In the fall of 2011, Eric Evatt, Dick Payne, and Roger
George began creating the foundation of what has come
to be known as Il Da Morte. Drawing upon songs written
by Eric Evatt, they quickly found their sound and niche
within the local metal scene. Quickly, they began to
write more material and progress into the powerhouse
trio that they are today.
The sound of Il Da Morte draws heavily upon the influences
of old school metal, delivering a brutality laced groove.
Being a trio, their sound is composed of grooves and
breakdowns as opposed to the blistering ego-feeding
guitar solos of other bands. The thick rhythm section
of Dick Paynes low end thundering bass and Roger Georges
intricate but in the pocket drums set the foundation
for Eric Evatts crushing yet melodic guitar work. Live,
Il Da Morte dominates every stage they step foot on
with a professional determination to leave the audience
screaming for more.
