Roy Rodney John Nick

Background
Adam had a couple of line ups in a band with Alchemist as the name in around 1986/87 before Joining up with Rodney in 1989 for the first real Alchemist line up, we wanted to create back then a original technical thrash sound , but we immediately started using some of the cool stuff we were hearing from prog/ psychedelic bands of the sixties as influences. Writing material for Alchemist keeps me busy with a keen interest in synthesis and effects , I try to think about the feeling of a sound or the way a piece of music may make you feel. And i guess that's where I am today , still searching for that illusive cool sound.

Pink floyd , Metallic, Young Gods, Skinny Puppy, Can, Hawkwind, Porcupine Tree, Black Sabbath , Iron Maiden, Opeth, Slayer ,Death angel ,Armored Angel, The Prodigy, Slayer, Ritchie Blackmoore, Freeway Jam, Hendrix, Motley Crue, Death, Morbid Angel, Emperor.
