This project is a personal project full of murder, suicide, depression and woe. It's dark, evil, and very cut throat(pun intended). The base is punk rock and metal, the premise is horror. This is a one man project fronted by the ever alluring Justin Terrell also known as "Justin Schock" taking on all tasks of instruments, vocal and writing duties. 

First Date Funeral is a Horror Punk project just really a wing it kind of thing. Justin Schock, wrote some music and wanted to branch outside his state and find someone with a voice that spoke to his soul. Pixy Dust of the band Fiends of a new Republic was this voice. Hailing from the New Hampshire area, Justin Schock reached out as a fellow artist and came to an agreement. Thanks to the internet First Date Funeral was born. Check it out, tell your friends, there will be more in the near future.

Alberto Atalah, a Chilean drummer,
began playing drums when he was 14. 

After five years of private lessons on drum kit and snare drum, he began studying classical percussion at the PUC in Chile, where he learned to play xylophone, marimba, percussion sets and classical snare drum, as well as other instruments.

While studying, he stood out for his snare drum skills in particular. Alberto has also taken private lessons from a number of drum teachers over the years.

Alberto’s strengths are rock music, double bass drumming, rudiments, polyrhythms and odd meters.

From 2008 to 2016, Alberto's main musical project was The Outside, a Chilean/German metal band based in Berlin. After two albums and countless shows in Europe and South America the band decided to stop performing, giving all the band members the chance to continue with other musical paths.

	In recent years Alberto recorded and toured with a variety of rock, metal, pop, progressive and latin bands all over Europe (Germany, UK, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Poland, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Czech Republic, and others), in Russia and at very well-known festivals like Summer Breeze, M'era Luna, Metalfest, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, and others, performing in front of thousands of people.

In 2014, Alberto was invited to participate as a member of the jury in the national part of the German contest "Jugend Musiziert", the most important musical contest for young musicians in Germany.

He’s been living in Berlin since 2005. At the moment he's teaching full time at thePlanetDrum Berlin, an international drum school with over 170 students in Berlin, and touring a lot with different bands as an independent drummer.

Alberto has endorsements with Pearl Drums, Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals and Ahead Armor Cases
