Low Twelve - So Heavy It Hurts

About Me

Low Twelve began in basement on West Graham Street in Bloomington Illinois during the summer of 1998. The band was founded by bass player/singer Pete Altieri and guitarist Tim McCleland. Les Aldridge was added as a second lead guitarist in late 1998 before the band's first performance. Original drummer Steve Chestney was replaced by Wes Pollock in late 1999.The band recorded two demos prior to their first full length, "Flesh of the Weak" in late 2000 when they supported Pro-Pain on the Round 6 tour. The track "Brutal World" was feauted on the horror movie soundtrack for "Jigsaw" and they received praise in the metal media for their debut release. They followed up with a double cd/dvd release "Maggot Ridden Rotting Movie" and "Unfit For Human Occupancy" that led to some legal troubles with a fan in the film. For those reasons, the "Maggot" dvd was removed from the package and they only sell the cd.In 2004-2005, Low Twelve recorded their next full length release, "This Side Toward Enemy" and released it February 14, 2006 on Rotting Corpse Records. On 1/1/06, the band signed with Rotting Corpse out of Chicago. To date the CD has been selling very well in the US as well as Europe and Asia to legions of new Twelve Heads. The band played many shows in 2006/2007 in support of the release and continues to stomp ass without mercy. They will be opening for GWAR on October 24, 2007 at the Canopy Club in Urbana Illinois!They began recording new music in 2007 and hope to release a new full length CD, "Blackened Spiral Down", in 2008 along with a DVD with videos for each song on the CD. Two videos are already done at this time, and they're working on doing more this fall and early winter.Low Twelve are proud members of Heavycore www.heavycore.net
