I am the former drummer for NY's METAL band..
THROUGH THE DISCIPLINE. (RIP)
As of March 4th, 2007 (hours before we were supposed to leave for our "Temple of Brutality" Tour) Luis Ramirez (Guitars) and Mike Centrone (Lead Vocals) quit the band and left Mark and I hanging to dry. We were as shocked as you probably are.. They state "they no longer have it in them to persue their career as musicians".
Thank you for all of your emails, and support. Every single email will be read & replied to. I greatly appologize to all of our fans and I can not do anything but move forward in this situation. Mark and I will continue to dominate the stage & whatever it is that we decide to do together or apart.. we will be back .. only 200 times stronger.

Allen Benatar has been a dedicated drummer and live performer for as long as he can remember. At the age of thirteen, with an unspeakable amount of practice and dedication in school plays and the school band, Allen finally got the five piece Pearl Export Series drum kit that he had been dreaming about. As a young child, Allen always knew he would grow up to be the passionate musician he is today. "The energy that runs through my body when I pick up a pair of sticks is insane. At that moment, nothing else matters." In 1997, Allen met his match-
a group of talented musicians who would eventually grow to be the relentless forces of their band, THROUGH THE DISCIPLINE. To this day, they are inseparable.THROUGH THE DISCIPLINE has released over three CD/EP's and in 2004 their Debut Full Length CD/LP "Art of Survival" sold thousands of copies worldwide. TTD is currently working on new material for their brand new untitled Full Length CD set to be released in 2007.Allen's contributions to the band's sound are remarkable. He is able to manipulate his set in ways that no one has dared to try. Blessed with a rare ability to intuitively compute measures of time and beat, Allen's artful competitive edge is endless. Always ahead of his game, Allen's unique drumming style entails extremely fast and coordinated drum patterns that are recognized by many of his fans. His highly technical circular double-bass patterns and his off-time signature beats are extraordinarily uncommon. The band continues to tour around the country with national acts and Allen's impressive custom DW Lavender Lacquer six piece drum kit with DW 9002 double pedals doesn't leave his side. Allen's internal fire burns solely for the desire to be the perpetual cutting-edge of the music industry. His talents and contributions have endless Possibilities and his desire to learn and grow are extremely admirable.
