SELECTED PRESS:
ASSACRE is a one-insane-man metal band.
Spin Magazine, July 2006
[ASSACRE] colors the rainbow in black with bloody pentagrams...Assacre is not a joke band, it's a performance, it's a show that uses metal music in order to provide a colorful, intelligent and emotional experience.
Yorek.com , July 2006
ASSACRE is but one man, but he wails like a metal symphony: thrashing guitar riffs interspersed with teeth-chattering beats and disturbing glimpses of humanity. Prog metal meets performance art...ASSACRE’s combination of classic metal and samples from evangeslist sermons, vintage TV shows, and sound effects brings metal out of the bonehead genre into a thinking man’s game.
Darcie Stevens, Austin Chronicle, February 2006
"Gay" gets thrown around the metal world pretty casually as a general insult or as a catch-all for all that is not metal. Ben Aqua, AKA ASSACRE, throws a wrench into that by being an openly gay artist working with metal aesthetics.
