Nick Schendzielos

06/23/21 • 58 min

Graced with an incredibly fast thumb, Nick “Shinz” Schendzielos has become a highly respected and in-demand bass player. He brings double-thumb, tapping, slapping, chords, and fingerstyle techniques to thrash and death metal—genres whose bass players have traditionally only used fast fingers and pick strokes.

Nick complements his deadly serious chops with a killer sense of humor, and through it all, his intense dedication to craft, finding great tone, and creating great music keeps him motivated. He currently dishes out complex low-end grooves for Job For A Cowboy and Cephalic Carnage, to which he also lends his vocals. In the past, he’s also played with Havok and Vimana.
