About Me

A Fatal Obsession. There are many stories behind the name. Their music, emotionally fueled by the events in the lives of each individual member of the band, is what truly defines them. Every song, whether it's drawn out by good or bad experiences, is always composed with the kind of raw effort that draws out the blood, sweat, and tears of one's soul. An obsession is something that one generally tries to avoid. To the band, an obsession is something that's confronted. They use the obsession and transform it into positive waves of sound that have the ability to tap into the essence of one's life.[LOVEMYFLASH]

Band Members:

One of the first two original members of the band, Audie's dedication to AFO began at the young age of fifteen. Originally a bassist of the duo, he began playing the guitar three months after forming the band with his close friend Mike. He lives by the mysterious code of "Band Law" that he and Mike established since the formation of the band. Like Mike, his guitar-playing roots are melodic, but times of anger have forced him to explore the new grounds of heavy metal. A combination of both areas has helped to establish the sound of AFO.

The original guitarist of the band, and the other original member, Mike took up the guitar a little before Audie, at the young age of fourteen. He lives by the code of "Band Law", always putting the band before anything else. Like Audie, his guitar-playing roots are melodic, and he has also explored the new grounds of metal, helping to establish the band's sound. After learning and practicing the art of "tapping", Mike has decided to go back to his roots of melodies, incorporating both skills into one in order to strengthen the sound of AFO.

The band's drummer, Ray officially took up the art of drumming in the summer of 2008. Though he was recruited at the age of fifteen, it was not until two years later that he had a set of his own. It was Ray that inspired both Audie and Mike to tread the grounds of metal, as he used his open mind to frequently listen to new music that he has yet to hear himself. Though he is new to the drums, it didn't take him long to reach up to the level of skill that his band mates have worked hard to achieve. Only the future knows his true potential that will help to build the sound of AFO.

The bassist, Brandon is the newest member of AFO. The opposite of Audie, he was originally a guitarist, and has recently taken up the bass. Though he is the new to the art, it's his dedication that has impressed his band mates, and it's his ability to learn quickly that got him recruited to the band. His loyalty to the band is as strong as the other members, and his persistence to create music that has yet to be heard by anybody brings the band just one step closer to completing the sound of AFO.
