Biographies
Christian Brak-Lead Vocals, Lead Guitar
Christian Brak at an early age, with the urging of his family began singing, writing lyrics and learning the guitar.
Exposure to the world of music centered primarily on the Country & Western scene. With the exception of some programs such as American Bandstand, it wasn't until many years later that Christian was introduced to a wider variety of music styles and bands. These newfound areas of music combined with his own form of rebellion and dark nature brought Christian to where he is today in the rock and goth scenes. His musical influences were many. Ranging from Merle Haggard to David Bowie, Kiss to Pink Floyd. Listening to everything from classical to heavy metal, Christian played in many bands and performed in various shows including talent contests of all kinds.
After many years of writing songs and building his knowledge of music, Christian began working in recording studios and has since been pursuing his musical career religiously.
Christian spent many months building his own recording studio and striving to create his own record label.
The Goth Album “SHADOWS”, is the product of a year spent in writing new songs and selecting songs written in years past. The Album “SHADOWS” is the first in what is soon to be a trilogy of works in an attempt to share with the world his joys, sorrows and pains and perhaps to touch those who share similar feelings.
This is hopefully only the beginning...
Tattunigma-Keyboards, Back-up vocals
Unlike Christian, Tatt did not begin music at an early age, preferring instead to write. Even as young rebel, the magic of his pen spoke volumes, and to date, his accomplishments include his novel "In the Shadow of the Arch", his collection of vampire poetry entitled "Midnight Opus" and the hundreds of poems, including several award winning pieces, scattered across the globe. The passion that he displays in his poetry and fiction carry over into the music he plays.
Always has he been a bit rebellious, his tastes in music having leaned to the heavier side of Rock. Musical influences include Yngwie Malmsteen, ACDC, KISS, OZZY, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Disturbed, Pantera, Type O Negative, and many more such bands, as well as a lot of 80's Heavy Metal, and whatever the hell else played on the radio at the time. His spiritual side has always leaned to more pagan musical inspiration such as American Indian music and Celtic. He has been known to be quite fond of some Classical, some jazz, and even Punk.
Tatt first began with a minor role as a vocalist for a small L.A. band before learning to play bass guitar for a band called Golden Harbour, which he played in with Clayton when Clayton was first starting out. It was around that time that he met and became friends with Christian, and the two worked together in a tattoo shop where they not only slammed ink, but sat for hours playing music and writing songs. Playing keyboards, and back-up vocals now for V, Tatt enjoys the versatility of his new instrument, and finds his background in poetry helps to bring out his own unique style of madness, and only serves to add to what is already beautifully written vampire music.
As a person, Tattunigma is wild and carefree, fearless and aggressive, intelligent and somewhat intimidating. And every bit of that finds it's way into his music. Tatt is usually the first one you expect to fly off the handle and act like an ass, or tell someone just how it is.
Clayton Lemoine-Drums
Clayton has been playing music since the age of 13, playing a wild guitar and bass. He met with Tatt in the mid 90's, and together they formed the band Golden Harbour, where he played guitar. He went on to play with Wraith, and a few other bands before settling with "V". One night as he sat behind a friend's drum set, he realized that he was a natural drummer, and his interests became bent on pounding the skins. Clayton is now an accomplished drummer with a viscious beat. His influences in Music range from ACDC, OZZY, Skynrd and more to his long time favorite KISS.
As a person, Clayton is a shit talker with a great sense of humour, and a wild mischievous side.
Tom McCulloch-Rhythm guitar
There isn't much to say about Tom except that he is without doubt the high energy outlet in the band. Tom is laidback in person, but as soon as the music grabs him, he turns into a freakin' stage maniac. He prefers his music faster, LOUDER, and harder, and plays a wicked guitar.
