Ryan Lystad and Allen Pingleton played as a two piece band with Ryan on the vocal and guitar duties and Allen on keyboards, background vocals, and electronic percussion for several years. They recorded two albums with this lineup, 1998's "Loathe" and 2000's "A Gift of Disorder". Previously drummerless, Affliction had relied on electronic rhythyms as a foundation for its songs. It remained so until, April of 2000, when Adam Mercer became the newest member of the band, finally adding a live drummer. With Adam, new doors opened for Affliction as Adam breathed new life and energy into the band. Adam seems to have been the missing piece of the puzzle and Affliction are now a solid force on stage and in the studio. The band released their appropriately titled third album, "III", in late 2004 and looks with great anticipation to all the future holds. They continue to play in Texas often, but are always looking for new places to play. They live for and love their music. The Affliction is coming and there is no cure.
