With an unprecedented 20 plus years of creating, performing, and writing music together, Kris Norris and Ryan Parrish (ex-DARKEST HOUR) are back after an 4 year hiatus forming a melodic death metal band entitled BLISSKILL. They have added bassist Paul Burnette to their ranks and have issued the following update:

"The decision to add Paul came really easy for us. We wanted someone who we knew could not only play the stuff, but add a new dimension to it in terms of writing and arranging. After discussing a few possible candidates for the spot, we just knew Paul was it. He can write, he can play, he lives close to one of us so jamming in person is possible and a huge plus. Also, we have that past history and chemistry writing, touring, fighting, and laughing together. We're not the same people when the three of us were in a band before. We've had downs, ups, turmoil, joy; all the things that have changed us personally and musically. So it just really made sense to get together again and see what we could come up with together. We've missed that connection, and when you have the opportunity to take a situation and remedy it in the best way possible, why wouldn't you?

Blisskill is an awesome new chapter in our musical lives, and its something we wanted to write together, the three of us. Here's to moving forward, by learning from past mistakes."

While seething monstrous thrash riffs and somber, underlying layers of melody accentuate the bands overall sound, Blisskill encapsulates the essence of Norris' prolific writing style and Parrish's thunderous delivery on the drums. No strangers to the genre, Blisskill is unique in craft and energetic by nature, giving them the ability to make their presence known to the metal world and beyond.

An untitled full length album is in the works currently, and, with the help of their dear friend Pacey on second guitar, nearly seven tracks are completed and ready to record. Be sure to keep an eye out for that release very soon!
