Warbeast

2015-02-22T17:26:00.000-08:00

Bio:

The band was originally formed in the fall of 2006 under the name Texas Metal Alliance. In April 2009 the band officially changed their name to WARBEAST. The band is signed to Philip Anselmo's label Housecore Records.

With the “retro-thrash” trend in full-swing, and hordes of bands trying to re-create “old school metal”, Texas monsters WARBEAST offer the real thing. Their music is not the result of careful study of 80’s thrash or classic metal; it just comes naturally because that is who they are.

RIVETHEAD is a Dallas, TX based quartet whose music paints musical soundscapes like a cyborg armed with a XM214 machine gun, blasting holes through a more-than-boring landscape filled with mundane terrestrial radio-rock, sappy grunge rock, and scream-a-bit-too-much-latetly?-scream-o rock.

RIVETHEAD has an impressive resume, having had music cranked up on nationally syndicated radio shows, XM Radio, at Dallas Stars and Dallas Cowboys games (as well as several minor hockey league teams), on several television shows, and has been featured on a motion picture’s soundtrack.

"We are not a love song band, nor do we care about how hard you can party or how many chicks you think you can score. Musically, we are aggressive yet delicate, with a strong sense of detail and vision." And this description is prominently on display throughout such stand out tracks as "Friendly Fire," "The Architect," and "Superposition."

Driven Below is Stealing Stealing Axion's Drummer

2014-11-26T20:43:00.001-08:00

Blake Ferris playing drums, because he's a drummer, yall Driven Below announced the addition of drummer Blake Ferris to their lineup. Blake previously played drums for Stealing Axion (Century Media) out of Tacoma, WA and Hostility (Voltaic Records) from Novato, CA. Blake replaces former Lesser Known God and Jacknife drummer Tommy Crooks.

Driven below are planning to get in the studio with Blake and recent addition Danny Reid (Within Chaos) on vocals to get some new material out. In the meantime, I've included the full version of Stealing Axion's Everything or Nothing and Within Chaos' Power Trip after the jump, so if you play them both at the same time, it will sound like madness and probably drive you insane. So don't do that.
