OSKOREI Since the bands beginning in 2004 there were very few acts in the Bay Area with the same musical ideas as Oskorei. Not only were their thrash roots always well defined, but they were influenced by a lot of Black/Death/Power Metal bands, and were more versed in the European (and old-school American) extreme metal sound than the newer American ‘hardcore’ or ‘metal-core’ style that so many bands were catching on to. What Oskorei developed was a unique style of blending genres, taking melodic death metal riffs, black/death metal vocals, power metal solos, and epic melodies to create a unique vision of what melodic metal can be.
In the Spring of '08 they recorded a new demo with Vincent Wojno (Testament, DDP, Kreator, and countless other bands) with help from Craig McFarland. The new recordings finally capture the fire and energy of the songs, as the music for the first time has production that fits it.
In the late Summer of '08 Corey Lee left the band and was replaced by Steve 'Zetro' Souza's son, Nick. His style was solid and fit perfectly.
The band's influences include the Bay Area Thrash (Exodus, Testament, Slayer, Megadeth), Black Metal (Satyricon, Ulver, Drudkh, Immortal, Gorgoroth, Bathory, Sargeist, Xasthur), Death Metal (Deicide, Morbid Angel, Origin, Behemoth, Suffocation), Melodic Death Metal (In Flames, At The Gates, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy), as well as bands like Dio, Summoning, Dragonforce, Blind Guardian, and of course, Iron Maiden. They've now played with bands such as Vital Remains, Dragonlord, Testament, and Deicide, had several articles on Blabbermouth, and been interviewed in Polish metal magazine Pure Metal as well as being featured in several local magazines and fanzines. They are currently unsigned and playing shows in the Bay Area.
