LUCAS BANKER
In 2003, the merging of two talents Lucas Banker and Logan Mader as Dirty Icon ignited a fire that has quickly resonated in the music industry and in particular in the metal world.
Lucas Banker, known for his work with Life of Agony frontman Keith Caputo and songwriting collaboration with electronic artist Junkie XL, and Logan Mader of Machine Head and Soulfly fame, were introduced by a common friend and business associate. Immediately the two had an undeniable chemistry and went on to compose a number of television and theatrical trailers including Sin City, War Of The Worlds, Zorro, I-robot, Fantastic Four and hit shows The Shield and Prison Break, as well as scoring for Microsoft's hugely successful racing game, Forza Motorsport, and to produce many up and coming bands.
In recent years their productions have included Junkie XL's "Today", Silent Civilian's debut album "Rebirth Of The Temple" and Still Remains' "The Serpent", which debuted in the Top 200 on US Billboard Charts and Top 100 on the UK Charts. Dirty Icon is also producing many highly anticipated releases in 2007 including 5 Finger Death Punch's debut entering in the Top 200 Billboard Charts, Divine Heresy featuring Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares, and the hugely anticipated Inflikted album for Roadrunner Re]ecords which is the new project featuring multi-platinum selling Sepultura's Max and Iggor Cavalera.
In addition, Dirty Icon is venturing into collaborations with current artists in a writing, producing, and mixing capacity. Most notably is the new project called Death Pilot featuring guitarist Tomo from 30 Seconds To Mars and Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein from the legendary band The Misfits.
Expect many more exciting writing / producing projects from Dirty Icon in the future.
