Musician, Bass/Guitar
Joshua Van Ess
















Josh is the bassist in the heavy metal band, Of Hatred.  Although he loves many musical genres, metal has a special place in his heart.  "It's not just noise, and it's not just about being loud - but being loud IS sweet."

Of Hatred was born from the hatred of others towards the metal genre.  Daily, members of this band talk about music to people and hear others talking about how senseless they think metal is.  The members of Of Hatred have a different point of view - they believe metal has meaning.  Its purpose is to bring raw, tribal, energy together with music technique for a good time, and bring good music to a crowd.

"I believe that metal can not only create positive energy, but it can help those in distress find release through even the darkest times. "

Josh volunteers at the Lemery Foundaton and is currently apprenticing in tattoo art creation.  His artwork, like his music, has strong tribal influence and expresses strong emotions.
