ABOUT MADERA:
With fluid instrumentals and Jake White’s melodic (but not cookie-cutter)
vocals, anchored by drummer Lloyd Snyder, MadEra combines the old and new: ‘80s
metal sensibilities strained through a more modern, sometimes hardcore, presentation.
Lead guitarist Chris Madara has played with Snyder in a variety of bands for
more than a decade. Searching for a vocalist who could scream as well as sing.
Enters White who, Prior to joining MadEra, filled back up roles playing guitar
and adding harmony to singers that preferred to scream. After burning through
more than a few bassists the band struck a nice fit with Charlie Rickard. All
told, Snyder has played glam metal. Madara dabbles in classical guitar. And the
soft-spoken White, members joke, could just as easily be an opera singer.
MadEra also has a full length CD titled “The Strangest Place,” which
involved the engineering help of singer/songwriter Shane Gamble. In which, the
bands ‘80s metal influences ring clear. However, what makes it more their
own is the added volume and raw intensity – stop and go, toned down elements
of hardcore. Plus, on the other side of the spectrum, there are slowed down tempos
to accentuate musicianship and the versatility of White’s voice.
