ARMY OF DARKNESS began in 2004, in San Bernardino, California. The project was started by 2 former members of the band, KAOTIC KREATURE, Guitarist/Vocalist, Joseph Gonzalez, and bassist Brian Rogers. After placing an add in a local paper for months, and not finding what they were looking for, they eventually met up with Orange County based Drummer, Derin Argon, and he joined the fold. And a couple months later, the band began playing shows. Robert Provience then came in not long after that, as Lead guitarist.
In March 2005, A.O.D. then went into the studio, and very quickly, layed down tracks for their first Demo. At the very end of 05, they parted ways with guitarist Robert Provience, and he was replaced by Pat Smith. During 2006 the band continued to write music, play many shows, and gain a fan base all over southern California.
In May 2007 another lineup change occurred, and lead Guitarist Ant ( ex- CONTORTION) joined the band. Right now A.O.D. are hard at work recording their upcoming self released full length CD, "Forever Undead." The album should be finnished and out later this year.
The band has played shows in California, Arizona, and Las Vegas. They have shared the stage, and played shows with bands such as, EXODUS, FLOTSAM AND JETSAM, PRONG, M.O.D., SKINLAB, GAMMA RAY, DRAGONLORD, BELLADONNA, DORO, MUNICIPAL WASTE, ARSIS, DR. KNOW, VILE, SEVERED SAVIOR, WARBRINGER, NEW EDEN, FATAL SMILE, FUELED BY FIRE, MASTERY, BONDED BY BLOOD, and ANKLA.

Unleashing the sounds of Thrash/Speed Metal, combined with some elements of Grindcore/Death Metal, and Hardcore Punk Thrash, for a head spliting Metal sound. Their ready to explode on to the scene.
