PROSTRATION is a heavy metal band based out of Framingham, Massachusetts. The band founded by Jim Ash former guitarist; co-founder of the Massachusetts death metal band BANE OF EXISTENCE. Jim began to form the band PROSTRATION with the intent of going back to his roots of thrash and heavy metal, after putting a few ads online the first person to respond was Keith Lambert a local RI. Singer who has done stints in a few local bands most notably FIST IN FACE a thrash metal band that had played around southern New England. Keith who's great lyrical writing and vocal style fits the music perfectly. The next person to respond to the online ad was guitarist Nick Emans a Ma. Transplant via Celina Ohio, Nick had played in a few bands in Ohio one notably being LOCK 14. Nick came into the band with whole songs pretty much completed add Keith and Jims tweaking and input of riff arrangements and the songs take on a whole new life of their own add in drummer Mike Fortunato formerly of the local metal band UNDYING GRACE. Mike who’s powerful yet articulate drumming style adds the right base to bring the songs to a whole new level and element to the already existing songs. The band is rounded out by former LETHAL FURY bassist Jim McHugh. Jim’s solid bass playing locks into the bands riffs and compliments Mikes drumming perfectly.The band is currently writing new material with the full line up and hopes to start playing out by this fall 2009.
