Saint Serpent

Rock history (in theory and practice) with SAINT SERPENT Today’s lesson: Praise the Riff! In the 25 years between 1969 (Black Sabbath and MC5) and 1994 (DOWN, C.O.C. and Fu Manchu) the world learned to rock properly, before that there was only kindergarten and afterwards it was remix and repeat. So the guys from SAINT SERPENT think about the basic ingredients of all rock songs - groovy drums and riffing guitars - from which the band's own sound develops: Stoner metal with punk rock attitude and musical influences from Southern Rock to Sludge. For all high school dropouts to write down again: Simple and efficient arrangements cast from a harder mold, presented in energetic rock shows. —— Story: SAINT SERPENT was created by Jan, Patte and Michael. The three guys grew up together with Metal in the late 80's and founded their first band "Breeding Fear", which has played 100-ish gigs, some demos and an official release. After a few years, they gave in and dedicated themselves to other projects: Patte and Michael founded "Sick Inside", Jan played for "Death of a Demon" and concentrated on his illustration work, until finally in 2013 a spontaneous rehearsal together led to the foundation of the Doom/Stoner/Metal project SAINT SERPENT. In 2016 Tom (Immortal Scorn) was found for the job on the microphone. Finally on the road as a full-grown band, songs were recorded and the first gigs were successfully staged. In the second half of 2018 five songs were recorded on their own and released in the same year - in the spirit of the 70s to early 90s - on cassette-tape. With his Les Paul in his luggage, the former "Heartbreak Engines" / "Death of a Demon" guitarist Patrick joins the band on lead-guitar at the end of the year and enriches the line-up with solos, punkrock edge and silly puns. In 2019 SAINT SERPENT records 3 songs in Andy Classen's STAGE 1 Studio with the final line-up, two of which are released as 7"-Vinyl-Single "TRAILER PARK WITCH". --------- Line-Up: Vocals: Tom Gitarre: Patrick Gitarre: Jan Bass: Patte Drums: Michael
