Biography

Driven by brothers Jake and Pete Adams, Valkyrie draws from pre-metal style to create a rich and earthy stoner metal sound. They formed in summer 2002 as a three-piece consisting of vocalist/guitarist Jake Adams, bassist Eric Seaman, and drummer Luke Shafer. [http://www.rockdetector.com/artist,48673.sm Valkyrie at Rock Detector] ] In 2004 Jake's brother Pete was introduced on second guitar and a five song demo was recorded at a local college radio station. [http://www.rockdetector.com/artist,48673.sm Valkyrie at Rock Detector] ] Shafer soon departed and was replaced by Mike Hoke on drums and a new demo, "Sunlight Shines", and a split 7" with VOG were recorded. Seaman and Shafer parted ways with the band at the end of 2004 and were replaced by bassist Nick Crabill and drummer Nic McInturff. [http://www.rockdetector.com/artist,48673.sm Valkyrie at Rock Detector] ] This line-up recorded the eponymous debut album, which was released by Twin Earth Records. In early 2006 Valkyrie again parted ways with its rhythm section and recruited current bassist Will Barry-Rec and drummer Gary Isom (Spirit Caravan, Pentagram). Isom and Valkyrie parted ways in mid 2007 and Valkyrie recruited drummer Warren Hawkins.
