About Me

PLEASE DONATE TO HELP THE BAND BE ABLE TO TOUR THIS SUMMER, THEY NEED A LOT MORE MONEY THAN THEY HAVE FOR THE VAN AND GAS, ESPECIALLY SINCE GAS PRICES GO UP THIS SUMMER. Donate securely below. Thank you so much!
An honest, free-spirited, not-pushed-around-by-the-politics band is hard to come by, especially when you're a fan of metal. With all the people who think metal and satanic music should be banned in the world, many bands end up submitting to the public opinion of what music should be. DENYING THE OBVIOUS is not one of those bands. The four-piece lineup has made it known that they are here to say what they feel, and not to please anyone. Their lyrics speak to everyone because every word can be felt any time frontman Brandon Zemel sings or screams a line, and it's felt in every person's heart who hears it, while Brendan Brecka's pounding drums give each song the heart-thumping backbeat they deserve. Every song has a personal meaning behind, yet one that everyone can relate to, whether it be about love, family, friends, hate, God, the devil, suicide, or anything else. The band makes sure you know it's the truth. The members, Brandon Zemel (lead vocals/guitar), Kevin Borrello (guitar), Chris Gerges (bass), and Brendan Brecka (drums), come from different musical backgrounds, which have all evolved over the years, from classic rock to death metal. Denying The Obvious presents an uncommon fusion of alternative rock and hardcore, with the touch of emo in their heartfelt lyrics. Their live shows are always a topic for discussion, as they bring their high level of energy to the stage, right in front of your eyes. Their new songs will be even better than the last batch, and the band will stop at nothing to show the world what they've got; a heart full of emotion, and a band full of metal.
The band released their first album Crimson Peace in April 2007, and return to the studio in January 2008 to record their sophomore effort, Sinister Desire, slated for release in March/April 2008. The band signed with DTO Records in April, which changed it's name to Worldcore Records in May. Sinister Desire will be released under Worldcore Records.
REVIEWS
"Denying The Obvious’ live stage performances always have high-energy. And when combined with their heavy heart-thumping beats, mind-warping melodies, and deep, powerful, emotional lyrics, it creates an atmosphere that no other band has yet created. Their career has skyrocketed. They have gotten much better, written many songs, and have been playing alot more shows. Denying The Obvious rocks!" -Amanda Zemel
"A great band... could breakout soon..." -Dan Gargano, CEO Audible Spectrum Records
"Really good!"- Sound man at The Galaxy Cafe
"Kick ass!"- Casey Leatzow, Three Lakes, WI
"And that was Denying The Obvious, a metal band based from right here in Morristown. That track was called Crimson Peace, and it's off their brand new album, just released April 14, and the album is also called Crimson Peace. Expect to hear a lot more of them in the near future! They're a great band with a lot of potential, and I know they'll become big soon."- David "DJ Smokey" Cook, DJ for WJSV 90.5 FM, Morristown, NJ
"Pretty good"- Eric Doyle, Morristown, NJ
"Like a pill of f**king anger and music. Best taken when pissed. Denying The Obvious rocks!"- Mike Clarke, Chatham, NJ
