Swarm of Eyes Vocalist Growls, Screams, and Now Sings
Sven Lindstsrom, power metal yodeling icon and SOE vocalist Randy Carter's esteemed mentor
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Swarm of Eyes lead singer Randy Carter has added “singing” and “yodeling” to his ever-expanding vocal repertoire.
“I figured, George and Deej can play more than three chords… EACH! And Jeff plays bass using more than one string. It was time for me to step up my game,” said Carter. “I want to be known as more than just a megalomaniac with a wicked-awesome jheri curl and impeccably groomed sideburns. I want to be known as an artist who takes his craft seriously, too.”
In an effort to hone his vocal chops, Carter enlisted the aid of iconic metal yodeler Sven Lindstrom. Lindstrom is recognized for his innovative “power yodeling” techniques, best exemplified on his landmark albums, Metal Up Your Alps and Run to the Hills in Lederhosen.
As a result of Lindstrom’s tutelage, fans can expect an even greater range of diversity in Randy Carter’s vocals when Swarm of Eyes actually gets off their collective asses to play a string of live shows this summer.
SOE Guitarist George O’Connor at Boston Comic Con
Swarm of Eyes guitarist, George O’Connor has a secret identity. When he’s not melting faces with hellacious riffs, George is a mild-mannered comic book writer. HEALED, the independent comic book that George has collaborated on with artist Griffin, interweaves several stories of what happens when life-threatening sickness and disease are no longer a part of the human experience — and it’s not quite as rosy a picture as it initially seems. Published through Homeless Comics, HEALED has received positive reviews, most notably from G4TV’s Blair Butler on her Fresh Ink Blog.
George and Griffin have recently completed Issue #3 of HEALED, which will be making its debut at the Boston Comic Con on April 30th and May 1st. Swarmies who have already hopped aboard the HEALED fan wagon can stop by their booth (more…)
