AMPORA Biography
How it started… MM (lead vocal): This project was always destined to happen. It was inevitable that Kuntry and I would join up and make the music we have been hearing in our heads for all these years. We have been best friends and obsessed with heavy metal music since grade school so as far as “living a dream” goes, this is it. ME (guitar, vocal): This is the band Matt and I have wanted to start since we were kids. After high school we both took separate paths but eventually we both ended up in California and we just started to write music and it all began. It was basically a no-brainer, it’s funny how shit works out. EM (bass, vocal): Kuntry and I worked together at a music shop and he asked me to sing on demos they were working on. But after collaborating together for a couple months and of course partying, I somehow just became apart of the band. KR (drums): One of my friends first told me about Ampora. They were obviously desperate to have me in the band, considering I auditioned with my snare stand being an upside down drum stool with no sticks and I still got the gig…I guess I’m just that good. JH (guitar): I from Sweden and I shred on the guitar, of course I’m in this band. Reasons sacrifices were made… KR (drums): HUMAN??? MM (lead vocal): Some people just want to be in a band, I just wanted to be in this band. Almost every decision I’ve made over the past few years was made with the intention of Ampora being born. ME (guitar, vocal): This is all I know…. I’ve sacrificed half my life to playing and writing music and for better or worse, I wouldn’t change a thing. EM (bass, vocal): Well I did have to sacrifice two strings. JH (guitar): Well, I did leave everyone and everything to go after this dream (coming from Sweden and moving to the States). But there has always been a lot of "I can't do this if I want to do that" that comes with being a musician. KR (drums): Fuck if I know, I should've been a pornstar. What to expect… MM (lead vocal): We intend to give everything we have into this band, you will be able to see and hear how important this music is to us with every song written and show played for as long as Ampora exists. ME (guitar, vocal): Honesty MM (lead vocal): Honestly? KR (drums): Putting ginger drummers back on the metal map. EM (bass, vocal): There are five guys in this band and everyone single one of us is so passionate about making heavy music that I am excited to think how with every song written, Ampora’s sound will progress. JH (guitar): We all come from vastly different backgrounds musically and as with every interesting band to ever grace the earth, it makes for pretty cool music.
