Painscale is a brutally heavy band from
the St. Louis area. Formerly known as Throedown, Painscale has
been in existence for over 5 years. The line-up has altered slightly
over the years and they are now more solid than
ever.
Painscale bases their music on
influences such as Machine Head, Soulfly, Snot, and many others in the
vast, growing local and national metal scene, but manages to put their
own original spin on each song. Painscale has played many local
venues in St Louis, such as Mississippi Nights, Pop's, Creepy Crawl, Side Door, and
Hi-Pointe. They have participated in events for 104.1 Extreme Radio
and Midwest Productions, blowing away those who have never seen them
before, and continuing to enthrall their growing fan-base.
Painscale is as follows:
- Chip Montgomery (Guitar) - With tight riffs
and an energetic stage presence, Chip delivers the punch while
keeping the flow of the music stable.
- Charles Rackley (Bass) - Covering the low-end
with a bone crushing statement, Charles provides the audience a
performance to compliment Chip's while his grooves lay the foundation
for Painscale's music.
- Geoff Sprock (Drums) - The true backbone behind
the style, Geoff has arguably the fastest feet in the St. Louis area.
His ability to combine complicated beats with speed is unmatched.
- Nick Book (Vocals) - Nick adds an additional
dimension to the lyrical assault of the band. His vocal styling,
strongly influenced by bands such as Hatebreed, helps to pull the
Painscale experience over the edge.
Painscale is what the local music
scene is about, and with the help of everyone involved, they intend to
put St. Louis on the Metal map, where it should be.
