Lance Garvin is a founding member, along with Bruce Fitzhugh, DJ Johnson, and Jason Truby, of the well known and highly influential Christian metal band Living Sacrifice. The band is well known throughout the Christian metal community as one of the most important Christian metal bands to date. Garvin is mostly known for using a Ride Cymbal in modern metal without making it sound thinner.[1]
Garvin is also known as the drummer of Christian Metal band Soul Embraced and has played with the bands Throwdown and Zao as well. He formed the band Kill System, along with fellow Soul Embraced members, Chad Moore and Rocky Gray, and former Evanescence guitarist John LeCompt.
Influences
Garvin has stated that his inspiration was Ace Frehley of Kiss. Here is what he said:
"I actually wanted to be Ace Frehley of Kiss when I was five years old. Their 1976 Destroyer album is what turned me into a metal head."[2]
Legacy
With Living Sacrifice, Garvin influenced many metal bands, such as, As I Lay Dying,[3] Throwdown,[3] 7 Horns 7 Eyes,[4] Saving Grace,[5] Demon Hunter[3] and Underoath.[3]
