Sophia's Decline are a progressive hard-rock/metal band from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. They formed in May 2006 as a compilation of five artists and friends, all with differing influences and musical backgrounds, and all from a different part of the country. Each member has been involved in the OKC music scene for several years earning radio play, "Track of the Day" at GarageBand, lot's of stage time, dedicated fans, and a lot of good advice and experience. Vocalist Kevin Gardiner, a Rhode Island native, combines soft heart-felt melody and breathy vocals with chilling shrieks and powerful screaming to create and deliver the emotion behind each song. Drummer/percussionist Misty Doughtie, from Oklahoma, draws on her metal influences as well as both hip-hop and tribal persuasions. Bassist Jeremiah Griffin, from Missourri, having studied jazz bass and theory for several years, adds a unique twist to the genre and is the heartbeat of the music. Guitarist/Sampler Cameron Volk, from North Carolina, provides the Hard-Core/Metal feel that is the cornerstone of their sound, as well as adding an Industrial layer with synths, samples, and keyboards. Guitarist Josh Smith, from Florida, grounds and compliments each song with melodic overtones, heavy riffs, and creative solo-work. Over the last year Sophia's Decline have found a common ground and evolved, both as people and as musicians, to develop a sound that is a surprisingly graceful blend of each individual's influences. It is at this point that Sophia's Decline are proud to give their music to the world and feel that they have created something that their listeners will be able to relate to and identify with at any stage of life.
