Timothy L. Aymar (born September 4, 1963 - February 14, 2023[citation needed]) was an American heavy metal singer. He is best known as the vocalist of progressive metal band Pharaoh[1] and for his work with Chuck Schuldiner in Control Denied.
Career
Often known for his strong vocals on Chuck Schuldiner's Control Denied band [2] but his music career as a vocalist started years before that. He's been a vocalist since 1985 with the band 313, then he joined Triple x and released an album with them. Then he joined Psych Scream, where his bandmate Jim Dofka introduce him to the music of Chuck Schuldiner and his band Death. Schuldiner heard Aymar's voice on Psycho Scream and contacted him through his bandmate Jim Dofka. After a three-song audition, he joined Schuldiner's new band Control Denied as the vocalist.[3]
Awards
Aymar's band Triple-X won the In Pittsburgh Music Awards for Best Metal Band in 1990, and was the first regional band to be awarded a national sponsorship, which was from Anheuser-Busch/Budweiser Anheuser-Busch.[4] Tim was also voted 'Vocalist of the Year' in readers polls of many of the Pittsburgh Tri-State Area's rock and entertainment publications.
