Eight Bells Official

This is the Official Channel for the Portland Oregon musical group EIGHT BELLS. 

EIGHT BELLS is a 3 piece consisting of guitarist/vocalist Melynda Jackson, Bassist Matt Solis, and drummer Brian Burke.

The band's founder, Melynda Jackson (ex SubArachnoid Space) has credited a range of influences that spans '70s prog and krautrock (Genesis, Popol Vuh, Magma), ambient and minimalist composers (Brian Eno, Steve Reich), and the progressive ends of the black and death metal spectrums (Enslaved, Ulver, Death, Gorguts). Jackson’s EIGHT BELLS continues in SAS’ tradition of heavy guitar exploration, adding a blackened dissonance to the mix as well as minimalist vocals. With this music project, she continues to focus on her unapologetically expressionistic experimental metal music.
