About Me



We are a group of individuals who through the search for meaning in our own lives have found meaning in music. We create an atmosphere that begs understanding and demands deeper thought. Our music will put the body in motion and madden the mind. The five of us strive to exploit the energy of our youth by bringing in as many minds and engaging them into coming back again and again.

"...like eating a hit of acid and staring at the things on your little sister's wall." -Anonymous, "Korn on a roller coaster then dropping off into your own world and shooting back into heavy shit." - Bryce Rindahl, "Tool and dogs having sex, like metally shit but not enough of it." - Tyler Lewis, "makes you feel like busting a basic survival load on a woman's face." - Jeff Schweinfurth, "Sounds like a mixture of Mudvayne, Tool, and Deftones with solos of Metallica and the shredding of Pantera." -Omar, "It makes me feel like unleashing an enormous amount of hate amongst those that hate." - Ham Bone, "Rock...some people would even call it heavy metal. Different from anything I have ever heard. Alternative, even." - Nicole Rathbun, "Orgasmic!" - Tiffany
