Influences
The human condition, artists who are true to themselves and take chances, the power of music and sound, the power of words, the power of the human soul
Vulgar Pang is a new gothic presence, a dark marriage of the past and present in a powerful sound that merges classic metal and rock with industrial flavors that echo such giants as Dio, Black Sabbath, Nine Inch Nails, System of a Down, and Tool.
Vulgar Pang was formed from the darkest reaches of the mind of Craig Hawkinson. Collaborating with producer/engineer/musician extraordinare Marc Golde of Rock Garden Studios in Appleton, WI, as well as top-notch area musicians Greg Thiel, Red Brown, Danny Jerabek, Steve Cooper, and Eric Harkoff, "Pleasure of Schizophrenia" was recorded and completed in October of 2005. The studio unit progressed into a live band experience with Hawkinson, Golde, Greg Thiel, and Ken Rodgers bringing to life a second CD, "The Memoirs of Don Juan Gacy", and a multimedia show which captures the emotion and essence of the music, as well as a raw power recalling the beasts of rock's glory days.
"...Vulgar Pang is heavy both lyrically and musically... adventurous... the music straddles the line between melody and abrasiveness."
- Steve Hyden, Appleton Post-Crescent
"Powerful stuff....The diversity is impressive."
- John Payne, Rick's Cafe
