The first recordings of the band were 4 songs done in October the same year and together with 2 more tracks recorded in December '93 the band shorthly thereafter released their first demo; "Between the devil and the deep blue sea".

Totimoshi was formed in Oakland, CA by singer/guitarist Tony Aguilar and bassist Meg Castellanos in November 1997. After a slew of 6 drummers-some lasting longer than others, Luke Herbst joined the band in Febuary 2005.
http://www.myspace.com/thebronzechariot Bronze Chariot came together in the early months of 2008 settling on the line up of Garrett Cooper, Scott Williams, Benjamin Cooper and Michael Elijah. The list of former bands was long and included; This City Dynamite!!!, Artax Mission, Donkey Kong, Sun, The New Mutiny, Eyes Like Black Stars, Egypt and more. Early sessions could be described as monstrous jam gatherings inspired by the decades of stoner rock and doom noise we were delving into at the time.
There are at least ten artists with this name: 1) A Hungarian Black Metal band. This band described their own music style in the album Deathgate as True Carpathian Black Metal. The first release was 'Fight Of The Soul' in 1995. Lyrical themes are misanthropy, hatred, depths of human soul and satanism. Dusk dissociate the band from the clownish / funny / trendy hungarian "Black" Metal scene with the TCBM Circle (True Carpathian Black Metal circle). Releases: 1995 - Fight Of The Soul 'demo
1998 - Recognizing Ourselves 'demo (unreleased)

ASG is a small band with a sound that’s big in so many ways. The trio formed following the break-up of local Wrigthsville Beach punk band the Urethra Franklins when Andy Ellis (bass) and Scott Key (drums) teamed up with guitarist Jason Shi. Together they created a perfect fusion of punk and metal. “If we had to classify it… we’d just say we play loud..” raves guitarist Jason Shi commenting on their punk, metal and classic rock n’ roll sound. “We’re definitely not emo”. And all who have seen them live would surely agree to that.
Tearing through the speakers like a swamp monster summoned from some dark cosmic morass, Texas riffmasters Wo Fat unapologetically blast out a southern fried, blues-infused version of Psychedelic Doom, conjuring up visions of hoodoo shacks, prowling undead, hell hounds at the crossroads, Lovecraftian cultists and ghouls, and worlds beyond where the riff reigns almighty. Wo Fat rose from the deep and began their psyche-doom-adelic quest circa 2003 when guitarist Kent Stump formed the band with drummer Michael Walter and bassist Tim Wilson.
Mother Eel is a metal five piece, that was a four piece, and that formed, firstly, as a three piece in 2003 in the Cold, Dark and Evil, Blue Mountains Australia. The sound has been described as one being gang raped by clowns on smack. They have been well received by audiences with mixed musical tastes, and are praised and otherwise for their crushingly oppressive live performances. Mother Eel are, in a way, attached to Grindhead Records.
The voice that leads And We Wept the Black Ocean Within is now dead. No, tragedy hasn't struck since the album was recorded. The debut release from Brooklyn, NY trio A Storm of Light is anything but posthumous. However, within its murky, suffocating depths there lies little certainty about the origin and veracity of the words bellowed by guitarist Josh Graham (also Neurosis visual director, Blood and Time, Battle of Mice and formerly of Red Sparowes) as mouthpiece of the album's protagonist.
Heaven and Hell is a music collaboration featuring current Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler along with former members Ronnie James Dio and Vinny Appice. Founding member Iommi decided to name the group Heaven and Hell as the original lineup of Black Sabbath (featuring Butler, Iommi, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne) is still active but on hiatus. Ward was originally part of the Heaven and Hell line-up, but it was announced on the fan-run Black Sabbath website that he was standing aside for Appice.
