About Me


Oshtemo is A 5 piece metal outfit based out of Kalamazoo Michigan. Coming from different respective influence ranges within the metal genre, this metal titan has thrown out all of the rules when it comes to stereotypical song-writing. With thrashy melodies and pummeling breakdowns the groups latest Demo proves only to be a synopsis of their combined efforts to carve out their own niche in a genre so dull, plagiaristic and dumb-stricken. Simple song structures may be the case in this metallic assault but through infectious loops/bridges and tightly woven harmonies Oshtemo is bound to rise above the narcissistic fashion oriented copycats that plague the ranks of today's metal music. Sick of blatant rip-offs, pain-stakingly slow breakdown after breakdown, and various other forms of un-inspiring cliches of today's metal music? Then enter Oshtemo; Metal music inspired from the roots, not from the genre's flavor-of-the-week.
