DEBRI

Typically, if you’ve ever known anyone from a small town, ultimately



their goal is to get as far away as possible and begin a new life. Such is the



case for a small Texas town metal band known as DEBRI. Refusing to



conform to the many passing trends, DEBRI incorporates a vast variety of



influences into their sound, ultimately writing and performing material that



will consume the listener. Simply it’s just writing music that people can



relate and get into, but doing it in an absolutely intense fashion. The



foundation of southern groove, hardcore, and a touch of death metal



complemented by an explosive amount of energy and aggressiveness is a



fitting title for the group. DEBRI takes pride in every aspect of their music,



most importantly trying to connect with the listener and the audience, making



them feel as much a part of the music as possible.



After breaking into the Dallas/Ft. Worth metal scene 2 and a half years



ago, members Brian McCoy, ( vocals ), Jeremy Trollinger, ( Guitars ), Brad



Kirkland, ( Bass ), and J. D. Wakefield, ( drums ) have been writing,



recording, and performing nonstop. DEBRI released their debut independent



album, "The Life of Death," recorded at TLA Studios in Weatherford, TX, in



the summer of 2007. Since then, have made a name for themselves in



areas like Ft. Worth, Dallas, Abilene, San Antonio, Wichita Falls, and east



Texas, but still strive to hit every city, town, nook and cranny to spread their



music. Taking pride in their live performance is what caught many people’s



attention and turned some heads for the group.



DEBRI has been fortunate to share the stage with bands such as ALL THAT



REMAINS, OBLIGE, EARLY GRAVES, POWERMAN 5000, LIGHT THIS CITY,



FARLESS, DYING FETUS, CEPHALIC CARNAGE, YEAR OF DESOLATION,



SKELETONWITCH, EARSHOT, and most recently took home the grand prize



at The Monster Energy Garage to Ozz Battle of the Bands contest hosted by



97.1 The Eagle out of Dallas. Out of 200 bands, DEBRI was awarded a one



year sponsorship with Monster Energy and had the honor of playing



OZZFEST 2008 at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, TX. DEBRI opened the Monster



Energy stage with acts such as THE SWORD, DROWNING POOL, RIGOR



MORTIS, THE DESTRO and WITHIN CHAOS, as well as sharing the bill with



Legendary names such as OZZY OSBOURNE, METALLICA, CAVALERA



CONSPIRACY, SHADOWS FALL, DEVIL DRIVER, GOATWHORE, SOILENT



GREEN, KINGDOM OF SORROW, SEVENDUST, HELL YEAH.



Although the young band has accomplished a lot in a short amount of



time, it is far from being complacent. DEBRI is determined to maintain their



momentum while pushing forward and eventually spreading their music to



the masses regionally, nationally, and worldwide.
