Audkik was formed in 2000 in Oklahoma by vocalist Jeremy Hall. There, Audkik spent 3 years cultivating a style that was both original and provocative. The band played countless shows throughout the mid-west performing at an array of functions alongside such bands as American Head Charge, Drowning Pool and Morbid Angel, allowing them to develop a sound that was bound for national recognition.
As their fan base, dedication and commitment to music grew,Audkik decided to relocate to Southern California. In 2003, looking to improve on it's success, it became apparent that Audkik needed a new line-up to better enhance and compliment their music. Injecting new talent and vision into an already successful band, Audkik's future had been launched. Before filling one of the guitarist slots in the band, San Diego local Kevin Garcia joined Audkik as the bassist.
Five months later, Jeremy and Kevin heard about a guitarist by the name of Jeremy Hinskton and a bass player, Rich Warren, who both relocated to southern California from Washington D.C. looking to expand their own musical talent. Audkik decided to audition Jeremy and Rich.
This allowed Kevin to make the switch from bass to guitar where he excelled just as much as he did on bass.
Things fell into place instantly, and they began to round out the group.
In 2005, Audkik started to refine thier sound with numerous shows throughout Southern California and Arizona opening for such bands as Bleed The Sky, Stemm, Dry Kill Logic, Exodus and Prong. In 2006, Steve Baca, A native of New Mexico, soon entered the group with percussion talent that could only put the finishing touches on an already gifted and eclectic band. As a result, Audkik's talent, originality and energy, as well as it's brand of aggressive, hard-hitting metal has separated the band from all the rest.In 2007,Audkik's music will push the Southern California limits on a national scale.

ASHENT was formed in 2001 by two brothers, Onofrio and Gianpaolo Falanga who play guitar and bass respectively, along with keyboard player Paolo Torresani, drummer J.C., singer Max Zhena and guitarist Thomas Giro rounded out the group.
ASHENT worked extensively for the next 2 years, developing a personal style which synthesized a fresh blend of progressive metal with modern day thrashdeath that has become popular in recent years. Their music features huge riffs, characterized by aggression and various tempo changes. The themes developed in the lyrics reveal personal reflections of the bands views on the human condition and future of mankind.
ASHENTS vision was brought to fruition on the four tracks of their first demo CD that bears their name. The CD, which they produced themselves, was recorded during February of 2003 at the famous New Sin Studio where veteran engineer/producer Luigi Stefanini supervised the recording and mastering.
The band received rave review. The critics gave the CD fantastic reception and praise: "Ashent" was named demo of the month and was awarded excellent ratings by dozens of magazines and webzines throughout Italy and the rest of Europe.
During an intense period of writing and performing live shows, ASHENT completed the rest of the songs for their debut album but they where plagued by many line-up changes that slowed down their progress. In autumn of 2003 J.C. left the band for personal reasons and was quickly replaced by drummer Davide Buso. Not long after Max Zhena and Thomas followed suite at the end of 2004.
After an extensive search ASHENT found guitar player Cristiano Bergamo and American singer Steve Braun. With their newfound additions ASHENT finally found the right chemistry they had been searching for. Within a few months of rehearsals ASHENT signed a contract with veteran Italian label, Lucretia Records International.
In December of 2005 the band went to Rome to record the drums at Outer Sound Studio, under the supervision of Giuseppe Orlando & Massimiliano Pagliuso of the band Novembre. The remainder of ASHENT`S first official album "FLAWS OF ELATION" was recorded at New Sin Studio in February of 2006 and was mixed and mastered by Luigi Stefanini.
This album is an original mixture of aggressive metal and refined prog that will be released upon the world on November, 2006.

The industrial boat yard of Half Moon Bay, California is the ideal place for The Dust to tear apart their practice space.
Growing up in a small fishing town on a steady diet of metal and punk is what Matt Allen (bass), Josh Jasperson (guitar), your name here(drums), and Brian Overfelt (vocals) have in common.
Beginning in 1997, three of the four members of The Dust started a project where they played many shows. Within a year of performing, they opened for Incubus at the Cocodrie and Papa Roach at the Maritime Hall.
Eventhough the project ended, the friendships never did-- thus the possibility of a future band. A few years later, a new band emerged. With the recruitment of a new drummer, The Dust was born. They took the stage for the first time in May of 2003. The Dust has released a three-song demo.
The sound is heavy while remaining dynamic.
When you stand in front of their stage, you are struck by one thought: These guys are tight. With strong personal lyrics and catchy riffs, The Dust strives to entertain and inspire all who listen.
