Laid To Rest was formed in Columbus Ohio in the latter half of the 90's. A simple phrase, "as heavy as possible", was used to designate the direction the band took. The five musicians set forth to make technical, powerhouse metal. They succeeded. Soon after, they released a demo cd named "Are You Talkin' To Me?" which featured the songs Lost, Last Flight, Flag of Hate, and Backlash. After gigging and working hard, the band recorded Garden of Stone featuring technical proficiency, melded with aggression. THIS NOT THAT LAID TO REST!!!! Though we respectfully resurrect the name, it is not our intention to rehash the past. And why would we. Itwas what it was. Damned good. Now, with a line up featuring Draven Sanford on guitar, Justin Brown on drums, Casey Folds on bass, and vocalist Shawn Uptegraph, this incarnation stirs - bringing the same fierce edge Laid to Rest always had combined with a modern flavor. Powered by pain, Laid To Rest are a force to be reckoned with. Come look the wolf in the eye..see what gifts he brings you.Click here for Myspace glitter graphics and Myspace layouts
