Джоэл Грэм - басист английской Thrash металлической группы Evile и бывший басист металлической группы Rise to Addiction.
Биография
[ редактировать ]Грэм родился 10 февраля 1977 года в Дьюсбери , Англия. На него сильно повлияли его родители, чтобы насладиться музыкой, и его доставили на рок -шоу с 7 лет, чтобы увидеть такие группы, как Queen , Iron Maiden и Bruce Springsteen . Грэм начал играть в Бас в качестве своего главного инструмента в 1988 году, играя в местных группах в районе Западного Йоркшира. Он переехал в Ноттингем в 1999 году и помог сформировать рок-группу Stoner Ninedenine, которая выпустила EP высоко оцененного Scars в 2001 году. За это время он также работал над заказами по обработке Records Records для тогдашнего первого веб-магазина лейбла.
In May 2004, Graham moved to Kenora in Northwest Ontario, Canada where he spent time volunteering in the First Nations community.
Rise to Addiction
[edit]In 2006, Graham returned to his birth town of Dewsbury and replaced Rob Naylor as the bassist of Rise to Addiction. Graham co-wrote and played on the albums A New Shade of Black for the Soul 2007 and Some Other Truth 2009.
Evile
[edit]On 16 December 2009, Graham was announced as the replacement for Mike Alexander, the founding Evile bassist who died whilst on tour in Sweden on 5 October 2009.[1] Graham played his first show with Evile on 14 January 2010 at Cardiff Barfly, also the same day his daughter was born. After a long intensive tour through the United States in 2010, he began recording the third Evile album Five Serpent's Teeth. This is the first Evile album to feature him as the bass player, although the re-dux edition of Infected Nations released in 2010 contained a bonus disc of live material which featured him playing bass.
Writing
[edit]In early 2014, Graham joined Bass Guitar Magazine as a reviewer and contributing writer.
Playing style
[edit]Joel Graham uses both a finger-picking style and a plectrum when performing, although his preferred style is finger-picking. Graham mainly uses the alternate two-finger (index and middle finger) picking style, but he performs a speedy three-finger roll style (made famous by bassist Billy Sheehan) during faster songs such as "Descent into Madness" and "Long Live New Flesh". He uses a plectrum for all songs originally performed by Mike Alexander, commenting in several interviews that he wanted to play those songs just as Alexander did.
Influences
[edit]Graham has cited bassists including Steve Harris, John Entwistle, Cliff Burton, Billy Sheehan, Les Claypool, Scott Reeder, Pat Badger, Frank Bello and John Deacon as influences.
