Mike Babiuch - Lead Vocalist / Guitarist
From writing lyrics in class and playing in the local church in junior high, to pop-punk garage bands and practicing metal with friends throughout high school, Mike slowly developed a passion for a wide range of music ranging from Blink 182 and The Offspring to the legendary metal groups of the 2000's, such as Breaking Benjamin, Killswitch Engage, Chevelle, Static-X and many more.
Mike took a hiatus from playing in bands to pursue his music career after high school by attending the Armed Forces School of Music to become a percussionist with the US Marines. While stationed abroad he also studied voice privately in his spare time to continue developing his vocal talent. Mike would continue to sing and perform as a military musician for the duration of his enlistment until honorably discharged in 2011. It would be another 10 years before Mike would find the fire to pick up his guitar and start playing again.
With influences ranging a multitude of genres from latin music to metal to classical, combined with a background in classical vocal performance has resulted in a unique and powerful sound full of melodic grace and diabolical screams. Deadly Virtues is Mike’s debut album as a metal artist, and with the tenacious riffs and intense vocals commanding the attention of all who may hear, Deadly Virtues is stepping back into the metal scene to reclaim the glory days of early 2000's metal.
