Q: Where is Aversion To Life from?
A: We Are based out of Dallas, Texas

Q: How long has Aversion To Life been together?
A: I think we started writing in June, 2005

Q: How did Aversion To Life get started?
A: Well, Emmitt Gillaspy (former Sintury) and Robert (former Devourment, Vitality) we’re putting some songs together when they had time.

Once they realized that the music was pretty bad ass, they started seeking a drummer.

That’s where I come in.

I had just quit my previous band (Withered Dreams) and had my drums set up at a U-Haul storage place. I found Emmitt online and got together with him and we started jammin. After I got situated with the band, it became serious and we started writing for an album and live shows.

Witchery – Don’t Fear The Reaper

Posted on June 9, 2006 by Metalpedia

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: » 5 out of 5 Evil Faces

Witchery - Don't Fear The Reaper

Okay so we all know that Witchery kicks ass, or at least I do. Though maybe you disagree with that and think they are typical? I have read alot of people do. I on the other hand disagree with the typical opinion. I personally think of Witchery as a very non-typical band.

Firstly they actually know how to play their instruments (sure, there are alot of other metal bands that also know how to play) but there are also a fair share of those who could use another lesson or two. :P

Plus the sense of humor expressed within their lyrics, artwork and such. Like an old classic horror movie would make you laugh. I get the same vibe from Witchery. Maybe they did not intend for it to be this way, and my twisted sense of humor just leads me to believe that titles such as “Dead, Hot and Ready” are meant to have a semi comical theme. ;)

Imprecation

Posted on June 9, 2006 by Metalpedia

Biography

Imprecation was a Texas based Death/Black metal band from the early 90′s.

They have since broken up and as far as I know only released one CD. Which is a conglomeration of their various demos.

Rough raw metal done the way it was meant to be done. Highly satanic lyrics, not for the faint of heart. (to say the least) If you are a fan of slow doomy, sludgy old school death metal with some keyboards thrown in for the fun of it, than be sure to check this band out.

Guitarist Wes Weaver alo went on to play with the band Infernal Dominion, though they also have since broken up!

Wes has started a new band entitled Blaspherian. Be sure to check them out!!!

Biography

Bongzilla might be the most obvious of stoner rock/metal bands. I think the band name says it all. ;)

They have a definite Sabbath sound, though as with all bands, they incorporate their own style into the mix as well. Very sludgy, almost doomy at times, some cool samples mixed in here and there to make it one of my favorite stoner rock bands!

Plus it can’t be beat when you want to kick your feet up and relax. :P
