SUPERVILLAIN

Bio:

.. ..
.. .. + URBAN ROOTS +
Born and bred in New York City, SUPERVILLAIN draw from a rich musical heritage, delivering a new brand of crushingly heavy rocknroll.

 + HYBRID SOUND +
From diverse backgrounds, members of SUPERVILLAIN have street-cred to burn, combining killer musical instincts, wide-ranging influences and a rare natural ability to collaborate. Tripping from brutal to melodic, precision to psychedelia, SUPERVILLAIN tread the best of all possible worlds without skipping a beat, resulting in a hybrid sound heavier than the sum of it’s parts.

 + EARNED REPUTATION +
Formed by Morgan Adams and Luigi Gasparro, performances as early as 1996 quickly earned SV a reputation as force to be reckoned with, evolving through several guitar/bass line-ups until 2003 saw the release of a SELF-TITLED 6-SONG EP to unanimously positive reviews. 2005 brought the release of ’EARTHQUAKE MACHINE’, a 10-song LP which has received equally positive acclaim across the board.

 + DYNAMIC NEW LEVEL +
Line-up changes in 2004/05 which introduced guitarists Blue Wilding and Rocket to the group, along with the recent addition of Fernando Rosario on bass, have taken the established SV-sound to a new level of intensity, dynamic and focus. SV has spent the past 10 months writing and refining material for a 2nd full-length, tentatively titled, ’Dreaming Gods’ and are currently in the studio for a Spring 2007 release.

 + STAGE READY +

Press Clips: "Crotch-splitting riff-rock with searing solos and nasty New York attitude."
REVOLVER MAGAZINE

"...a straightforward riff and groove-oriented rock outfit that flows damn smoothly...gritty dirt under the fingernails rock with plenty of soul..."
-Dave Brenner - 08.04
METAL MANIACS MAGAZINE

"SUPERVILLAIN's simple but pungent formula is well-crafted and growing stronger. Bottom-heavy American rock...with a solid metal backbone and roots in the NYHC scene...the band is here to stay...and I say let 'er rip! Fans of BLS and the fuckin''Nuge listen up: SUPERVILLAIN have something they want to show you."
-Dave Brenner - 09.05
METAL MANIACS MAGAZINE

"...a rockin' good time with elements of rock, metal and darker-edged grunge packed nice 'n' tight. Pure energy! Crank EARTHQUAKE MACHINE and grab some beers!"
-A. Bromley
UNRESTRAINED MAGAZINE

".. I dont care what genre you have locked yourself into or what click you have established yourself with. This is a must F****** have!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Killer production, powerful sound, amazing grooves, absolutely nothing wrong with the sound, in fact, everything right!..man you guys are cool."
- Martin Popoff - Author:
The Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal and
The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs Of All Time

"SUPERVILLAIN come on with old school fury, shred solos in tact, over the edge drum chops and undeniable rawk vocals. Think bar room rocking on Friday night, and you're on the right track."
-JJ Koczan
AQUARIAN MAGAZINE

"...a refreshing change from all the death/black demos that assault my ears...SUPERVILLAIN delivers one CD that will remain in my changer. Influences from Soundgarden, AC/DC and even Jackyl..just enough of a familiar sound with a vibrant new energy. Definitley get a hold of this CD."
-Richard Conner
EXPLICITLY INTENSE MAGAZINE

"SUPERVILLAIN, by far a great rock/metal band, based out of one of the greatest cities in the world, is one of the tightest bands that I have ever heard... If you are in the mood for a killer rock band, then be sure to check them out..."
-Peter Kakouriotis
AQUARIAN MAGAZINE

"These guys serve up some straight-up metal...this self-titled EP abounds with fuzzy guitars & distortion, heavy bass grooves, and first-rate drumwork... infused with a modern sense of aggression...the prize here is singer Morgan Adams...his gritty tenor adds that something extra that makes you sit up and take notice. With only five songs on the album, I still found it difficult to choose a favorite. These guys have come up with an album that, while contrary to what the major labels have been feeding us as "metal", is bound to catch on and turn some heads."
HARVESTMOONMUSIC 04.10.04

"Less than a year later, the band has released their full-length album & hit the mark yet again. SV is firmly entrenched in the dirty, sludgy rock...distorted riffs abound, serving as a foundation for some fantastic solos & leads. Strengthening that foundation is the superb skill of drummer Lou Gasparro... ('Drowning's) spacey opening riff & plodding rhythm screams old-school doom...twin guitar theme riffs enhance the atmopshere & reinforce the feeling of a smoke-filled '70s jam. SUPERVILLAIN is a band that knows just who they are & what they are about...In a scene where so many bands are trying to be the next (insert major band name here), SUPERVILLAIN is trying to put out the best rock music that they can, and remain true to themselves. They've succeeded in both endeavors."
HARVESTMOONMUSIC 03.12.05

"I eagerly rip off the packaging and toss it in the CD player and am suitably blown away!...Believe me when I tell you SUPERVILLAIN is for real!...Get in on the ground floor, cause this band is going up!"
-Matt "Waspman" Marino
METALRULES.COM

"Tracks... sound like Savatage and Overkill and Tad all smashing each others thigh bones into splinters with giant sledge hammers in the back of COCs tour bus...Did I mention how crazy loud Earthquake Machine is? Well, lets ask the cop thats at my door. 'Hi, copper. Nice weather this evening!', 'Hey, turn that fu*king thing down, the neighbors think youre killing people over here.' Ha! Little does he know. Anyway, SUPERVILLAIN. Crank city, Jack. Crank city."
SLEAZEGRINDER

"There is swagger in the step and a chip on the shoulder in the way these guys bust out blues-inflected boogie...I mean, this stuff smokes, snorts, flails, and wails! Were talkin the real deal here...I had a great time blasting this one through the headphones of my portable CD player and nodded so many times in approval that I got a kink in my neck. Grab this bad boy... and rock the fu*k out!"
-Scott Alisoglu
LIVE4METAL.COM

"...what we have is a band heavy enough for the true Hard-Rock & Metal fans, but also not so harsh that they couldn't be played on every FM station from coast to coast. This self-titled EP is sadly only five songs long. I say sadly, because as soon as you really start getting' into the groove, the damn thing's over! ...in my opinion, this beats the hell out of that shitty Audioslave disc. This is solid stuff...Supervillain should be a household name within the next year or two."
