Death metal and technical grind have an interesting way of co-existing. While each genre shares characteristics with the other it would seem that many bands would rather stay narrow in scope and keep the two as oil and water. However some outstanding young acts in the last few years have managed to rejuvenate the underground by encompassing more of extreme metal’s tangents and delivering some very impacting and fresh ideas into a seemingly over-cooked stew. Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, Leng Tch’e and others have thrown all caution (and rules) into the wind and are re-defining the death and grind genres with vibrant ideas and unrelenting delivery. Oakland’s ALL SHALL PERISH are cut from that same jib; delivering brutal music that possesses a natural need to experiment and push the boundaries of the extreme underground. Their second offering, The Price Of Existence, will turn the death metal and underground hordes on their collective ear, and when all is said and done the band is sure to be touted as one of the best young extreme acts from the West Coast in this new millennium. <br><br> Finding common ground with a taste for such bands as Dying Fetus, Opeth, Cannibal Corpse, Hatebreed, Blood Has Been Shed and At The Gates, ALL SHALL PERISH formed with the intent of not being labeled with the restricting monikers of "death metal", "hardcore" or "metalcore", rather they simply wanted to brutalize audiences and get people moving. The band's 2005 Nuclear Blast debut Hate, Malice, Revenge proved that they were capable of blending various styles while delivering memorable and intelligent songs to all fans of metal and hardcore. Their live show brought the band's vicious attack from coast to coast with such known acts like Six Feet Under, Agnostic Front, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through, Brujeria, Dying Fetus, Diecast and Hate Eternal, and before anyone knew it ALL SHALL PERISH had racked up almost 10,000 units via Soundscan. <br><br> Change is inevitable, and when you’re 100% committed to your art it’s imperative that only the best people be involved. ASP took the necessary steps to outfit themselves with the best line-up available for The Price Of Existence. New vocalist Hernan “Eddie” Hermida’s delivery adds more depth and clarity to the band's overall impact, while the technical skills of guitarist Ben Orum and new axesmith Chris Storey are as top-notch as those of the most seasoned players in underground metal (“Prisoner Of War” and “There Is No Business To Be Done On A Dead Planet” are perfect examples). Powerhouse drummer Matt Kuykendall gives a heart stopping performance, immediately ranking him just under such elite players as Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy) and Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal). Tracks like "Eradication", “We Hold These Truths” and the ever-so-catchy “Wage Slaves” are brutal and would knock a gorilla on its backside, while “The Last Relapse” and the moody instrumental “Interlude” show a melodic side to the band which proves that ALL SHALL PERISH have forged ahead light years and have delivered a regal metal gem. The Price Of Existence is demanding indeed! <br><br>

Since 1997 LOT has covered Europe and the rest of the world (USA, Iceland, Canada) supporting bands such as All Out War, Cold As Life, Biohazard and Morning Again, as well as played numerous festivals like Pukkelpop (B), Evilfest (UK), European HC Party (NL), Hellfest-Syracuse (USA), Superbowl of HC (F) and Goodlife Summer Fest (B).

On their first 3 albums their vision of the world is depicted as a dark and pessimistic universe, their ideas and lyrics clashing with the usual clich..s and dreamers of the hardcore scene.

Length Of Time’s music is full of true background metal influences, allying with the sounds and the heavy weights of heavy metal, who are without mention Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains and other geniuses with obscure tendencies.

For 2003 Length Of Time puts their stamp on a style, which marks the end of a quiet year, spent preparing and recording their latest album "ANTIWORLD", which contains 10 tracks, exploring different themes, may it be utopia (rock 'n' roll, attitude, showbusiness,...) or devastation (globalization, war, society,...), embracing each human being.

"ANTIWORLD" stands for a symbol, well adjusted to our era, which we are free to define ourselves. The mixing and production was assigned to Andr.. Gielen (Channel Z..ro, Deviate, Asphyxia,...) and Philippe Renotte, who have captured the strength and freshness of LOT, available to them on one single, unique album "ANTIWORLD".

While the band was on the road with Suicidal Tendencies, Madball, Ignite and more, as part of the 2003 Eastpack Resistance Tour, "Antiworld" got released on Roadrunner Records in France.

After being 2 years and a half on hiatus, the band has taken the way back to the stages...

Bloodshot specialises in a metal influenced style of hardcore and saw the light in 1999. From day one they started composing their own songs, resulting in a DEMO CD (Carnal assault upon a godless world), focussing on the acts of serial killer Andrei Chikatilo and which was getting very positive reactions and allowed the band to play lots of shows!

From there on, ambitions were growing and a first full CD (A pestilence called humanity, dealing with the horrors of mass murderer David Berkowitz) was released in 2002 on Cartel records from Finland (www.cartelenterprises.com)! Again reactions were outstanding and concerts even increased in number! This time also playing on some bigger festivals (Dourfestival, Streetlive festival, Maximum hardcore festival, Akkerpop,…), allowing us to share the stage with wellknown hardcore and metal acts such as: Six Feet Under, Born From Pain, Angelcrew, Backfire, Gojira, Stamping Ground, Maximum Penalty, Fleshcrawl, Irate, Arkangel, Buzzcocks, Length Of Time, Deviate, Kickback, Settle The Score, Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban,…!

After 2 years of intensive live playing, hundreds of shows, Bloodshot decides to take a little break and starts composing songs for their second full CD which is recorded March 2005 at the CCR studio’s and which is intensively mixed in july and mastered by Alan Douches from West west side music (Hatebreed, God Forbid, Unearth, Sick of it all, Sepultura, Sworn Enemy,…). The CD contains 9 brand new, furious tracks: more agressive and powerful than before! Lyrics remaining influenced by yet another serial killer! This time: Jeffrey Dahmer. Entitled: Ultimate Hatred! The album is released by the Italian label: Scarlet records and is again received very well, increasing their live shows, allowing them to share the stage with bands as: Sworn Enemy, 100 Demons, Death Threat, Wisdom in Chains, Six ft Ditch, Clobberin Time, Bulldoze, 108, Knuckledust, Blacklisted, King Of Clubz, CDC, Cataract, 25 ta life and deadsoil… and this time resulting in a three weeks European tour together with Agents of Man (USA).

The band decides to work with ‘Trigger agency’, a well known booking agency which handles from now on their shows in the Benelux. The band also works with Belgian booking agency ‘Brimstone Tourbooking’ allowing them to play even more shows.

Anno 2007 the band is working hard on a new full CD which will be released again by Scarlet records and which will be entitled: ‘Murder the world’, again dealing with the acts of a serial killer; this time: Richard Ramirez! And a split CD will follow together with the Polish hardcore masters: ‘No Heaven Awaits Us’ on Shing records.

The band is ready to take their ambitions to the next level, playing and touring as much as possible, promoting the new CD’s in the most professional way, spreading the BLOODSHOT madness on crowds allover the world!!

The End Of All Reason is a non-stop evolving machine that combines extreme melodic riffing with elements of classic deathmetal and hardcore and turns it into a progressive mixture of styles. In an era where metal and hardcore bands are overpopulated, TEOAR has made it their number one priority to stand out.

When the band rose to its feet back in '04 their music was allready heavily influenced by swedish metal, but now, three years later, this band has got so much more to offer. With blistering live performances and a brand new EP on the way, they are eager to prove their evergrowing skills. Right now, the myspace contains an older song called 'Does a peacock need all those feathers?' which was recorded some time ago.
