About Me

We grew up in a small town somewhere around the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th circle of Dante's Hell. We spent our days amongst the hoarders and wasters who had everything and wanted more. We knew the gluttonous who spent their days eating, drinking, and partying until the next day came and the cycle started again. We were overlooked by the lustful who were all too perfect to associate with the like of us. In other words, We met in a Catholic High School. We were ambitious, but very naive. We wanted fame and fortune back then, now we've grown up and we write because we want to. We write what we like and don't care what the correct "formula" those that reside in the 9th circle of hell prescribe. Its those who are treacherous, that lack love, specifically the love of music and creativity, that would be the Judas to our gods of music. Yeah, Im talking about record executives. Screw 'em. We offer our music to the masses. Like it or hate it, its all ours.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/27/2006
Band Members:

Influences: AKHERON The god of the underworld river of pain (and a damn fine salsa dancer to boot).

KOKYTOS The god of the underworld River of Tears and Wailing (talk about a pessimest, he could make Mr. Rogers depressed).

LETHE The goddess of the underworld river of Forgetfulness (ummm.. I was going to say something here).

PYRIPHLEGETHON The god of the infernal River of Fire (he can nuke a burrito in no time flat, quite handy to have around durng a lunch break).

STYX The goddess of the underworld river of hatred (yeah, we know you don't feel the same, but we love ya anyways).
Sounds Like: We're not mainstream, we're not cutting edge, we're not easy to stick into some mass produced category. How can I describe it...It's something less frightening than the sound of the beating wings of harpies as they come to drag you off to the underworld and inflict their unique brand of punishment on your unlucky, pathetic soul.It's something less beautiful than the sound of the beating wings of angels as they come to carry you to a sweet utopia to live forever in eternal joy and splendor.Perhaps it sounds a lot like the sound a succubus (or incubus) would make as it treats your mortal body to the most intense pleasure ever known while at the same time it sentences your soul to eternal damnation.
Type of Label: None

Betrayed

You lied to me every day. Carefully concealing the truth. You make me think I was important. But it was all a carefully crafted ruse. You tell me how much I mean to you, But as what, a plaything, a h...
