Book of Numbers was founded in June of 2019 by Brent Barker (guitars) and Kevin Schuhmacher (vocals)
while rehearsing material for a Black Sabbath tribute band. They decided to join forces to write material
with classic doom metal riffs, soaring powerful vocals, and virtuoso guitar solos. They then recruited
bassist Dennis Hayes (Iced Earth, Tim “Ripper” Owens). Originally, Dennis was recruited to join the U.S.
based Ozzy Osbourne tribute band “I Don’t Know” which Kevin has led for the past 13 years and also
features Brent on guitar. However, greater things were meant to be as Kevin and Brent wrote an entire
album of original material which became the basis for the band Book of Numbers. Phoenix, AZ session
drummer Gary Bruzzese recorded the drums but is not an official member of the band.

The vision of Book of Numbers is to take the listener on a journey that has elements of classic heavy
metal, opera, and movie soundtracks, all tied together with great songwriting and musical
performances.

Recording sessions for Book of Numbers debut album, Magick, took place at several studios in their
hometown of Phoenix, Arizona, U.S.A. Initial recording sessions were engineered by local legend and
Grammy award winning Clarke Rigsby. Final mixing for the album was completed in Nashville, TN U.S.A
by the legendary David Thoener (Rainbow, AC/DC, Aerosmith). Upon reviewing final mixes David
commented. “the quality of this band reminds me very much of my work on the album Rainbow Rising”
which of course featured the legendary Ritchie Blackmore and Ronnie James Dio. Mastering was
completed by Marc Frigo in Nashville, TN U.S.A.
