December 19, 2011, 12 years ago
Guitarist Kris Norris (STRAIGHT LINE STITCH, former DARKEST HOUR) has "officially" formed a project band with ex-ANNIHILATOR touring bassist Dave Sheldon on vocals. "I am so friggin happy to announce that the drums will be handled by my favorite drummer ever Ryan Parrish formerly of Darkest Hour, with whom I had many many great musical aha! moments in my life! Gonna be amazing to get to write some killer stuff with him again after all these years," exclaims Kris. The bass duties are almost set and soon to be announced.
Norris says of the music, "I'm pretty happy with the way the music is coming along. I write here and send the stuff to Dave in Canada. Its nice to be able to write anything. I love all styles of music from pop and jazz to black metal, and with this being a project band with no intentions other than to write music we enjoy, I'm not pigeonholed into oh this song needs a fast riff or a crazy solo. It's a nice relief from the other projects and bands I'm involved in and have been involved in. I get to take my experiences from all of them and combine it into one."
For now you can get a glimpse of the demo stages of the songs below:
WHERE DID WE GO WRONG - (demo, mix coming soon) by krisnorrisoverflow
Retrograde (old Demos) - Believer Too Late by krisnorrisoverflow
Retrograde (old Demos) - Carry The Clouds by krisnorrisoverflow
Five Flat Six by krisnorrisoverflow
"So far what we put up is just the writing of the demos with some demo vocals added. The songs have already been crafted into much better versions but I thought it'd be cool to at least release this stuff, hopefully get some feedback of what people are diggin and hating.""The Project will go by the name of A CANCEROUS AFFAIR."
"The title comes from Dave. I liked it alot because it fits what we are doing. Just a bunch of musicians from different parts of the world, getting together behind their other various music projects backs almost, and creating something. His voice to me is just infectious, so when he said the name I was like, hmmm thats it."
