Biography
The idea for THE BANISHMENT has been years in the making for acclaimed guitarist DAVID LYNCH (Dokken, Lynch Mob) to further push his creativity into darker, subliminal and chaotic territories. To accomplish this, he teamed up with programmer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist JOE HAZE over five years ago, who in addition to being the live guitarist for Lords of Acid, is known in the industry for his work producing/co-producing, mixing and engineering for acts including Sublime, 8MM, Raymond Watts (PIG), Chuck Mosely, David Archuleta, Jedd Moss (Air Supply), Gladys Knight and television networks such as ESPN and National Geographic.
Following multiple failed attempts auditioning vocalists, THE BANISHMENT was close to being shelved until through a series of chance meetings and connections HAZE was introduced to DEVIX AKA at the 2019 Cold Waves Music Festival; he had been grinding his teeth against metal in the Los Angeles underground with acts including The Narcosis Design and Symbolism (featuring original members of Christian Death & Samhain) under the “dream punk” genre.
THE BANISHMENT has since been collectively working around the unpredictable covid-19 lockdown restrictions to record their debut single “Lost Horizon” and will continue to work on material for the forthcoming full-length debut due in early 2021.
