Understated

"...Their music is raw and modern; the lyrics are highly relevant;
sure to inspire positive change in anyone who cares to listen.
The songs deal with everything from perseverance in the face of resistance,
to scars caused by sexual abuse. The songs are often pessimistic and optimistic
at the same time. The concept being that; on one side of life there is pain,
but on the other side there’s healing. Scars may remain,
but they need not control our lives..." Musical influences: Rage Against the Machine, Project 86, dc talk, Sevendust,

Klogr

Band Members:
Rusty - Vox & Guitars
Nicola Briganti - Guitars
Todd Allen- Bass
Filippo De Pietri - Drums The debut album, 'Till You Decay', can be described as a meeting point for alternative rock and alternative metal, where the somber and dark sounds blend together a rush of anger and resentment while still leaving room for melody and reaction.
A journey through what the eyes can see but the mind can not filter.
A journey through what a man can feel but can not accept.
The awareness of not being truly free but subject to the "emotional rules" imposed upon us.
