Formed under the deadly heat of the Arizona sun in 2007, Hemoptysis has perfected a unique and pure metal sound, distilling old–school thrash, modern death metal and other global influences. This melding of styles can best be evidenced on their EP “Who Needs A Shepherd?” in such tracks as “And The World Dies” & “Shadow of Death.”
Guitarist/vocalist Masaki Murashita, drummer Travis Thune, bassist Sunao Arai and lead guitarist Jack Fliegler have not just rooted themselves in the classic styles of metal; Hemoptysis brings the future of metal.
