Summon: How did the band get started?
David: The band got started in early February 2001, by Myself (David Arredondo) and Guitarist, Joe De Leon, we wanted to make a band that was different at that time in the local metal scene, and we incorporated all types of styles into our music at first, thrash, speed, grind-core, and last but not least Death Metal…that style of music we created back then early on was different and we proceed to push it out there and let the people hear it and to our surprise, I guess you can say..the response was great. We manage to capture a different sound early on.
Summon: What kind of music do you play?
David: We are foremost a Death Metal Band, we always have been and always will be…Our style does have many different changes and has the old style of metal…but we always strive to be original.
