Illicit Rite Nominated for Best Heavy Metal Band
9 Nov 2004
The band has been nominated for Best Heavy Metal band and Best
single, Angels Hell" From CIA Music. Please take the time, to login
and register(it's free) to CIA Music, to vote, for Illicit Rite
(best Heavy Metal Band), and Angels Hell(best single). Four very
distinct musical artists continue to spread the infection: a livid,
unpredictable vocalist, a bass guitar magician, an aging rock
wizard, and a 16-year-old guitar phenomenon encompass the Rite.
Inspired by visionary consumption of epic battles, horror and war
history, their musical style is a scathing mix of Death Metal,
Black Metal and Hardcore, commonly dubbed "Bastard Metal". Formed
in 2001, the four horsemen from the mountains of Northwest Georgia
turned up the amps and plugged in to what started as simple jam
sessions and turned into something so much more Rite, originally
known as "15 on the Down", in its infancy started playing original
power ballads and cover songs to pay for new equipment and keep the
group afloat. Throughout the metamorphosis to the smoking metal
power they have become today the lineup has featured Justin Lewis
on lead vocals, Burkett"s son Paul on bass and the third of the
Burkett clan, teenage wonder, Zach, who joined the band at the age
of 13, on lead guitar. Jim Burkett, 46, an aging warrior on the
drums who took up the sticks at the tender age of 10. Now 16, Zach,
has been labeled by many as the second coming of Randy Rhodes.
Inspired by legends like Jimmy Page, Steve Vie, Yngwie Malmsteen,
and Stevie Ray Vaughn his amazing talents recently garnered a
sponsorship with Dean Guitars. With Paul and Justin penning dark,
grippingly enchanting lyrics and Zach and father, Jim, pushing a
tight-knit metal avalanche, the group is primed for explosive
success. "These guys have determination and the guts to make this
happen," Jim said. "The most important thing is the music and
continuing to push to new levels. Hopefully major success is a rung
on our musical ladder." The road scars and resulting hard earned
jewels in the Rite crown have come through over 100 performances
throughout the Southeast, including two at the Riverbend Festival
in Chattanooga in 2003 and 2004, a high-energy gig at the legendary
roadhouse Flora-Bama last year and an equally raucous Spring Break
show in Panama City, Fla. in 2004. |
