Potters Field (demo finally done!)

About Me

Madison, Wisconsin. Formed in early 2003 from a diverse background of metal bands, the goal of Potters Field was to create music that was aggressive, melodic, and always challenging while bypassing rock n' roll clichÃ©s and ego. Early 2004 Potters Field began playing their first shows, and by April 2004 was found in the studio recording their first four song demo. Potters Field has quickly earned a solid reputation of being a top band of notable talent in the Wisconsin music scene. The band continues to receive airplay from 94.1 fm WJJO and 89.9 fm WORT in the southern Wisconsin area, earned the respect of George Kollias (NILE), Jimmy Bower ("SUPERJOINT RITUAL", "DOWN"), and other such national bands as "DRY KILL LOGIC," opened for several national acts such as "DOPE," "Corrossion of Conformity," and "Motorhead" and brought other national acts to Madison such as "EYEHATEGOD" to help promote the metal scene. Their song "Come Around" was featured in a Gary Fisher Mountain Bike television commercial. Potters Field has a severe dedication to true metal music and its fans. The band promotes their own "Metal-Fests," brings national metal acts to Madison, and arranges bus transportation to their distant gigs for fans. 2005 efforts were focused on finishing production on their first full-length 11 song self-titled release and spreading the message. The band welcomed SKYY Vodka as their official sponsor in October 2005. Drummer Erik Schultek was featured in the "New Blood" section of the July 2006 issue of "Drum Magazine." The positive review included great comments on their song "Machine." With influences ranging from established icons like Slayer and Pantera to Lamb of God and Superjoint Ritual, Potters Field has an approach that is uncompromisingly aggressive and darkly melodic. In a music scene dominated more by copycats and clichÃ©s than by talent, Potters Field carves a hardcore path through the hype and ego. Ferocious, intricate, and unforgiving, Potters Field is a much needed reminder of what American metal is all about. Potters Field songs available for download at www.isound.com/potters_field.
