Bio:
METONIC, old school heavy metal with a twist.METONIC is an original metal band from Fort Worth, TX. The members of METONIC are seasoned veterans of the DFW metal scene and are looking to make an immediate impact to the metal community. As well as being the chief song writer, Rich Stafford will be singing lead vocals and playing lead guitar. Cole Hazer Hilliard will be slaying it on lead guitar. John Woodard will be crushing the bass and backing vocals. Joe Miranda will be bashing the drum kit and keeping us on track.Rich Stafford has been in and out of live bands since he was 17 years old and has performed all over the Western United States. Mostly cover bands, but there were always originals mixed in. Rich appeared as a guest vocalist/guitarist/writer for the Badlands Badass release of “One for You” in 2006. In 2012 Rich recorded a solo release (RSP, THE RICH STAFFORD PROJECT) at Dog Haus Records in Spring Creek, Nevada. It is more of a guitar showpiece than anything else, but there are a few songs with vocals. The single “Talk Out Your Face” was played on radio stations across the globe and made it as high as #79 in the nation on the ReverbNation charts. In 2016 Rich was a founding member of DFW’s Iron Jaw where he served as the lead vocalist and lyricist. Iron Jaw recorded a four song demo and started building a solid reputation in DFW. After parting ways with Iron Jaw in 2019, Rich started looking for like minded musicians and eventually through Gary found Glenn, and Cabo to form Metonic.Hazer has come a long way in a short period of time. As the youngest member of Metonic he started out learning blues to the likes of SRV, Hendrix, Page, etc. Shortly thereafter gravitating to 80’s heavy metal and progressing into all things metal in general. As his skills increased, he began studying techniques of the likes of Marty Friedman, Buckethead, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, Jason Becker and John Petrucci. With an insane work ethic his soloing techniques have become ferocious. In addition to the guitarists mentioned, other main influences include Dimebag, Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads and too many others to list. Prior to joining Metonic Hazer had his own garage band Hollow Creek doing covers & writing his own original songs. Equipment: Jackson Guitars, Dean Guitars, DR Strings, Dunlop Jazz III picks, EVH III heads, Marshall cabinets w/ Celestion Vintage 30 speakers, Dunlop Original Crybaby wah, MXR 10-Band EQ and Munder Amplification overdrive along with various reverbs and delays.Joe Miranda started out playing the accordion in his youth. He then went on to start playing the drums in his high school marching band and also playing in copy bands. After a few years in the military he got back into drumming. Joining a band called 13th Hour they started out as a copy band, quickly switching to all originals and playing the Hollywood clubs such as Gazzarri's, The Whisky, The Roxy and clubs in San Pedro and Orange County in CA. After moving around for a few years and settling in Fort Worth he was in and out of copy bands. Taking a break for a while he decided to start playing again.Looking for a good original band he was given an opportunity to join Metonic and hasn't looked back. Sighting drumming influences he says most any drummer can be an influence if they make the song sound good but his favorites are Cozy Powell, Ansley Dunbar, Tommy Aldridge, Simon Kirke and Phil Rudd.
