About Me


EMOTIONAL – POWERFUL – HEAVY – AGGRESSIVE
That is how we would describe the sound of THE ASYLUM
Following in the footsteps of bands like Pantera, Lamb of God, Metallica, & Megadeth, this band lays down power grooves like no other.
This is the way heavy metal is supposed to sound. This is the new breed of heavy metal.
The Asylum album, Closer to the Evil, is a non-stop sonic assault from the opening thunder of This War Ends, into the chest pounding anthem Invincible One, through the industrial barrage of This World, & finalizing with the gothic & sobering conclusion in the 9 minute epic Boundaries.
Closer to the Evil is 11 songs & 60 minutes of vast sonic soundscapes, punctuated by intense drumming, tight rhythmic changes, and The Asylum's trademark unique metal style. Guitarist Vince LuPone’s absolutely crushing sound mixed with wild & lucid heavy metal guitar lines set the tone on the album, & vocalist Jason Kendall’s amazing repertoire of vocal styles, abilities, & sheer passion make this one of the tightest and most downright badass metal recordings of the new millennium. Master of the bottom-end Gerard Burick & talented speed metal drummer Dan Edwards anchor the band live, and each brings the thunder in one of the most talented heavy metal rhythm sections playing today.
Mark our words, this is the heavy metal album of 2007. Catch them on tour this summer!
