Always at the forefront with an active role in emerging stylistic nuances Century Media has truly shattered the barriers and exemplified diversity in extremes while remaining rooted in the underground but giving bands opportunities outside of the normal means with major league international touring, commercial radio play, and music placement in high-profile films, TV and commercials. Despite all of the years and breakthroughs the company maintains their organic, family feel and business is still being conducted by fans of the music for fans of the music.

The brainchild of lone independent musician Aaron Cloutier, Davola is an extreme metal assault on the senses while pushing the limits of what can be done creatively in the metal world. 

Brutal, melodic, exotic and all around  Schizophrenic, the music created by Aaron is the product of a man clearly suffering from a musical identity crisis who seemingly refuses to settle on any one specific style.......most likely stemming from a fear of commitment.

With a world of influences thrown in the mix ranging from the fury and intensity of SLAYER, SLIPKNOT and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, to the meticulous polyrhythms and odd time signatures of Sweden's MESHUGGAH, it is difficult at times to confine the music into one genre alone.  

There's is an ethereal melodic element as well with twin guitar harmonies, sparse clean signing and massive chords sandwiched between the more technical and machine gun like riffs a la LAMB OF GOD and FEAR FACTORY.

Toss in a harmonic minor, middle eastern vibe and you've got one confusing style to label.  Is it death metal?  Is it thrash? is it progressive? and what's going on with all the acoustic elements?

Despite what would seem like nothing more than an exercise in musical excess, there is method to the madness.  The chaos is meticulously controlled, subdued and packed into tight, comprehensive heavy as hell anthems that serve to take the listener on a journey.  This is extreme metal from a composer's perspective with attention to song craft and  dare I say.... a pop sensibility. (THERE'S NO POP IN METAL!!!......or is there?)


So judging from all of this you might be left with one question among others....

Who does this guy think he is?  And WHERE does he think he's from?......

Renee Lopez, born August 13, 1980 in Long Island, New York is an American singer-songwriter, composer, producer and the founding vocalist/front-woman for the active American metal/rock band Sever Our Scars, aka S.O.S.  Lopez started her musical journey at a very young age.  Coming from a musically inclined family she was always putting energy into singing, writing and playing various instruments, including the guitar in her younger years.  Since that time, she has worked on a number of musical projects over the years from fronting the rock/metal bands Kaymin and Candelario to other various side projects and collaborative's ranging in genre such as; Eden Lysari, composing for commercial projects within TV/Film, creating material for Scion, Nike, indie horror films, and so forth.  She has also worked alongside other notable acts and musicians on collabs/guest appearances such as Johny Chow (Stone Sour, Fireball Ministry, Cavalera Conspiracy), Jimi Fist (Kicking K8), Karen Karsh, Johnnie Johnson and others, but she is best known for her time spent as the front-woman of the progressive rock/metal outfit; Purge.
Beyond musical endeavors, Renee Lopez is also an entrepreneur and the owner of Lewd & Crude Greetings, a novelty based greeting card & merch line formed in 2007 in San Diego, CA as well as a small jewelry & accessory line called Rebel L.
A long time writer of various editorials, Lopez was asked by Sam Roon (Hung bassist, Sony Music/Roadrunner) to come on board in late 2010 as a writer and weekly columnist for the popular NY based online music, networking/news site & community, SkullsNBones and their sister site; Hear Evil (formerly SexyNBrutal).  After irreconcilable differences led to her departure from the project in 2011, she proceeded to start a new online weekly column on her own in June 2012 appropriately titled “The Rant” which showcased articles covering varied topics from music and life all with the brutally honest edge and sarcastic, humorous tone to which her writing is known.
Also notable throughout the years, Lopez has worked on various Acting and Modeling projects from guest appearances on A&E’s Criss Angel Mindfreak, the CBS TV movie Surrender Dorothy starring Diane Keaton, Full Throttle Saloon on Tru TV, Veronica Mars (WB), Innervision, live television music performances/music videos and countless other appearances/shoots.
