ELCTRIKCHAIR
[elec . tric . chair]
PROGRESSIVE METAL
At its evolution into progessive metal EC led the New Generation Thrash movement. EC's masterfully written artistic infusion is a clever avant-garde blend of metal genres, neo-classical runs, samba and jazz from the 1930's.
LATEST RELEASE
EC's latest release, XENOPHOBIA, highlights the originality and universal sophistication of EC song structure.
XENOPHOBIA can be purchased at FYE, Relapse Records, Hot Topic, Hastings, Best Buy, Wal-mart, Independent Records, Angelos, Vintage Stock and music outlets worldwide. Add it to your collection, NOW! Unless of course you're a xenophobe, in which case, you won't like it.
TRADEMARK SOUND
Diplomacy and underground music’s new world order give ELCTRIKCHAIR its trademark sound resembling the pinnacle of musicianship, Munich’s Necrophagist and Sweden’s Opeth.
METAL SIGNATURE
Despite an endlessly broad search for similarities, metal reviewers find historical metal signatures in EC’s music and recognize diverse metal influences. Curiosity remains as to where this metal re-birth will lead. Fans of avant-garde, experimental jazz masters, Mr. Bungle, know all too well how misunderstood and unrecognized virtuosity remains.
ORIGINAL
Whatever it is, ELCTRIKCHAIR, is unrestrained metal, strangely exciting, unavoidably interesting, Mozart-Picasso original.
INSATIABLE ENERGY
EC fans of all ages feast on technical brilliance, incredibly well crafted and time perfect double pedal drum beats that motivate an insatiable stream of energy emanating from EC's underground birth cove.

NEW MASCOT 'METAL'S NOT DEAD' ...OR IS IT? EC's new character mascot 'DEAD' is the handy work of mid-western character illustrator, Karl Dahmer; no relation to the infamous deceased serial killer, Jeffrey. 'DEAD' marks the end of an era of record label dominance in music entertainment. Once heralded record labels, continue to disappear or evolve into modern ecommerce creations that don't remotely resemble record labels of the past. EC, an independent cutting-edge live entertainment performance machine, renders the need for record labels obsolete. 'DEAD' represents the death of metal's past and its modern re-birth. 'DEAD', we believe, is an intellectually superior being that has traveled billions of light years to planet earth, believed captured and retained at Area 51. 'Dead' was falsely accused of high crimes, his trial was held in the court of public opinion, unfortunately 'Dead' was wrongfully convicted and executed in the electric chair. But 'Dead' has returned; the message he brings is that; although metal can be declared dead, disrespected, ignored and discounted; metal is eternal. 'Dead' and other alien species like him have an eternal existence as ancestors of metal. Ladies and Gents of metal: Meet EC's alien metalhead, DEAD!
RONNIE JAMES DIO REMEMBERED
Elctrikchair, Dust2Dust Music Network USA would like to extend their sincere condolences to the family, friends and fans of Ronnie James DIO.
DIO's influence is forever engrained in our hearts and music.
We will never forget watching an embryonic Elctrikchair as they stood mesmorized in silence in the front row at DIO's performance at the then, Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village, Colorado.
That day DIO performed with Iron Maiden, he is the one metalhead on the planet whose voice took his musicianship to a level at par with Maiden, some in the chair thought DIO superior.
DIO will forever live on in metal and Elctrikchair song. DIO was to us, what the Rocky Mountains are to the world. DIO, you are always in our thoughts. |
