Short Description
Discarnate Motions is a metal band emerging from Southern California, mixing intricate rhythms and extreme yet melodic elements.



Bio
Founded by guitarist Jelena in 2011, DISCARNATE MOTIONS originally began as a one-woman project, writing and recording songs on her home computer. Shortly after, the music gained interest from local musicians and became a 3 piece side-project under the name Sign of Sirin, after the 'bird of sorrow' from Slavic mythology. When it began drawing more attention and became a serious project, Jelena decided to find band mates who were available and interested in contributing creatively to the band as well as devoting time for practice.



Within a few months, Arron joined the band as a bassist - at first. It took about a year of trying to find the right vocalist before Arron decided to give it a try, when it became clear that he was the perfect frontman. In 2012 Arron put down the bass and began writing lyrics and vocal lines and melodies, forming what he and Jelena decided would become a concept album. They then joined with drummer Alberto and 6-string bassist Josh who would add their own touch and flavor into the music, completing the line-up and re-arranging and writing more material for a full album.



In summer of 2013 the band began playing shows, starting with small backyard/frontyard gigs and progressing to more famous venues like the Roxy and Whisky A Go Go on the Sunset Strip opening for touring metal bands from around the world, such as Amaranthe and VADER. By the end of the year, the band had released a 3-song demo, built up a little bit of a following and had begun stirring up reviews from metal fanzine websites, including Metal Assault, and decided to change the band name to DISCARNATE MOTIONS to better fit the haunting theme of the music, lyrics and overall melding of musicianship from each band member.



As they transitioned into the new year, 2014 brought many opening slots for metal shows in the LA area and had even more positive reviews from Metal Assault, Metal WarZone, and Spirit of Metal online fanzines and promoters. They continued playing with national and international touring acts such as Aenimus, Apparitions, Mouth of the Serpent, Carnifex and The Absence, and banded together with other local acts to help build a more solid and supportive metal brother/sisterhood like Sirion, Harlequin, Syrebris, and many others.



DISCARNATE MOTIONS will be recording their debut album later this year, stay tuned!
