The Eighth Side of the Octagon

OCTAGON is a Progressive Dark Metal band, who try to seperate themselves from the "norm" of what is known as Black/Dark Metal. OCTAGON consists of two members, Grym (aka Ryan McBride; Vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards, drums, programming) and Vortex (aka Lynn McClune; Guitar, vocals, programming, keyboards). We try to push the boundaries of experimentation in Metal. Our sound is not for everyone and may not please the average Metallica listener, but- If you are interested in checking us out please contact Ryan McBride through my EMail link at the bottom of the page. Our debut album, "The Eighth Side of the Octagon", is now available for sale ($7.00 cd and $4.00 cassette).

PANZERFAUST

Ryan's evil punk/black metal project of total destruction. It consists of Ryan (Drums/Vocals/Bass) and Darque(Aaron Rayborn) Guitar/Keyboards/Vocals. Future release, "Panzerfaust hates you!" pending.

ICON 5
