THE SONG
Stylistically this song is slightly different from the rest of the cd but it is an excellent example of the power and the force in this band. Heavy guitars with the swell of the vocals propel the message straight into your head.
THE CD
A cross between Alice in Chains and Deftones these guys hit it hard. Powerful lyrics with controlled dynamic shifts makes this some good and heavy music. This bands has a ton of potential.

Lamar Stilwell (Vocals/Guitar)
Lamar was born in Granada Hills, California on May 28th, 1971. Lamar got his first guitar and amplifier by giving his lunch money to a friend at school for a month. In 1987, Lamar formed Shattered Innocence with three other high school friends. In this band, Lamar got his first taste of the music business. With no avail, Shattered Innocence tried to break into the infamous "Hollywood Scene" by playing clubs such as Gazzarri's and The Troubadour. The band broke up and Lamar moved to Portland, Oregon to finish his Bachelor's degree in Automated Manufacturing. In 1994, Lamar formed the local, Portland band Fear of Face. With 2 years under their belts, Lamar felt the band wasn't making any progress. This fueled his decision to leave the band. In October 1996, Lamar became an official member of GRiNDSToNE.
