Rogerson’s balance of aggressive screams and soaring vocals ensured his position as the band’s new frontman, and “Breathe In the Silence” replaced “T&A” in the band’s set list.</p> <p>The four-piece, rounded out by drummer Ricky Dikens, bass player Kevin Dabarno, and guitarist Ben Cowan, continue to chug their way through the notoriously congested Moncton metal scene. An insistence on dynamics, Rogerson says, is what separates Curse of One from the pack.</p> <p>But the band keeps a firm foot in the fundamentals. Dikens’ drums explode like gun powder choreography, with dancing tom triplets, smashing cymbals, and rampaging double-kickdrum. Dabarno’s bass is a steady boom in lockstep with Dikens, together holding down the bottom below Cowan’s roaring guitar. Cowan, the band’s sole guitarist other than occasional acoustic accompaniment by Rogerson, alternates between thick, hurled-brick rhythms and searing leads, throwing everything from arpeggio tapping to blues bends into his solos.</p> <p>“People started yelling ‘Acoustic metal!’” Rogerson says of the band’s set intro, a soft minor piece that leads into the apocalyptic “Process of Elimination.”</p> <p><a href="http://www.newbrunswickbeacon.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/CO1-piece_mixdown.mp3"></a></p> <p><span id="pod_audio_1"> </span><br /> <script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[ AudioPlayer.embed("pod_audio_1", {soundFile: "http://www.newbrunswickbeacon.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/CO1-piece_mixdown.mp3"}); // ]]></script></p> <p>Luke Rogerson on the subtleties of screaming your lungs out.</p> <p>It’s Rogerson who leads the band’s contrast of unbridled aggression and break-down introspection.

There are lots of ways of getting the strings to vibrate.”</p> <p>Classical guitar is played like a piano, allowing for baselines, melodies, and chords to be played at the same time. The right-hand technique allows Peacock and other classical players to create many different voices on what is typically a single-voiced instrument. Voices are the different sounds the guitar is able to create, whether it’s a baseline, a melody, a chord, or harmonic.</p> <p>Acoustic players are limited in the sounds and number of voices they’re able to play. Most often they’re using free strokes or playing with a flat pick all the time.</p> <p>“Nothing’s wrong with using a pick. It’s a great way to play guitar,” he says. “But you’re limited to only playing either single strings or adjacent strings. You couldn’t pick out the sixth string and the fourth string and the first string at the same time with a flat pick, but you can easily do that with the right hand.”</p> <p>The right-hand technique Peacock describes allows for the guitar player to use different fingers to pick different strings at the same time. The sound a classical guitar makes has a level of complexity and variety to it, he says, created by this technique.</p> <p><em>A clip of Peacock playing in Sir James Dunn.</em> </p> <p>“When I first started playing guitar, I was just bashing around on an acoustic guitar,” he says.</p> <p>He was 13-years-old when he first started bashing on that acoustic guitar, and was about 15 when he started playing classically. It was a cousin who played a little bit of classical guitar that first introduced him to the technique.</p> <p>“I thought that was interesting, and I liked the sound of classical.”</p> <div id="attachment_3460" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.newbrunswickbeacon.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_48051.JPG"><img class="size-medium wp-image-3460" title="IMG_4805" src="http://www.newbrunswickbeacon.ca/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/IMG_48051-300x200.jpg" alt="Peacock demonstrating different finger articulations." width="300" height="200" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Peacock demonstrating different finger articulations.</p></div> <p>Peacock studied privately and attended workshops, but never went to school for performance.
