Your name:
Ethan
Baker.
Where are you
from?
We are all from
South Orange County, CA.
Name of band:
Omnis.
Who else is in
your band?
There is AJ
(Drummer), Kyle (Guitarist), Dan (Bassist), and Dalton (Vocalist). I am the
other guitar player.
How would you
describe yourselves and your music?
Our foundation
is death metal, but we experiment a lot with other styles and genres. When you
combine all of our music tastes, we damn near cover everything. We love metal,
but from the beginning we have always tried to fuse other styles with metal.
And when we do switch on the fly into another style the look on
people's surprised faces is always priceless.
Who are your
main influences musically?
We listen to so
many different kinds of music that when we write anything can happen.
But I would have to say Between The Buried And Me is a big
one. Some others that you might hear in our music include Born of Osiris, Scale
The Summit, Dream Theater, and The Black Dahlia Murder. Of course,
this is just the metal side of things.
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
We just want to
create great music that people can enjoy. If we can one day do this full time,
then great. If not, then we are just going to keep putting music out there and
play live whenever we can.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Finishing our
full length CD Accumulation. We recorded it all at Kyle's
studio ourselves. It was a lot of work, and I don't think we had any idea
how much goes into a CD when we started. But it was a great
learning experience. Most bands do EPs, but we had, and still have, so
much music that we went for the full length. We didn't want these songs to go
unused. So we went for it. At least now when we go back into the studio to record
another, we will know how to handle the process more efficiently.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
Probably the
time we had to pull out of a show. Its very unprofessional to do this as a
band, but there was no benefit of playing. We were paying to play in front of
no one really. And it just wasn't worth it. The booker was not too happy, but
at the end of the day, you need to do what makes sense. Especially when you are
paying to play.
If you had to
pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Dehumanize. It
has a killer jazz/groove opener with a clean guitar solo. It transitions
straight into djenty heavy riffs, followed by a bass solo, then two guitar
solos. And Dalton's vocals sound wicked on that song. All around,
it represents the sound we have started moving towards.
Where can we
listen to it?
You can download
our full length CD on Bandcamp. We gave you the option to Name Your
Price. So you can get it for a penny, ten bucks, or for free! It
is completely up to you. Here is the link: omnismusic.bandcamp.com
Where can we
find out more about your music?
And if you want
to hear the album in its entirety before you purchase it,
you can find it under the BandPage tab on our Facebook page, on our SoundCloud,
or the YouTube album stream we have up. All we ask is that if you like it,
share it with your friends! Here are the links:
Anything else
you’d like to say about your music that I forgot to ask?
I don't think
one song on the CD sounds like another. So give each one a shot. You might
be surprised what you come across. We are working on a few singles we are going to release later this
year. So start following us and stay tuned!
