| About |
Amazonne Folk Metal Band, are Perryn Butler, vocals, Gaynor Colbourn multi-keyboards, Felix Hughes on drums and percussion, and Harley David Watson on guitar and vocals. Perryn not only sings, and plays the guitar, she is also a really mean Bodhron play. Gaynor plays the keyboards, but not one, not two, not three, not even four, but six keyboards and a proteus and waveform. The recent aquistion of hers is the PHENOMANAL Korg M3 Keyboard, which is simply outstanding. She has 9 foot pedals which means she can bring sounds up and down, its too much to describe. She really has been described as a keyboard Wizard. Gaynor, though less well known than keyboard wizards like Rick Wakeman and Keith Emerson, is up there with them, a keyboard great. This band has subtelty, it has nuance, it has simplicity, but it is also really complex. At a London concert a while ago, the review in the music press on Amazonne stated that they were as unplugged as Pink Floyd !!!
in a six piece metal band, Kryophere, who play various venues in Wales and England, and are touring throughout August. Felix is a very visual performer, who brings a visual element to the band, as well as a musical input. Felix, as a Metal Drummer, has brought a new aggression to the band, but also the ability to use his technique to enhance and drive the music. The drum set up he has allows him to play drums and percussion at the same time, using a floor snare, in conjunction with a huge percussion set up.
Harley has been playing in a variety of bands, from pop to metal, and he is finding that working with Amazonne has been a challenge! Their music is very different to anything he had played before, and the technical ability he needs for some of the very intricate melodic passages, is stretching him. He loves it!
