Taking a look at some of the influences of DARKEST GRACE, there is an inclination towards the appreciation for the craft of songwriting…the so-called singer/songwriter influences of THE BEATLES, FOO FIGHTERS and GOO GOO DOLLS. Be that as it may, these guys are quick to remind you that they are first and foremost a heavy metal band replete with all the characteristically "metal" influences one would expect. The band draws inspiration from PANTERA, KORN, TOOL, NINE INCH NAILS, METALLICA, CANNIBAL CORPSE and SLAYER, and as vocalist Nick Woodward states, "the list could go on and on, it is rather diverse in the rock spectrum, and we all contribute to the writing process."
DARKEST GRACE is:
Nick Woodward (vocals, guitar)
Chris Johnson (drums, backing vocals)
Tim "Fish" Sarrels (bass, backing vocals)
Tim "Timm-eye" Reel (rhythm guitar)
