Jeff Martin, Stu Marshall: Blasted To Static - is a new band from the US featuring Jeff Martin singing legend from RACER X

BLASTED TO STATIC is a new band from the US with some really established musicians. Headed up by the incendiary vocals of JEFF MARTIN, who has his fame from 9 great records with the US Metal legend RACER X and influencing an entire genre of guitar players, Jeff continues to display his incredible vocal range with BLASTED TO STATIC. He also worked as a musician for MSG, UFO and BADLANDS. Joined by Australian fret-melting guitar wizard STU MARSHALL (DEATH DEALER, DUNGEON, EMPIRES OF EDEN), which influenced an entire genre of guitar players, their goal was to bring back the high octane vocals combined with riffing mayhem and outstanding guitar shredding! The rhythmic talents of bassist REV JONES (STEELHEART, MICHAEL SCHENKER, LESLIE WEST) and Australian session demigod CLAY T. on drums play it very hard to add an incredible groove. BLASTED TO STATIC represents an uncompromising and intense odyssey from veterans of the metal scene. But for all the high-octane, hook-laden riffing mayhem, the band’s versatility also encompasses acoustic elements and more subtle, understated interludes. “We’re embracing an organic approach with this band,” says guitarist Stu Marshall. “Don’t expect music from a single genre – BLASTED TO STATIC is all about full artistic freedom, so you might even hear echoes of Black Sabbath or Queen.” More explosive than a hailstorm of hand grenades, they deliver a cutting-edge offering that is both refreshingly new, and re-imagines the hallmarks of 80’s guitar histrionics as a sonic hurricane that will blow the roof off.

Background:
Guitarist for “Paindivision” and “Empires of Eden”.

As well, I keep busy as regular columnist for Guitarist Australia magazine and national ESP, Randall and Digitech endorsee for Australasia.

Having been obsessed with guitars since the age of four I have been blessed and lucky to have been so busy the last 25 years.

Previously I played in Power metal band Dungeon, completed extensive national touring, 3 tours of Japan, two world wide tours covering most of Europe, Canada and the states. While in Dungeon I had the great pleasure of touring with bands such as Nightwish, Destruction, Edguy, Angra, Mayhem and the Australian / European leg of the 2005 “Blackmail the Universe” tour with metal giants Megadeth.

After departing Dungeon in 05 I created “Paindivision” and have been fortunate to have supported Black Label Society, Sebastian Bach, Helloween and more recently Armored Saint and Death Angel on their recent Australian Tour. Paindivision released the debut cd in 2007 and the follow-up “One Path” in October 2008 which reached great critical acclaim in receiving 9/10 from metalobsession.net and 8.2/10 from Pyromusic.net.

During this time I have been recording my solo cd “Altered states” and also, now I am currently releasing the latest project “Empires of Eden”, a melodic metal epic spanning close to 15 guest performers and some of the most talented singers anyone could hope to work with.

On top of that I write regular articles for Guitarist Australia Magazine and complete national clinic tours for ESP Guitars, Randall Amplification and Digitech effects here in Australia and also Japan. Recent session work has me featured on the upcoming heavy rock cd by recording artist “Tiffany Gow”.

I offer session work at competitive rates and due to owning my own studio “Frontiers Studio”, I can offer fast turn around times if required.
