Meet FaceCarver

I’m Kiran, and I am the lead singer and frontman for Facecarver.

I love hard rock because it is high octane and so much fun to perform onstage and put on a show. The feeling it gives me when we play a song everyone knows and the crowd starts going crazy is one of the best parts.

My favorite bands are My Chemical Romance, Van Halen, and Metallica because they are all amazing live performers.

My favorite concert was seeing Metallica at Soldier Field, and the best part was screaming Seek and Destroy with thousands of people!!

My name is Malcolm.  I play guitar for FaceCarver.

I love hard rock because I grew up listening to it and grew to love and enjoy it. The creativity and energy behind the music are something we still get inspired by today.

There are many bands that I like, but now I’ve been enjoying Van Halen. The artist who inspired me to play guitar was Joe Bonamassa.

There are many concerts that stand out, but the Metallica concert in Chicago was by far the best concert I’ve been to.

I’m Raunak, and I play guitar for Facecarver and my other band, 7 Ark.

I love hard rock because of the technicality of the music, but mostly because of the passion and heart that goes into the music.

As a guitarist, I am influenced and inspired by the greats: Jimi Hendrix and his unique style, Tim Henson and his insane technique, Eddie Van Halen and the feeling and passion he showed through his music, and finally Kirk Hammett’s shredding style that has influenced my own songwriting.

The best concert I’ve ever been to was Metallica at Soldier Field. That was my first stadium concert, and I got to see Zak Wylde and Wolfgang Van Halen shred as openers!!

My name is Ryker.  I play drums for FaceCarver.

I love hard rock for all of the different eras and genres from old to new and everything in between.

My favorite bands are  Ice Nine Kills and Beartooth.

My favorite concert besides every Ice Nine Kills or Beartooth show, which is about a dozen, would have to be Metallica in Chicago with my boy Malcom; we were on the barricade. Also seen them in St. Louis, which was also awesome!

My name is Theo, and I play bass for Facecarver.

I've loved hard rock ever since I found my dad's CDs in his Trans AM and he let me listen to them all while we were cruising. I've been listening to I-Rock 93.5 ever since.

My favorite bands are Motorhead and Shinedown

My favorite concert was the most recent one, Shinedown Dance Kid Dance. They had Beartooth open, which I also love, and played all my favorite songs by them. The fireballs and fireworks were awesome too!
