Bio: Formed in the summer of 2004. By winter of 2006 the band had written and recorded their 65 minute self titled full length album. Having independently sold over 500 copies of their debut album, Damascus has developed a loyal following garnering them 4 straight appearances at Manitoba Metalfest featuring such bands as Unexpect (TheEnd) Anonymous (Galy) & legendary Canadian thrash band Sacrifice. As the band began getting tighter musically, the songs became longer and more technical with songs ranging from 2-14 minutes in length.
