Profile Information
- What are you
- Metalhead, Band, Promoter
- About Me:
- We are a four-piece, all-female Metal band based in NY. We've been told we sound like a cross between Alice In Chains, Skunk Anansie and Sevendust.
- THERE IS NONELOUDER THAN:
- US! Check out this new, sweet review from Metal Maidens - "...the unstoppable force, that hides within these ladies. The vocalist is not the screaming kind, but her voice hits like a hammer on an anvil. A loud and clear sound fills your room...What a set of lungs! But better beware of the skills of the guitar player, and the hard-hitting beats and plundering bass lines of the rhythm section as well, because they’re also an essential part in the energetic sound of DORMITORY EFFECT...the musical skills are certainly more up front here...“Wealth Of The Disease” is a very good debut CD,...Released in 2005 already, but essential enough to review on our website. Hopefully, we can review more from this very promising band in the near future." - Metal Maidens
- Who I'd like to meet
- YOU! Our fellow Metalheads near and far. We don't care who you are, what kind of Metal you're into, what you look like or where you're from as long as you love it LOUD! We also book and promote our own shows and support our scene. So if you're band is looking to gig-swap, get in touch with us!

- Favorite Genre of Metal
- METAL!
- Favorite Band / Influences
- We all like a ton of different stuff, but the bands that unite us are Pantera, Slayer, Lamb of God, Faith No More, Zeppelin, old Metallica, Sabbath and Lacuna Coil. Individually, Bassist Urith digs stuff like Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Divine Heresy, Dimmu Borgir, Slipknot, At The Gates, Chimaira and Suffocation; Singer Sue loves Megadeth and Shadows Fall, MerryDeath and Gee love Sevendust, Disturbed, Staind and way too much Hair Metal. There are many, many more bands that we like...you'll just have to ask :)
Our bio...
Four New York women, Susan, Meredith, Urith and Gee paid their dues in such bands as Perseverance, One Step Beyond and Sympathetic Magic. Influential and instrumental in showing that metal was not just for the boys, these ladies have wowed audiences with their sheer talent and knack for writing aggressive, yet memorable material. After years of mutual admiration and guest appearances, they decided to take on the world as a united force - Dormitory Effect.
The effect has been impressive. In the short time since their official launch, Dormitory Effect has received kudos for both their live and recorded performances. Dormitory Effect was selected to perform at the Rockrgrl Conference in Seattle, becoming the second highest draw for the entire event. They were a standout at Toronto's prestigious North by Northeast Conference, putting on a blistering performance. They have been a featured live act on comedian Jim Breuer's Sirius satellite radio show, "Breuer Unleashed”. The band was also listed in the Garry Sharpe-Young book “The New Wave of American Heavy Metal”. Because of their ability to put on a jaw-dropping show, Dormitory Effect was invited to open for such acts as In This Moment, Jamey Jasta and Suicide City.
Their CD, "Wealth of the Disease" showcases not only the group’s formidable musical chops, but also their strength as songwriters and uniqueness as a band. Their song, "Let This Cease" is being featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming independent film "Dark Victory". Other songs from the CD enjoy regular spins on both terrestrial stations such as WBAB and WUSB as well Internet radio shows and podcasts like HardRadio.com and PureGrainAudio.com.
The music? It is melodic, yet heavy, propelled by a voice that is considered one of the best. A sound that celebrates the old while embracing the new. Powerful grooves articulated with a level of musicianship that well exceeds expectations. Thoughtful, emotional lyrics. A live show that is infamous and never disappoints.
Dormitory Effect has what the current music scene needs now. Strong music written and performed by women who are brave enough to forge their own sound in a time where originality is difficult to come by. A hard working band with a determination to succeed with the goods to back it all up.

Giving the people what they want :)
For those who don't know our history other than what's in our bio, we originally got together as a cover band. We drew up a list of songs we were going to do and thought it would be a fun way to jam together and make some extra cash. Well, one rehearsal Meredith came in with a couple of songs her old band didn't want to use (dumb move on their part), and we were floored. We decided we'd add them to our set, and then before you know it, more original songs were added and we became an original… Continue

HELL YEA
In case you didn't know, I am putting together a series of books entitled "Metal Queens", with interviews/quotes from
Female Metal fans and bands alike. I'd like to invite you to check out the information and see
if you'd be interested in participating in the book. Simply respond here with your e-mail
address so I can e-mail you the information or send an e-mail to me at carnifexmetal@gmail.com . If you aren't interested or know of other Female
Metal fans and/or bands that might, feel free to forward this letter or at least let them know
about us. It is our goal to get as many Female Metal fans and bands involved in the book as
is possible!
If you've already been contacted and sent us your answers, we apologize! There are several of us currently doing the initial interviews for the book and some overlap is to be expected...
