Turbid North – Orogeny

The story of Turbid North parallels the hunter as they both have a strong drive to survive and meet challenges.  The band started in North Pole, Alaska back in 2001 right near Fairbanks.  Original members Forkel, Rydlinski and his brother Adam Rydlinski (drums) were accomplished musicians with Adam even spending time in the Alaskan Symphony Orchestra.  "We quickly made it to the top of the Fairbanks metal scene” says Forkel “but there was really no where to go from there."  

 

Though big acts in the world of heavy music rarely came, when they did come Turbid North were selected as the opening band.  

 

The group opened for Darkest Hour, Godsmack (twice), Adema and their show with Drowning Pool changed their lives. "The guys in Drowning Pool watched us and said you guys are great but you’ll never make it if you stay here.  They told us that the scene in their home area of Dallas/Ft Worth Texas was great and that we could really make a name out there."  

 

The band worked full time as Lumber Jacks saving up all their money and a little over three years ago picked up and moved to Fort Worth, Texas.
