Closed Casket

Closed Casket currently a 5-piece progressive/goth metal band from the greater Boston area.

The band is comprised mainly of talented musicians and highly experienced Boston band greats, including guitarist Dan McGrath , lead guitarist Dan Pardi (ex Downfall, ex Clepto), bassist Alx (ex Afar), drummer Sam Serio (ex Shadow and Eve, ex Clepto), dominating vocalist Chico (ex Killgrip), as well as recently departed keyboardist Nicole Hunter (ex Freezing Winds).

The band was reborn in early winter, 2004, when ex guitarist Mario and Sam began to work with Dan and other ex-Downfall members on a new band. After trying out different vocalists the band came into contact with Chico, a dedicated performer, whose raw vocal style and prominent stage presence quickly integrated well with the band's intricate "horror metal" sound.
The band seen some changes in the line-up throughout the years with most recently Dan Mcgraths musical experience on guitar and Alx's dynamic style on bass, which make up the final lineup today.

Closed Casket has a unique and relatively unprecedented sound, drawing a wide range of comparisons to bands of all types of metal. Each member contributes greatly to Closed Casket's unique sound; Dan's intricate guitar melodies, Alx's grating black metal influence, Sam's unique brand of drum rhythm, and Chico's searing vocals, all contribute to create a unique and powerful sound that is in a class by itself.

The band endures a rigorous practice and show schedule, and has played with such artists The Misfits, Madball, 45 Grave, Destructor, Merauder, SuperPower to name just a few. With the band's rapidly growing fan base and powerful stage presence, as well as an upcoming recording, Closed Casket is poised to take the local metal scene by storm.
