Klank

Splicing the Mosh Pit and the Dance Floor, this wrecking machine originally from New York known as KLANK released their debut album "Still Suffering" on the Seattle based Tooth & Nail Records in 1997. Breaking musical boundaries with a sound described as Dancy Aggressive Dark Electronically Infused Groove, KLANK spent 18 weeks on the CMJ Top 40 charts and their monster single "Downside" which was added to over 170 radio stations nationwide. KLANK gained an immense amount of attention and notoriety while forming a strong, loyal fan base with their constant touring and growing reputation for intense live shows. KLANK then made their mark once again with their sophomore release "Numb" which included the crushing single "Blind" which again made it into the top 40 on the CMJ charts. A video was also filmed for "Blind" which become a regular fixture on the Much Music channel. KLANK consists of Daren KLANK Diolosa (ex - Circle Of Dust) on vocals, guitars, Pat Servedio on guitar, keys, & programming, Danny Owsley on guitar, Charlie Parker on bass and Eric Wilkins on drums. On April 20, 2010 KLANK unleashed their "NUMB...Reborn" release which contains 15 tracks of the classic KLANK sound which included guest appearances by Jim Chaffin, Larry Farkas and Mike Phillips. Songs like Don't Count Me Out, Blind, D.F.L. and The Rules tip the scales of heaviness, while songs like Broken, God? and So Very Real lets the bands melodic side shine through in full form. KLANK is presently in pre production for their upcoming "URBAN WARFARE" release and plan to unveil it by the end of this summer. See for yourself how KLANK mesh the aggression and pounce of metal with the infectious drive of the dance floor and intertwine it within a foreground of synths, samples,loops and low end to form a truly unique sound all their own.
