News Release Schedule

Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Quarterly?

hmmm... its a hard decision to make. when to update this blog?

Daily?  Nah, i'll run out of shit to say. Weekly? Probably the best choice but i still might run out of things to say. Monthly? Takes too long between posts. Quarterly? This blog might get buried in other shit...

*sigh* so weekly it is.  i'll try my darn best to update you guys about what's happening to the band every f***ing week.

=========================================================================

Here's what's happening to the band nowadays.  We have 5 songs to prepare before we record our first EP.  3 songs are already ready for recording, 1 song we still have to re-arrange, and 1 song that up to now we have only finished doing the basic parts like the intro, verse, and chorus.  The last song still needs a lot of work. We haven't even jammed it as a complete band!

We haven't been able to practice for about 3 weeks now.  Damn schedules.  Lester's work schedule was changed from 9:00pm - 6:00am Mon-Fri to 3:00pm - 12:00mn Wed-Sun.  so maybe we could set practices during Mondays and Tuesdays right? NO. Philip has gigs with his other bands during those nights.  So Practices are re-scheduled to whoever knows when.

JC is also rebuilding his rig from the ground up.  Having sold all his gear to get new gear,  or what is called a GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) Attack.  up to now, he has no guitar, no gadgets and no amp.  so we still have to wait for JC to complete his new rig before we can record.

Even with all these shit, we are still optimistic about releasing the EP by Summer.

Iron Rabbit News: A look into the band members and the roots of the music.

Guitarists JC and Revo, Lester the Drummer, Ian the Bassist  and Philip on Vocals together form Philippine Metal's Furious Five. IRON RABBIT, 

Intense Back-beat, Grooving Bass, Heavy Riffs, Twin Solos and Stunning vocals sets Iron Rabbit apart from their growling and screaming contemporaries.  With very different influences, Iron Rabbit comes together to create heavy, aggressive, and melodic music that makes you stand up, listen, then mosh. 

Lester comes from a progressive background listening to the likes of Dream Theater, Secret Sphere, Shadow Gallery and a lot more artists but not necessarily from that genre.  Lester Provides the solid backbeat on which the bass and guitars take off. 

JC is a child of the blues. Starting out as an acoustic guitarist for a variety band, JC was influenced heavily by old school rock bands like The Eagles and the Scorpions, bands his father always listens to.  aside from doing riffwork, JC also melts faces with his intense solos.

Revo is a dark child of gothic metal.  Heavily influenced by Evanescence, Within Temptation, After Forever and Cradle of Filth,  Revo adds a twist to the band's sound by giving a dark and frightening undertone by adding licks to the main riffs.  aside from doing riffwork, Revo makes jaws drop with his fret burning solos. 

Ian is a child of various genres ranging from the music of the 70's to current heavy metal.  Even with a broad musical taste, Ian gravitated towards metal from an early age having had a chance to listen to a compilation of several underground Philippine Death Metal bands (Sa Kabilang Anyo ng Buhay).  Ian glues the melody of the guitars to the beat of the drum and provides head banging bass grooves.

Philip is a blues, and rock and roll rocker.  influenced by Razorback, Juan dela Cruz Band and the Beatles, Philip takes on the role of Chief Lyricist give WORD to the MUSIC.  His singing style completes Iron Rabbit.   

Everytime Iron Rabbit takes the stage, expect a very energetic, mind bowing, and eargasmic experience.
