Metal
Santa Cruz

Emerging as a duo in the Summer of 2010 with the musical engineering prowess of Kevin Loftus and the guitar styling's of Dhruva Noel, A Thousand Shall Fall was a metal-based recording group with hopes of gaining a few more members and turning it into the real thing. In late August the duo became a formidable trio with the addition of Daniel Johnston, a highly skilled guitarist previously part of various local bands such as Descending Forth and others. With the addition of Dan A.T.S.F. found a direction for their music and added an important piece to their onslaught. In late 2010 Jesse Williams joined on vocals, and in early 2011 Gena Krupa joined the band to finalize the A.T.S.F. lineup. Currently in the process of composing, booking, and recording the band's sound is strongly melodic while simultaneously staying true to the heavy hitting rhythms they've all grown fond of. Keep your eyes and ears open for some upcoming tracks on Myspace other sites and look out for A Thousand Shall Fall coming to a city near you in 2012.

A product of old friends and former band mates jumping back in the ring together for another round. Felix and Cory from DRY HEAVERS have joined up with Eddy and Rory from CHANCES ARE to form JUST BREATHE! The history behind this group of guys goes much further than these bands, all the way back to kick starting a punk scene where there was none in a small farm town as 13 year old 8th grade punk rockers in King City California... but at the end of the day, who cares! JUST BREATHE is here... deal with it!

*FREE METAL SHOW* BlackQueen, Deconstruct, A Thousand Shall Fall, Above The Storm, & Gorphyryac @ The Blue Lagoon Wednesday 5/16/12


Witch Metal
Seattle, WA / San Francisco, CA

blackQueen started in 1998 in San Francisco out of the need to practice ritual magick via soundtrack horror metal, with stage antics and costumes that were ominously dark, yet sometimes bordered on the ridiculous and preposterous. Utilizing live ritual, pyrotechniques, and subversive promotional tactics, blackQueen soon became known as a powerful and obscure musical entity, in the SF metal scene, and also to the average listener, and performance art fan.
Thier first effort and demo, 'Witch Metal' was recorded on 4 track and represented the bands willingness to be completely DIY, yet also to distance themselves from hardcore and black metal, by never venturing too far into either influence, yet remaining as a soundtrack to an end to the world of man thru the underground powers of esoteric witchcraft.
The second release. 'the Antropocalypse' was recorded at Lucky Cat Studios by Kurt Schlegel, and was the first metal record to ever use oceanic terrestrial intelligence as its subject matter.

Good Times did a little blurb on our upcoming show.



A Thousand Shall Fall


Nothing strengthens the bond of a community better than an all ages night of metal mania. This weekend’s headliner, A Thousand Shall Fall, is one of the area’s finest, with Jesse (the band prefers to use first names only) on guttural vocals, Dan mashing up the lead guitar, and Gena pounding the living hell out of the drums. For a taste of what to expect, check out the band’s two latest recordings, “The Wretched” and “Nights of Gethsemane,” which race along at a blistering pace. Also featured on Friday’s hardcore bill are a long list of mayhem-inducing metal bands, including Inimical, Absynia, Ecophagy and A City in Arms. | DNA


INFO: 7 p.m. Gene Hoularis and Waldo Rodriguez Youth Center, 30 Maple Ave., Watsonville. $5. All Ages. 768-3294.

Thanks Good Times!
