About STRAW

The project Straw came out from the mind of Tony (guitar) in May 2005, as a way to express his own emotions through music.The research for the suitable members starts then, and proceeds until September, when, being impressed by the David’s vocal talent, Tony invites him (current vocals) to join the uprising  project.

Both turned out as  tied by  the common passion  for the same kinds of music. Therefore, under the rush for starting their own musical activity, the 2 guys bumped in Vin, who owned the abilities to fit the future drummer’s role.
The band completes its own line-up, by adding a  bassist that will almost immediately  give up  his position to Ugo. Once the balance is reached , although precarious, the band  managed composing a few  tracks in time for  the studio recording in May 2006, that is  their own  first self-produced work comprising of 4 tracks: Burned!

The work was positively welcomed either by Critics and Public, harvesting good reviews from webzines in Italy and abroad.
But the genuine alternative  metal, played by the Italian band, mainly impressed  the “Stars-and-Stripes”public, always ready  and prepared to welcome some excellent and honest rock.

Since then, indeed, a true fan base began to take shape, growing day by day. Straw gained an excellent airplay on the American  independent radio stations, which  started  to send  more often  the tracks  played by the band on air, since the  multiple requests received from fans. Soon after the Demo was published, the band also began its live activity, bringing its own music on stage.

Right during this time, though, differences  between Ugo and the band began increasing, therefore the  guys were consequently brought to part ways with him. The Sido’s coming on the bass’s position revealed the achievement of a perfect balance, either artistically and on the human level.

The first 5 months of  2007 peacefully flow. The guys increase the rehearsal activity and decide to add a fifth member to the line up. The research for a second  guitarist, provided with good artistic skills  and musical tastes similar to the rest of the combo, finally  finds  the right solution, in  June, in the joining of Anth. During the month of September the band locked oneself in the studio to record the 5 tracks that will be form the first self-produced  EP “RISE AND SHINE”

During the whole listening of the work, all the elements that compose the sound of the Italian band can be discovered. From the penetrating and powerful vocals by David, to the  hard and  melodic riffs by Tony, through the compact rhythm section  formed by the throbbing bass of Sido and by the 
frantic drumming of Vin.
Due  to personal issues, Anth leaves the line up contemporary to the EP launch. Thus, the band  is  finally a quartet again

These are Straw  in 2008, a band that is for sure more mature in comparison to what experimented with the  previous work and which hopes, through this new work, to arouse the interest of  labels, so that  one could get to a contract to record  one’s  full – length, which is already object of composition.

DOOMRAISER	Nov 18 2009 11:56 PM Doom will never die, DOOMRAISER too! As one door closes, another opens. Valerio has decided to leave the band; he wants to concentrate more on his other projects. We all wish Valerio the best of luck with his new vocation. He was, and remains, a formidable guitarist and was an integral part of DOOMRAISER. However, it is with great pleasure that DOOMRAISER announce that Valerio’s replacement is to be none other than our good friend and brother, the fearsomely talented musician Willer. He played bass with evil blacksters Grimness and he’s involved in Black Land, an awesome and obscure heavy psychedelic band from Rome. Practices have been going very well, and Willer is already adding a new, acid and exciting dimension to the band as a whole. His first gig will be at Sinister Noise Club in Rome on the 21th November: a special and drunken night celebrating the birthday of one of the most important Italian underground rock scene club! Stay tuned… and slower, harder, drunker!
