Prec· i· pice: (pres'i· pis) n 1. A high, steep place; the brink of a cliff 2. A perilous situation 3. A unique metal band in Tampa, FL
Precipice was formed in Gainesville, Florida, many
moons ago, by two former members of the death/thrash metal outfit
Hellwitch, Dave Silverstein (drums) and Andy Adcock (guitar).
Although Dave and Andy co-wrote many of the Hellwitch songs,
they realized that the typical death metal format was both
restrictive and unchallenging. Hence, their goal was to
experiment with the genre by incorporating various styles and
approaches to their music such as jazz, fusion, punk, and art-rock. Precipice has now joined forces with the crazed, dynamic
vocalist, Aaron Schaen and the
thrashing bass technician, Chris Berry, to form the most intense
metal engine ever constructed.
Precipice realized their vision
through the release of their well-received five-song demo, “The
Foundation” and their three song demo entitled, "Black Sun Rising,"
a poundings slab of concrete-enforced metal, both of which have been
burned into one CD. Precipice recorded a full-length CD entitled,
"Prophet of Doom," which is released on Crook'd Records. Prophet of
Doom takes listeners on a journey of sonic mayhem mixing all that is
good in metal. Precipice has performed extensively in Florida
where they have bowled over jaded metal audiences with their unique
blend of power and abstraction. With over thirty epic originals,
Precipice will continue to test their musical experiments on a metal
scene longing for memorable and inventive
works.
