I first had the idea of starting a band back in the beginning of January. I was watching bands like Fear Factory, Metallica, LB, Coal Chamber and the many others become famous and having the time of their lives, that is when I decided that I wanted to become what these bands are. A big reason behind starting this was always to become famous and make a lot of money...but the main reason was to be able let the world know how I feel with my lyrics. To show what this planet really is like, not some perfect little happy fairy tale that many think it is. A lot of people think that nothing bad can happen to them, my music is a slap in the face and a kick to the balls. I don't hold back how I feel in my music, never have never will and nothing or nobody is ever gonna change that. Anyway, I talked to a friend of mine and he said that he would be in it then we talked with another friend of ours and he said that he would do it, too. And so, Shok Faktor was born. The three of us are the beginning of a revolution in music. We're here to show all of those pansy boy bands and all of those other weak-minded fools who the hell is boss! Well, at first the music was going to be straight death metal, but as time went on my lyrics changed, evolved if you will. They've gotten much better and a hell of a lot more deep than before. We recruited three other guys, another guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. So, it was the day of our very first meeting together and we all piled into Paul's van, except for Steve, he couldn't make it that day. So, we got together at the new guitarist's house and talked about some shit then the drummer had to get home. We all got into the van and headed towards his house. About two minutes down the road the most unexpected thing happened. According to the guy that looked at the van, a tire had blown out causing us to ram a telephone pole going about forty-five miles per hour. Of course, the pole hit directly on my side of the van, right in front of me. I must have passed out about eight times in that van while I was waiting for someone to get me out. My door was jammed so I was stuck in there. By the time I regained consciousness for the second time everyone had gotten out, but me. I sat there with blood gushing from above my eye and from a gash in my head. I still remember feeling the warm blood dripping down my face and having to spit it out as it dripped into my open mouth. The paramedics finally came and got me out and we took a nice PAINFUL ride to the Christiana hospital. I got there and had to wait in the fucking hallway for a few minutes because they supposedly never got the call that I was coming. I don't remember much of anything during my five days in the hospital, nothing but pain and sickness. That damn wreck really screwed me up, everyone else is ok now but me...typical. The guitarist, bassist, and drummer all left after the wreck. Wait till you here why....because they didn't like the kind of music we were doing!!!!!!!!!! What kind of utter bullshit is that! If they had told us that in the first place then we never would have been in that freakin' accident! Damn, people can really be freaking idiotic, don't ya think? I don't have any hard feelings about it, though. At least during this time I have been writing a lot of lyrics and getting shit together. I will have most of the first CD written out in lyrics by the time we're ready to go. Cool, huh?
Most of my lyrics are based on my life, all the total bullshit and hell that I have been living. The rest is just shit that I felt needed to be written about. Like I said before, I am going to write about shit that people don't want to hear. I mean that it is going to be cool shit to listen to, but the subject matter is going to show people the darkness that envelopes most of this world. A darkness that many people don't think is there, or just don't think about it much, if at all. As long as I'm living I won't stop having things to write about.
As of now, the band ain't moving at all. And it's going to be a while before we can get everything moving. But I do promise that we will get moving, and when we do it is going to be worth the wait.
There is one record company that I hope signs us, Roadrunner Records. I've heard some good shit about them, so I hope they like us enough to sign us one day. That would be amazing!
