AMERICAN INDIAN MUSIC features brand new music
and exclusive interviews with the members ofthe Acoma Pueblo metal band
WHEN DARKNESS FALLS and Award-winning journalist and author VINCENT
SCHILLING (St. Regis Mohawk).Acoma
Pueblo is home to one of the oldest
continuously inhabited villages in the US. Now it gives something to
carry the warrior spirit of the Native peoples to the world, the
all-Native American metal act known as WHEN DARKNESS FALLS. Six of
Acoma Pueblo’s sons were drawn together in October 2004 and first went
by the name Tormented Soul. PATRICK “BUCKY” VALLO on drums, ROLLIN'
“ROE” VALDO on guitar, and LARSON “DUTCH” VALDO on guitar were drawn
together and were the catalyst that would spawn When Darkness Falls.
They were soon joined by BRANDON “TURTLE” VALDO on vocals, LAWRENCE
“JAY” GARCIA on bass, and ZACHARY GARCIA on additional vocals. They
drew upon musical inspiration by playing covers from some of their
favorite bands like; Metallica, Pantera (RIP Brother Dime), OZZY, Rob
Zombie, Killswitch Engage, and others from this genre. The love for
music and live performances flowed within their group and inspired them
to write their own original material. . In 2008 When Darkness
Falls signed to an independent label MYSTERIA RECORDS and
released their acclaimed debut CD A NEW DEFENSE. It was a success and
the CD continues to sell well. Now the band has retruned with the
release of their latestt triumph BLOODSTONE. On JANUARY 3, 2012,
BLOODSTONE was re-released by UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP to over 500
markets, ensuring the bands reach beyond Indian Country. Download

LUSH holds a BA in Creative Writing from the UNIVERSITY OF
NEW MEXICO. He established ROCKWIRED on New Years of 2004 and hasn't
looked back
since. He is currently the host of all of ROCKWIRED.COM's programming
which includes such shows as ROCKWIRED RADIO PROFILES and ROCKWIRED
FREE FORM RADIO. As
program producer for ROCKWiRED.COM, LUSH is hands-on when it
comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
