Hell I Feel – Russian Thrash Metal

We are very happy to introduce our new bassist!

Jeff Rose is 21 years old, he was born and raised in Santa Cruz, CA.
Jeff started playing music when he was seven or so – his parents made him take piano lessons. “That didn’t last too long because it was boring” – Jeff says. Then he played saxophone in the middle school band. Jeff got tired of that too and decided he wanted to play guitar but the school band didn’t want guitarists so he played bass instead. Jeff got his first guitar at 11 years old and he never looked back.
That was around the time when he started getting really into metal. Jeff grew his hair out when he was a freshman in high school and got really serious about his playing. He started some bands with some friends. “Nothing too serious but it was fun” – he remembers. Then right after high school Jeff and his friends started a band called “Imperium”. They played melodic death metal. “Imperium”got signed to a small label and played around the San Jose scene for about three years but then the band fell apart when the drummer left the band. Jeff started looking for a new band and put out an add on Craigslist. Stephen Hawkins (HIF guitarist/vocalist) was the first person to respond with what seemed like a legit band. Jeff met with the band, listened to their music, played some of his stuff and was offered to take the bassist position.
We are lucky we have Jeff. He is a great musician and a very nice person. He completed the most deadliest line-up of Hell I Feel. Jeff will appear on the stage with the band during Your Music Olympics Battle Of The Bands at The Coasters Lounge, Santa Cruz, CA on March 11th.
