Great name for a band
Alarming Practitioner
The story
Alarming Practitioner is a musical group that originated from the small coastal town of Ardent, Maine. The group was formed by four childhood friends: Mick Daniels (Vocals), Jonny "Strings" Adler (Lead guitar), Frankie "Beats" Turner (Drums), and Carl "Keys" Watson (Keyboard). Equipped with a shared passion for music and a burning ambition, they decided to start a band in their high school years. They performed at school talent shows, local fairs, and finally worked their way up to substantial regional concerts. Their name, Alarming Practitioner, was inspired by a local legend about a ghostly doctor who was notorious for his strange and frightening medical practices. They decided to adopt this name as it perfectly resonated with their band's unconventional style and unique sound.
Alarming Practitioner's music falls under the genre of Progressive Rock with strong influences from Psychedelic Rock.
One of their hit songs is entitled "The Shadow Doctor's Lament.
Verse 1 Am C In the town of Ardent, under the moon's lament, Dm E Stood the shadow of a doctor, his spirit yet unspent. Am C Over the sound of silence, his eerie tune was sent, Dm E A melody of mystery, in the night it was pent. Chorus Dm Am Oh, the Shadow Doctor's Lament, C E A chilling tale, a whispered torment, Dm Am His spectral hands, a ghostly instrument, C E Crafting fear in the firmament. Verse 2 Am C He danced beside the ocean, where the waves were discontent, Dm E A silhouette of sorrow, where shadows came and went. Am C A figure from a fable, his time in this world spent, Dm E Still, his song keeps echoing, a timeless testament. Chorus Dm Am Oh, the Shadow Doctor's Lament, C E An echo of the past, a faded segment, Dm Am His story told through our music's cement, C E Forever in our hearts, the fear he lent.
