In the Fall of 2000, five young and hungry musicians out of Cape Coral, Florida formed as Ekotren, in an all-out pursuit to bring passion back to the game of metal. They have hung in tough and really started to make a name for themselves on their local club scene and now are scheduled in a short time to unleash their self-released debut album, entitled The Tables Have Turned. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the work I have done with this band up to this time, for it's rare to find such a talented bunch that are as well mannered and respectful as I have found Ekotren to be. I had some questions answered recently by their bassist, Sean Fiene.
MetalUnderground.com:Who is your single most important bass playing influence. And why?
Sean: I know you hate them but I have to say Ryan Martinie from Mudvayne. L.D. 50 blew my freakin' mind. His tone and style made me rethink how to play bass. The sound he got drew my attention to playing Warwick and after I tried one down at our local music store I had to get one. I'm not trying to copy him in anyway, but he opened my eyes in how to write a different bass line. Also having a badass drummer in your bad doesn't hurt you in becoming a better player.

" I know you hate them" - What's that supposed to mean? Who hates Mudvayne? It's awesome that people are recognising Ryan for the talented bassist that he is  . |

but if its old metal, I'd hardly call it "underground". Old metal is classic, new stuff that doesnt get radio play is underground!
