We have been hard at work on a brand new cd over a year in the making called "The Obstacle of Symmetry" due out 2008. This album is being Produced, Engineered and Mixed by Rob Gil who also worked on the following bands Albums: Throwdown, Hatebreed, Aerosmith, & more. The project is going to be mastered by Jay Frigolletto who has mastered acts like: Killswitch Engage, Alice in Chains, and many others.
