Riothead is Stephen Strunk. I mix elements of industrial, metal, and whatever works to come up with something I can call my own. I write and record everything by myself and am now back to starting new material and finishing old works after a 1-2 year hiatus. The last few years have kept me on my toes (and somewhat distracted from doing what I love). Regardless, I'm making my best efforts to pick up my gun and keep marching. I'm focusing on recording and finishing material (new and old) to the the best of my abilities. Riothead is not playing live at this time although that may change in the future depending on how current attempts pan out.
The songs I've posted were all started or finished 1-2 years ago... but newer and better material is finally on its way. A redesigned and updated website is also in process. However... doing all the music, working full-time, and making a new site by myself may take a second. In the meantime help yourself and feel free to help me along the way with any comments - they're all appreciated.
STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE: the automatic competition (as for food, space, or light) of members of a natural population that tends to eliminate less efficient individuals and thereby increase the chance of the more efficient to pass on inherited adaptive traits.
SUPPORT THE ARSENAL OF HYPOCRISY!
HEADS UP: MySpace will flash some crazy warning page when you enter your info above - DON'T FREAK OUT - they do it as a warning to protect everyone against "phishers". Just hit BACK on your browser and try it again (it should go through the second time.) If it still screws up, just use the sign-up box posted directly on RIOTHEAD.COM. Thanks!
With an assembly that includes members of Ministry (Warner Bros.) and Thrill Kill Kult (Rykodisc), it's obvious project .44 has a firm grasp on the aggro/industrial/tek metal scene...
