[Fractured Transmitter Recording Co. -- Cleveland, OH]


	Well honey, I'm glad you asked. You see, when a mommy and a daddy love each other, they show their affection in a loving union called sex. The daddy puts his penis in the mommy's vagina and his penis releases semen, which swim through the mommy's love canal in their search for mommy's egg. Once the semen reaches the egg they penetrate the hell out of it and get inside to make a baby. This is called conception. The conception of the Alter Boys isn't quite as exciting as this, and involves Blackie Lawless, which is just as gross... More


	Originally known as The Plan, American Werewolves were formed in 1998 by crooner Trevor Moment and by 2003 a permanent lineup was found in Nate 68 on drums, Tony Scambony on bass and Brendan Less on guitars. Much like their namesake, American Werewolves shape-shift from timeless 50's doo-wop to violent, blood-curdling punk. Their sound is built upon the DIY punk foundation set by early punk bands like The Damned and The Misfits with hints of Frankie Lymon for good measure... More


	Refusing the worn out formulas of current mainstream trends in favor of making the most genuine music possible is no easy task in today's often-fabricated recording industry. Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, Asleep is a band with respect and admiration for the musical innovators preceding them and for the character-shaping shell of a city that they refuse to deny their music belongs to. Striving for a distinguishing identity felt to be sorely missing in modern-day everything their writing process focuses on dynamic peaks and valleys, which are intended to underlie the often crestfallen yet epic feeling captured throughout their music...

	Formed in Cleveland, OH in 1995, Disengage has been creating social political music while balancing on the tightrope between rock/hardcore/punk. With poetic lyrics and strong song structure, they manage to bring out the beauty, disgust, joy and pain that is our society. With their latest release, Application for an Afterlife, they've brought together a collection of songs that speak with relevance, purity and truth; but most of all, they flat out rock... More


	Integrity was formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1988. Fusing a metallic sound, dark imagery and ferocious lyrics with hardcore, the band unwittingly defined a style of music now known as "metalcore". Originaly crucified for their blatant disregard of the codified confines of hardcore and its narrow minded complacency, it is only now, 17 years later that those very same people can look back and acknowledge the band's genius and innovation. Integrity is a band that refused to give up and never gave in... More


	You all remember who Jeff Walker used to be; the quick-witted, sardonic bassist/vocalist who helped bring British grindcore/death metal legends Carcass to life in the late '80s. But those days are ancient history now. Today, he's the quick-witted, sardonic bassist/vocalist who has helped breathe new life into eleven American country/folk/rock classics on his debut solo album, Welcome to Carcass Cuntry. OK, so maybe it's not a traditional "solo" album... More


	From the moment they crashed into the metal underground in 1991 with the unrelenting, industrial-tinged Contradictions Collapse, Swedish iconoclasts Meshuggah have been unearthing new ways to demolish existing musical standards. But when you've already turned math metal on its head with impossible tempos, rapid-fire rhythmic shifts, and you've already pushed the parameters of extreme sound with eight-string guitars and vocal techniques that would cause most singers to choke on their tongues, it's sometimes difficult to chart a new course...

	After 11 years on the road with Mushroomhead, Jason Popson, who was known as "J. Mann" back then, made some friends in metal places. He split from Cleveland's reigning rock kings in 2004, and his new group, Pitch Black Forecast, marks a return to the spotlight. And he's backed by A list guests from all over the metal world. "I always wanted a record of everything I liked about metal,"... More
