Band Profile - Powernap On Satan's Floor

Genre: Metal

Powernap emerged from the metal minorities of Berklee College of Music. With band members from all over the US, we joined together to form a band from our diverse influences.

The main songwriter of the band, Ryan (Satan) Beckwith, is from Connecticut. His influences started in Classical Music and spread to Melodic Death Metal and Tech Metal with such artists as Children of Bodom, In Flames, Between the Buried and Me, Meshuggah, Tchaicovsky, Mozart, Beethoven, and Paganini. Powernap is the second metal band he has started and it's music is an expression of emotions and longing for a group to give inspiration to something more than just a band.

Steve Olmon is Viking-looking guitarist that grew up all over the west coast. His roots are in progressive rock/metal such as Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, and Symphony X.

Wyeth Holman is the really tall guy who dresses up for shows (you'll see). His roots are in Black and Death Metal such as Mayhem, Dark Throne, Burzum, and Dimmu Borgir.

Joe (Taskforce) Tasker is the guy behind the keys, mostly dwelling on choral type structures for fullness of sound, and harmonies with guitars he makes a necessary component of Powernap. His influences come from the goth scene in Washington D.C.

Matt Price is the drummer from PA. His raw energy and tight beats make playing live easy. His influences come from all across the board in the metal genre.

Jeremy Day is a singer born in Norway, lived in Sveden. He studed in the jungles of the amazon wilderness. Most of his studies were about lyric writing. His influence come from Meshuggah, All Shall Perish, Fredrik Thordendal's Special Defects, Amon Amarth, Tool, Nothingface, and Captain Coniption and the Fits.
