Bill Carroll formed Warhead and performed from the mid 80s through the mid 90s. Bill retired from music in 1996. In 2006, Warhead’s lead singer Greg Peters talked Bill out of retirement. After several attempts to reform Warhead with old Warhead alumni they decided to go in a new direction.  Greg had a friend that played drums and that’s how Gary MacDougall was brought into the band.  A chance meeting at a local merchant in Stoughton led to Jacob Tapper trying out for bass. Together since 2008, this is by far the best ever lineup for the band, so Bill decided they would rename the band and these would be the founding musicians.

Nuclear Theatre is an original metal rock band influenced greatly by Black Sabbath. There's an old school sound that goes right back to the roots of metal. Most of the songs were written during the 70s and 80s giving N.T. the authentic early metal sound and feel. Nuclear Theatre members are: Bill Carroll on lead guitar, Greg Peters, lead vocals, Jacob Tapper on bass guitar and Gary MacDougall on drums. For more on Nuclear Theatre visit www.nucleartheatre.com or at www.myspace.com/nucleartheatre. 

 

 

 

In an era saturated with over-polished cookie-cutter rock, the essence of rock music itself seems to be losing some of its edge. Not the case with Opaq, a MA/NH-based hard rock band together since 2007, whose members have come together with natural raw sounds that stand the test of time. On its debut album, “The Doldrums,” the chemistry is powerful, resulting in a heavy rock record that weaves its way through many genres and unique arrangements.

 Consisting of Jim Dillon on vocals/bass, Chris Hrycuna on drums and Tyler Venture on Guitar, the members of Opaq came together as a result of many failed New England based bands and an answered ad.  Their debut album “The Doldrums” is infused with a strong sense of darkness and sarcasm. Opaq has roots in the past but is set firmly in the present. It is that combination that makes “The Doldrums” so original.

 Opaq is finding its audience through intense, honest music. Fans who want to be enveloped in harsh reality will be attracted to the band's sound, which is a musical testament to honesty, purity and brutality. Opaq's second full-length album “Seeding the Clouds” is scheduled for release in August 2010. For more on Opaq visit the band websites www.opaqband.com and www.myspace.com/opaqband.
