John Speaks:
Starting as a solo project in 2004 or thereabouts, NekroDrako started out in my spare room. It consisted of an old Zoom Rythmtrack drum machine, and a novation supernova keyboard, and a Zoom Tri-metal distortion pedal.

It started off as an experiemnt to see if I could still write black metal-esque without guitars, especially as my last Death Metal band, The Clearing had spit up.

The results were interesting enough to continue with, and so NekroDrako became an ongoing project, rather than just a dork in his spare room.

Of course.. it was still just a dork in his spare room for much time to come, until several equipment upgrades later, and the addition of guitarwork to a couple of tracks.

Nick, the frontman from my other band 3ulogy and the mastermind behind his own project Prototype, joined me for my first ever live show in July of 2005, which proved to be a hell of a lot of fun! After so long out of my death metal band, it was good to be a front-man again, peddling the noise.

It kicked off from there. I added more guitarwork over time to tracks as the equipment list upgraded itself more and more, and by the end of 2006 I decided to get some actual guitarists on board!

Enter, at the end of 2006, Senor James kitchen. James Officially joined the NekroDrako line up and has helped the project progress further into what it is today.

The Guitars are back.. but at some point I decided the black metal attitude should way for a more balls-out heavy metal approach.

Later still.., in early 2007, talks were had with Dave Firth about coming on board and making NekroDrako a four-piece. No action was taken on this until around August, when Dave officially stepped on board, making NekroDrako a four-man live setup.

....and here we are at the present.

The OFFICIAL line up stands as following:

John T - Vocals, and synths, drum programming, studio guitars (the easy bits)
James K - Live and studio guitars (the hard bits)
Dave F - Live guitars
Nick S - Live Synths

Me and James are just polishing off the last bits on our latest CD, entitled "Vitriol". Its a rather loud slab of industrial metal, with a hint of death.. black.. and a smattering of sludge.

It'll piss just about everyone off.. i'd wager, because when you're in this demographic sunshine, you're swimming uphill through treacle against a tide of folks telling us what bands SHOULD sound like. Metal, and industrial music is a bit annoying that way. But i'm sure there are SOME folks out there who'll get it ;)

John out.
