This husband and wife duo from the greater Cincinnati area
formed Vexing Souls as the final result of many years of
musical experimentation by Steve Burris. Incorporating
heavy guitar, bass, keyboards and drum machines the
music takes on a heavy metal sound with gothic influences.
Each song tells its own story through the use of powerful
rhythms, solid structure and memorable lyrics. Steve Burris
has been playing guitar for many years, performing as a
member in several different local bands. Unsatisfied with
merely playing other artists' music, Steve constructed a
home-studio in order to focus on creating his own unique
style of original music. The clean, melodic vocals and
thought-provoking lyrics written and performed by Judy
Burris add a distinctive female flavor. Vexing Souls' sound
utilizes musical elements similar to such bands as
Evanescence, Lacuna Coil and Within Temptation.
We are very pleased to introduce a new
member to our band.  Chris Voynovich is
now our drummer.  He has plenty of
experience and a ton of talent and we
already enjoy working with him.  Chris is
also a
custom jewelry designer and is
working on a special project for the band.  
He will be selling his creations at our shows
and also here on our website.  
Stay tuned......
