About Me

MyGen Profile Generator


Welcome to the Official C.O.T.C. MySpace Page! We would like to thank our friends for the steady flow of love and support. C.O.T.C. is progressing steadily in 2008, gracefully and aggressively conquering one venue at a time...Stay tuned for LIVE updates daily! We are an original hard rock band based in Denver, CO. Our musical influences include Godsmack, Tool, Led Zeppelin, Down, Alice in Chains, Corrosion of Conformity, Black Sabbath, and Clutch...to name a few. We strive to be a unique and diverse group of musicians that actively journey through the light and shade of music. Our musical landscape is set in heavy & thunderous jams, yet we visit the lighter acoustic places that many bands tend to forget. In order to tell an epic tale there must tension & release, body & climax. We are original, learning and growing from our influences rather than simply becoming them. Originality and substance are key...Congress of the Crow was the name given to a Kama Sutra position known to most folks as the "69". In it's artistic form, it's a symbol of Harmony, Balance and Strength. It is similar in many ways to the Yin-Yang symbol. We believe that everything in the universe has a balance that must be maintained in order to live harmoniously, or to create honest substantial music.

Add to My Profile | More Videos The magic of C.O.T.C. involves three unique individuals that play music from from the heart, that feel soul and emotion, and paint a vast landscape in sound. As Led Zeppelin created a sound shrouded in mystery, borrowing from different parts of the globe, C.O.T.C. continues the journey in yet another epic catalog. Neither black nor white, both heavy and ight, C.O.T.C. blazes it's own path and makes it's own way, in it's own place, in it's own time. If you up for the journey, and your mind is open, you are welcome to enjoy the ride...
