About

There are multiple artists performing under the name Chris Collins: 1.) Chris Collins is the current guitarist/vocalist for Winterspell.......... In the dawn of 1994 Chris Collins set forth to create an original metal band he would call Winterspell.The name was derived from a poem that he had written in the early 90's that he had set to acoustic music off the album Supercalafragilistic Extreoverdosus most of that album was lost in a house fire but a raw version of "Winterspell" still exists and he also recreated two of the songs that he now calls the "Mourning Star" Project. While continuing to write he tampered with the thought of being a cover band artist but always the original Chris's heart was not prepared to follow the trend of recreating other peoples music and so he approached guitarist Tommy Conforte from a local long Island Sabbath tribute....... about some of his original metal and started writing over some of it creating the first "Winterspell" album entitled "Metal to the Grave".......Collins writing over pre existing material in an effort to speed up and simplify the process finally finished the creations in early 04........ and adding Tony Mattassa and Joey Lycon to the mix and so Winterspell was born. Collins took the songs to a new level and made it his own with songs like "Well of souls"," The Eucharist" "Seriokill" and " Dust Becomes my Home". Some definite progress was made but soon after the band dissipated due to personal differences. Collins and drummer Tony Mattassa forged on to many and several line up changes.Things looked very bleak.But due to their persistence they stuck it out together and plugged the life support back in with guitarist Pete Maglia of "Savior" and bass player Chris Kelly.
