Christopher Wilson asked me to find the tracks of this band, in fact, this is all that I managed to find (lol more than I expected), I will not describe here where and what I found, the order of the tracks and everything else I did at my own discretion, since there is really no information when and what was released

The first version of itaw was founded in mid 2002...yes..20fucking02..after line up changes blah blah blah finding out our styles and all that bullshit which took ohh....a year plus, we finally go serious. Anyway I'm not gonna write anything that is gonna talk this band up, we like playing intense music, if you are a fan of brutal, intense, ghey music you might like this...

We are a tech metal band and now that we have finally found our sound and what style we can define ourselves with we can tell everyone that wants to give us shit to go fuck themselves. We write music that we WANT to play, you can compare it to whatever you want. We're not here to rip off anything or try to be something we're not. From the bottom of our hearts thank you for sticking with us as we have grown into our own. If you were here from the beginning or if you are just hearing us, hop on the wagon and watch us as we continue to grow with your help AND we will never feed you any bullshit.

And The Sky Went Red - Compilation of Found Songs (2004-2006)

Metalcore band from USA [Midland, Michigan]
Tracklist: 
01. Heavy Metal Madness (Five Makes Ten) (Demo)
02. Last Summer I Staged A Knife Fight (Demo)
03. Drowning In Despair
04. Promise Breaker
05. Please Be Priortionate And Like To Dance

Tracks 1-2: Saw Her Ghost Records 2004 Sampler (Download from hxcmp3 band page)
Tracks 3-4: Drowning In Despair EP 2004 (Two tracks from this EP not found "A Full Report from All Divisions" & "Empty Sockets Staring")
Tracks 5-7: And The Sky Went Red / Signs Of Collapse Split 2005
Tracks 8-10: Myspace Songs 2005-2006

After reading their news that they published on their website, I managed to find out that their bassist and vocalist were leaving, they also re-recorded their EP, perhaps this can be understood by listening to some tracks, for example, in Last Summer I Staged A Knife Fight you can’t hear the bass, but already in the split on the same tracks it is clearly audible. This is just my observation, if you have material from this band and CDs and are ready to rip, contact me. I created the cover based on the logo that I found on the metal archives,enjoy listening.

Line-up 2003:
Jeremy Hoover- Guitar, Vocals
Jason Johnson- Bass, vocals
Jamie Jahr- Drums
Steve Webster- Guitar

Founded in 2003, this hard working five-piece from Midland, Michigan has carved out a niche of its own through relentless touring, a blue-collar attitude, and an explosive live show parallel to the hardcore veterans who’ve been at it for years.

In an age when genre defying is contrived and trendy, these guys do it naturally. Their sound is weighty and catchy, but always immediate and spontaneous. One part tough, one part Swedish, all parts heavy and driving, they are merciless from beginning to end. With the likeness of an Unearth, A Life Once Lost, or As I Lay Dying, And the Sky Went Red have the distinct ability to change tempos and rhythms at the drop of a hat, or pummel the listener with a never ending breakdown.

With the four song Drowning in Despair ep under their belt, a full length being written, and having completed two East Coast tours, ATSWR are looking to spread their wings even further by continuing to write and tour. Keep your eyes peeled for the band's most powerful and scathing material on their full length - "Beneath The Weight Of Words Unspoken" - due out in late 2004.

Shadows Fall - Mourning A Dead World (Demo/1996)

Melodic Death Metal band from USA [Boston, Massachusetts]
Tracklist: 
01. Lifeless
02. Suffer The Season
03. Fleshold
04. Forever Lost
05. A Souls Salvation
06. Deadworld

Bass – Mark Laliberte
Drums – David Germain
Guitar, Vocals – Jonathan Donais, Matthew Bachand
Vocals – Damien McPherson

Demo tape; recorded in November 1996 at Zing Studios.
Produced by Jim Fogarty.



It all started in 1996 when guitarists Jonathan Donais and Matthew Bachand got together and started writing music as a side project. Soon both realized that the product was exciting and rewarding enough to make their conjunction a full-time unit, and eventually in the summer of '97 an outfit rounded out with bassist Paul Romanko, drummer David Germain and vocalist Phil Lebonte became a powerful force in the New England underground metal scene. Boasting a European-influenced style of aggro-death metal, SHADOWS FALL (the name comes from an short underground comic series published by Vertigo/DC in the early '90s) became very visible opening throughout the northeast for the likes of Fear Factory, Cannibal Corpse, Staind, Hatebreed and many other world-renowned acts. The band entered Zing Studio to record their self-financed debut album, Somber Eyes To The Sky, in late 1997, and the band name began to spread rapidly throughout the US. Although the band released the album in the States by themselves, good independent promotion landed Somber Eyes... in the CMJ Loud Rock Top 10 Chart (the highest charting album from an unsigned band in the trade magazine's history), and Genet Records in Belgium licensed the album to the European territories immediately (since then the album has been through two pressings on CD and vinyl in Europe and has sold 11,000 units between both continents). What set SHADOWS FALL immediately apart from other bands was that they excelled and were accepted in the metal, hardcore and noise scenes, which is reflected by the numerous and different styles of bands that they regularly share the stage with.

Bleed the Sky - Self-Titled (Demo/2004)

Melodic Metalcore band from USA [Orange County, CA]
Tracklist: 
01. Killtank
02. Leverage
03. From Shotguns to Halos
04. Through the Dirt

Metal is evolving as we speak. Hailing from the musical breeding grounds of Orange County, CA, Bleed the Sky are six guys with one common goal: to create a new respect for metal through lyrical depth, tangibility, and musicianship that has integrity. Formed in 2003, Bleed the Sky have already been cited in Spin Magazine as one of the 50 up-and-coming bands across the country, and have earned a reputation as a band who will make their own mark in the industry through hard work and a dedication to create a new connotation for metal.

            February 3, 2003 would mark the beginning of a very prolific journey. As the opening act for the acclaimed Opeth, they achieved a positive response to their torrent of metal riffs and distinctive melody. At the end of the month, they would be recording their first demo, and, by March 23 rd , were headlining at the legendary Whisky A-Go-Go in Hollywood, CA. That same month, "track 2" on the first aforementioned demo caught the attention of Emerica Skateboarding personnel, and was subsequently featured on the much-anticipated video "This is Skateboarding" (released in over 20 countries world wide). August of 03' would also prove to be a lucrative month, as Bleed the Sky were given the opportunity to complete a West Coast Tour with (hardcore legends) Integrity, and would return home to play a sold-out show, again at the Whisky, with My Ruin (Century Media).

            All of this hard work did not go unnoticed, and was impressive enough to catch the attention of producer Ben Schigel (Chimaira, Integrity, Drowning Pool). From November-December, they worked with him at Spyder Studios in Strongsville, Ohio to create an EP. Shortly afterwards, in January 2004, their song "Killtank" was featured on a Concrete Planet compilation with Incubus, Deftones and Lost Prophets. "Killtank" proved to popular, as that, along with "Leverage" were featured on radio stations nationwide in February 2004. From the beginning of March to the middle of April, they embarked on yet another tour; this time, however, it would be a Coast-to-Coast Tour, and it was they who would be headlining. This tour would prove to be extremely successful, and, within three months of release, over 1,200 EP's were sold across the country.

            With a clear vision of long-term goals uninhibited by public opinion, Bleed the Sky are claiming their place in the industry by expelling the initial interpretation of metal with an unprecedented audacity that instead creates a personal, and empathetic relationship with each listener. Combined with a drive to achieve and a dedication to consistency that is evaded by most, Bleed the Sky are well on their way to ravaging the status quo.

Innerstrength Records is pleased to announce the addition of The Storm.  The Storm recently completed work on their debut full length "Relentless" and it features 12 tracks.  Artwork is currently underway and being handled by Derek Hess (In Flames, Shai Hulud).  For a little over 3 years now Pennslyvania based metalcore outfit The Storm has endured many obstacles and have replaced 4/5 of the original lineup, but somehow always find a way to stand back up and move forward.  With their strongest lineup so far they have been setting out on the road as often as they can.  In the past year alone this band has toured up and down the east coast four times and now with the release of their debut full length cd, aptly titled "Relentless", through Innerstrength
Records this fall they already have 2 full US tours planned out and for the first time are taking their melee to the West Coast. With 12 merciless tracks, this CD shoud be finding a home with any fan of Bury Your Dead, Remembering Never, and Full Blown Chaos.  These guys obviously took their time and crafted something a little new, but based on the old model of metal influenced hardcore...solos, breakdowns, gang vocals and a few other surprises thrown in there to catch you off guard.  "Relentless" is a very hard hitting CD.  For more info and tracks off their upcoming album "Relentless" visit them at their myspace page

Bellville , Ohio may not sound like a town that has very much to offer; but one thing is for sure, Bellville knows its metal. In a town where dragon hunting, wizardry, and Viking raids are common place, a band like Wreck of the Hesperus forming there is simply inevitable. Drawing influence from such bands as Iron Maiden, Dio, At the Gates, Slayer, and Le Tigre, Wreck of the Hesperus have a modern, thrashy sound that has come to be called "Ohioan metal". Shredding the stage since 2002, along side bands like From a Second Story Window and Fall River; Wreck of the Hesperus look to make a dent in the metal world, as well as some skulls along the way.

Bury Them All - Let The Braves Rise (EP/2008)

Metalcore band from Belgium [Liège]
Tracklist: 
01. Let The Braves Rise
02. Sacrifice
03. Children Perish In Flames

Bury Them All originated in February 2007 when Emeric Jandrin (drums) and Claude Englebert (bass) decided to put together a band that wanted to be resolutely metalcore. Strengthened by their common musical experience (they had previously played together in Kooks) Claude and Emeric immediately lay a very solid foundation stone as this rhythm section presents itself as being in perfect musical and relational harmony. They will be quickly joined by Arnaud Frederix who, after playing the role of singer in Disruption, wanted to focus exclusively on his activity as a guitarist. In search of a second guitarist, Bury Them All regularly consults the advertisements and ends up falling on Olivier Malderez who was, at the time, orphan of any musical training. Oli (ex-Redrum4, Darkfields,…) would bring more than ten years of experience to the band, allowing Bury Them All to really take off. The rehearsals then follow and the first songs begin to emerge, all in an essentially metalcore style tinged with various influences from thrash and hardcore as well as death. The need to find a singer will quickly arise in order to bring the final touch to several already well-finished compositions and it is therefore with this in mind that David Noppe (ex-Akilis Tendon) joins the group. A few months later, after having given a handful of concerts, Bury Them All decides to separate from David whose type of voice does not fully suit the desired style. The group will quickly find David's replacement in the person of Niko Weykmans (ex-Divine Tornment). For a year, the five people from Liège will chain concerts at a phenomenal speed and record their first demo entitled "Let The Braves Rise". This first effort is composed of three titles (Let The Braves Rise, Sacrifice and Children Perish In Flames) and presents itself as the result of a mixture of multiple influences but is characterized above all by the execution of its own style situated somewhere share between metal and hardcore. Bury Them All underwent their last line-up change in September 2008 when Niko left the band. Different dates are still scheduled, the obligation to quickly find a new singer. It is Nico "Lapin" Piron (Excavated) who will initially take over the interim before accepting the position permanently. After having given more than 30 concerts in one year, with in particular remarkable passages at the Ougr 'rock festival, at the MJ of Rixensart or at the CCJC of Chénée, Bury Them All is today in a whole new dynamic and is preparing to record a second demo, the release of which is planned for the beginning of 2009, in order to then once again launch an assault on the various cinemas in the country but also beyond our borders.

You may remember some of us from our older projects:

Eternal Lord, The Argent Dawn (James)
The Scarlet Hourglass (Greg & Gavin)
Kilian's Red (Dan)
Buried Beneath (Joel)

Morbid Remains Formed in August of 2006 with a slightly different lineup as it is now, James and Greg were both on vocals giving their local scene something it hadn't seen much of in the past, Morbid Remains grew more popular among local people and grew a large enough fan base to win numorous battle of the bands and to have the crowd giving back as much energy as we gave out.

We recorded our first EP at studio 6 in Swindon manned by Eternal Lord drummer Stu McKay.. the EP is still available today for £3 at shows!

Sadly due to James leaving to join the band Eternal Lord, Morbid Remains disbanded. However in mid 2007 James returned and Morbid Remains have been winning back the fans and beyond!

After a few more line up changes Morbid Remains are finally ready to take on the UK by storm... armed with experienced, tight players and heavy yet melodic music.

Between the band members we've played and toured with bands such as The Devil Sold His Soul, All That Remains, Misery Signals , Textures , Eternal Lord, Anterior, Head-On, 3 Inches Of Blood, Ted Maul, The Argent Dawn, Annotations Of An Autopsy and many more bands from across the world!

Currentlly, Morbid Remains are writing for their debut album which is planned to be recorded with Dan Turner late this year or early next year. once 2008 starts expect the gigs to be plenty and the pits a many!!
