  • Bio

    ......THE SIXTH CHAMBER - Often accused of being one of the most original sounding heavy rock bands in Los Angeles, The Sixth Chamber continues to slash and burn down its musical path of mind-altering riffs and passionate, soul-wrenching songwriting narratives delivered via blasting vintage tube amplifiers, heavy rhythmic drive and soulful, belty vocals. .. .. The band has been described by the LA Weekly as a new "wild-eyed, from-the-mountaintop kind of rock evangelism" capable of sweeping unsuspecting listeners away on its "rising metallic tide." .. .. Vocalist Sevan Kand sings in a soulful, bluesy style inspired by vocalists from late 60s/early 70s rock and R&B. Some influences include Robert Plant, Jack Bruce and Al Green. Kand was born into a bohemian musical family, and his voice was used on recordings by gothic rock pioneers Christian Death as a small child. .. .. Guitarist Rahne Pistor is a descendant of the Iommi, Hendrix, Blackmore school of distorted blues and psychedelic rock guitar, and is known to add a mystical flare to his lead guitar. Pistor relocated to Los Angeles a few years ago from New Jersey, where in his teenage punk days he played bass for a year or so in a band with members of The Misfits and Samhain. .. .. .... .. .. *Support the vision, and check with us for info on ordering Sixth Chamber music and contraband........... .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ ..

The local quartet claim that they're influenced by Edgar Allan Poe, the Black Panthers' Bobby Seale, Timothy Leary, defense attorney William Kunstler, Henry Miller, abnormal psychology, shamanism and "consciousness alteration" just as much as they are by psychedelic rock and Black Sabbath. They say they're inspired by the movies of Roman Polanski — and yet the cover of their new self-titled EP (on Novokkane Recordings) features sensual artwork by imprisoned Charles Manson affiliate Bobby Beausoleil. Clearly, there's a lot going on with this ambitious group. Sevan Kand howls with a wild-eyed, from-the-mountaintop kind of rock evangelism, firmly supported by drummer Michael Ferrara and bassist Joshua Soto's mighty bedrock of Led Zep–style rhythms. Guitarist Rahne Pistor slathers "Secret Lovers Land" with a wash of exotic slide guitar and deft psychedelic licks, while Kand croons ominously until the song is swept out to sea on a rising metallic tide. It's all good stuff — even if it's not clear how they really feel about Sharon Tate. (Falling James)~.. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........................................
