St Louis metal band Through the Scope have quickly risen to noteriety with their punishing riffs and dynamic live show that leaves audiences buzzing and anxious for more. Following their successful run with 105.7 the Point's Battle for Pointfest, Through the Scope recieved an overwhelming demand for an album and have responded accordingly. "Center Mass" the band's debut album is currently in production and is slated to be released by Fall 2015.  
The band formed in early 2014 when guitarist Jake Young and bass player Chris Keenan decided to try their hand at writing high energy fast paced metal with the goal of bringing heavier music back out of the underground. The two immediately knew from prior experiences that Alex Estes' hard hitting and almost machine-like drumming were key elements that would help complete the sound that would be Through the Scope. "The first time we ever played these songs with Alex, we crammed into this little room in his basement just to see what would happen, and right off the bat he knew exactly what he wanted to play" recalls Jake, "He had never heard the songs before, but it sounded like we had been playing them together for years." In Fall of 2014 the trio brought the soulful yet aggressive melodies vocalist Henry Slauson into the picture to complete the lineup. 
Through the Scope came running out of the gates full force with explosive performances in the Battle for Pointfest, which led to playing the Pop's stage at St Louis' largest annual rock festival Pointfest, pushing the band into the public eye and showing the region that metal is still very much alive and well. Since then they have been invited to play numerous shows as direct support for national touring acts such as The Devil You Know and have developed an incredibly dedicated following. Trailing the release of "Center Mass", the band will reveal information for their Midwest tour promoting the album and continue bringing metal back to the masses.
