STRAIGHT LINE STITCH/Ex-DARKEST HOUR Guitarist Joins Forces With Ex-ANNIHILATOR Bassist
December 19, 2011Guitarist Kris Norris (STRAIGHT LINE STITCH, ex-DARKEST HOUR) has joined forces with ex-ANNIHILATOR touring bassist Dave Sheldon and ex-DARKEST HOUR drummer Ryan Parrish in a new project called A CANCEROUS AFFAIR.
Several early demo recordings from A CANCEROUS AFFAIR, which features Sheldon on lead vocals, can be streamed below.
Commented Norris: "I love all styles of music — from pop and jazz to black metal — and with this being a project band with no intentions other than to write music we enjoy, I'm not pigeonholed into oh this song needs a fast riff or a crazy solo. It's a nice relief from the other projects and bands I'm involved in and have been involved in. I get to take my experiences from all of them and combine it into one."
He added, "So far what we put up is just the writing of the demos with some demo vocals added. The songs have already been crafted into much better versions but I thought it'd be cool to at least release this stuff, hopefully get some feedback of what people are digging and hating."
Regarding the project's name, Norris said, "The title comes from Dave. I liked it alot because it fits what we are doing. Just a bunch of musicians from different parts of the world, getting together behind their other various music projects backs almost, and creating something. His voice to me is just infectious, so when he said the name, I was, like, 'Hmmm, that's it.'"
