Strativarium
Strativarium is composed of Danny Brymer (guitar and vocals), Jeremy Cardamone (keyboards), Ryan Sloan (bass), and Drew Strong (drums and background vocals). Danny and Ryan first met while studying music together at a university in Lakewood, CO in the Fall of 2005. They met Drew the following semester when he enrolled there as well. After having played together in different ensembles and discovering a great musical chemistry, they started Drastic Measures in September of 2007 with the vision of not only creating revolutionary music but challenging themselves as musicians as well through their unique and original approach to progressive rock. After about three months as a band, they added Jeremy Cardamone, another transfer to the school, on the keyboards to expand their sound. In May of 2008, due to many bands using the Drastic Measures name, they decided to change their name to Strativarium, coming from the Latin for “higher” and “beyond” to represent their complex and far out music.
With the creativity of Danny’s lyrics and guitar pyrotechnics, the atmospheric ambiance and virtuosity of Jeremy’s keyboard ability, the power and punch of Ryan’s bass playing, and the accuracy and intensity of Drew’s drumming, along with painstakenly crafted compositions, Strativarium is evolving as one of Denver’s most promising young progressive rock bands.
