Apathy Arising -
Brought together through a bizarre combination of Strippers, Key Lime Pie, A cross country voyage, Vermonters in love, myspace and one black metal karaoke rendition of Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In a Bottle” Apathy Arising have been bringing their unique blend of metal to the capital region since October 2006. Leaving a path of brutality and carnage in their wake ever since. With a sound hard to pin down or describe Apathy Arising is one of the only bands in the area to provide a unique fusion of all styles of metal. Influenced by hardcore, thrash, speed metal, death metal, black metal, punk rock, hard rock, and the occasional outlaw country song Apathy Arising continue in their pursuit of making extreme metal. They are dedicated to making music faster, better, harder and above all more evil than anything else wherever they go.
Originally formed in Orlando Florida by founding members Drummer, Liam “The Destroyer of All Things Emo” Malone and Guitarist Jamie "Methias Brown III" Taylor Apathy Arising have been playing together in various incarnations and under various names since early 2005. Many a singer, bass player, and even keyboardist came and went before the boys found themselves in the Capital Region of New York. It was there that they found their future front man Chad “The Viking” Oakland. Hailing from New Mexico Chad was notorious around these parts for his hulking presence at the Famed Hudson Duster and working the door at many a local concert venue. Known to be big, mean, intimidating, brutal, offensive, scary and an all around surly dude he was the perfect man to speak the collective metal minds of Apathy Arising.
With a front man, a place to practice, and some brand spanking new equipment Liam, Jamie and Chad continued to write and play without the presence of a bassist. Through the magical world of myspace they were united with Rick "Thick string harbinger of the apocalypse" Benoit. It became readily apparent the Rick was the only man for the job. Able to withstand various forms of abuse, pay part of the rent, and totally gel with the bands overall sound, Rick completed the total AA package.
Late 2007 they added the formitibal talents of BUTT, known for his insane, brutal guitar shredding with their friends in Belligerence. Butt has added a thick evil-laced guitar-like brutality to the AA ensamble and filled in the bass player spot for a time after Rick's departure from the band in late 2007. The band added the talents of young Nate to their ranks as their new bass player in early 2008 but unfortunately was replaced by "The new guy" Jonny "The Wop". Jonny brings a new intensity and life into the bass that the band are sure you'll enjoy and snap your necks to. During the summer of 2008 the band started recording their first full length cd to be dubbed "scrap metal" after their only apparent decription of their sound with Darian from the legendary NYHC band MERAUDER!
With years of practice under their belt Apathy Arising take their sound to the streets. Known for playing anywhere, anytime, and bringing homemade pie with them, AA have solidified a strong following in the capital region and beyond and are ready to continue their metal assault on the land.
