Choking Faith is a four piece heavy metal band based out of Altoona, PA. Originally formed over 5 years ago, the group has been through the ocassional lineup change but always remains strong. Releasing their debut self titled 3 song EP in 2003, Choking Faith currently features Jason Mittan on vocals, Dan Miller on Guitar, Steve Seymore on bass and Joe Richards on drums. This should very well be the final lineup for the group as it has proved a mainstay over the past 2 1/2 years.
Drawing their influence from the likes of Pantera, Coal Chamber, Slipknot, Devil Driver, Machine Head and countless others; Choking Faith embodies everything that makes metal great. Powerful, yet comprehendible and occasionally obscene, vocals. Forceful and driving Pantera-esque riffs, featuring the obligatory fret board work. All this, along with a forceful and solid rhythm section, combines to create one of the most popular bands in the local music scene.
Live shows are not to be missed; though keep the young ones at home as they can become appropriately vulgar and lewd. Although originals will always be their forte, the group occasionally pays homage to the greats such as Slayer, Sepultura, Killswitch Engage, Motley Crue and others.
Set to release their newest offering "Thru The Ashes" on Friday October 13th 2006, on indie label Heartless Mockery Records; Choking Faith remains one of the truest and most favored metal acts in the area.
