Praetorius

About Me

.. ..Formed during the summer of 2005, Praetorius realized its roots early while molding songs in the searing heat of a tiny shed in Raleigh, NC. Led by the heart pounding beats of Dan Nusz and the complex riffing of guitarist John Sayres, Praetorius set out to show the world its view of how metal should be. Through long nights of writing and searching Nusz and Sayres met up with Elliot Madre to put together a trio of pure music essence. With the additional six string power of Sam DeFilipp and now bassist Alex Kiser, Praetorius aims to inject the world with a generation of music untapped. Soaring guitar solos, vocal swagger, and thunderous drums will lead the way as Praetorius vows to show a new view on a timeless artifact.
