Thurkills Vision
From Lowell, Massachusetts, about 20 miles outside Boston, an area which gave us Aerosmith, The Cars, The Dresden Dolls, Godsmack and ... er .... New Kids on
The Block, comes a great new 5-piece band calling themselves THURKILLS VISION.
Formed in 2006, they consist of YAMIL on vocals, DAVID on drums, ROBERT (aka Bobcat) and ERIC on guitars and MATT on bass. They are fast becoming
one of the hottest topics on the New England live circuit, having already shared the stage with epic names like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine,
Sevendust, Seether and Three Days Grace, to name but a few.
Their self-released EP "For The Sleeping" came out in March 2011. It brought us the tracks, MY THEORY - PROJECT GRUDGE - SIMPLE DAY - PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE and MIRROR'S TRUTH. You can buy it on iTunes here.
This EP was followed, in September 2011, by the band's first single, "Be Gone", which is also available on iTunes here.
The Boston media hasn't overlooked their considerable talent, either. Jennifer Russo of the Boston Metal Music Examiner wrote of them: "With easy to sing-along to lyrics, any show-goer will be humming their tunes for weeks after they've seen them perform live."
Heavy Metal Time Machine wrote as a review of "For The Sleeping": "Mixing elements of metalcore, alt metal and rock, this EP comes across as the bastard offspring of Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold (only cooler!)"
All I know is that they are, incredibly, still unsigned to a major label, and it is OUR job to see that wrong righted!!
Additional info about the band can be found at their website here.
