Guitarist, Vocalist, Producer, Composer, Oudist Donnie Maynard Christianson, aka Circuit Scream, blends rock, metal, soundscapes, and electronic music to create a unique brand of scifi-inspired ambient-electronic guitar rock, often pitting melodic, bowed electric guitars against a backdrop of soundscapes, grinding synth bass and Marshall-driven rhythms cranked to 11.
Donnie is strongly influenced by virtuosic guitar gods like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, composers Howard Shore & Jeremy Soule, Scandinavian metal artists Nightwish, and in recent years Celldweller. His vocal work with Silverwing showcases classic metal influences reminiscent of powerhouse singers like Geoff Tate and Rob Halford.
Donnie’s latest release, DarkScapes, is a 39-song ambient/electronic project that includes some tracks generated entirely via software from the album’s various artwork. He is currently recording a new instrumental guitar album, Visions, and a brand new Silverwing album with a new lineup of the band.
