This is the first of a series of blog articles that I'll be writing about rock bands that are gone but not forgotten. I was inspired to write about these bands after talking with a few friends on social media about certain groups that we had seen live in concert. We wondered what happened to some of them, so I decided to do a little digging. I'm going to stick with bands that I've seen at shows first, and then probably expand this series to other well-known bands that are no more. With that said, let's begin with the Canadian metal band Closure.
I saw Closure open for Sevendust at a small club not far from where I live now. I was just getting into the venue when I could hear their set begin. Closure originated in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 2002. The group was signed to TVT records and released their only album, a self-titled eleven-track effort a year later. Their biggest hit was the song "Look Out Below," which was featured on the Darkness Falls movie soundtrack in 2003. A music video was released for the song, but it was the only video that the group would produce.
Closure called it quits in 2006. Frontman Brian Howes went on to become a producer. So far, he's helped develop hits songs and albums for Hinder, Puddle of Mud, Adelitas Way, Nickelback, Skillet, Rev Theory, Daughtry, Veer Union and other bands. Drummer Robin Diaz, bassist Brian Jennings and guitarist Axel Jimenez have remained mainly out of the public spotlight since the band's breakup.
Well, that's all I've been able to find about Cinder so far. If you have additional details, feedback or bands that you'd like to see covered in this series, please let me know. Until next time, have a great weekend and don't forget to be kind to one another.
