Xashez is a Wicked Fuckin Hardcore band that formed in the High Desert city of Hesperia, CA, during the summer of 2007.  Since then, the group has undergone countless line-up changes, evolving its remaining members into universal musicians in order to temporarily fill in the gaps. 

The official line-up currently consists of Erric Zhade on Vocals, and Justin Mercury on lead guitar. Together, the two write, record, and self-produce on all of the other supporting instruments. Xashez has recently started recording in a professional facility out of Santa Monica, CA, working hard to give their first full length Nightmare Factory (released September 2010) the professional treatment it deserves. Now hailing out of Crestline, CA, armed with great songs, and even cooler hair, Xashez is gearing up to take over all of Southern California, and then the world; in support of their re-released record Xashez: Nightmare Factory, expected March 2013 on their Self Owned Label, Under Lock-N-Key Records.

GraVil are a melodic thrash metal/death metal band formed in 2007 by musically open minded friends whom envisioned writing music completely unpolluted by the outside world. A band that wrote music for their own personal pleasure, influenced by “Penderecki”, “Metallica”, “Megadeth”, “At The Gates”, “Carcass”, “Children Of Bodom”, “Amorphis” and their own wholly original take on metal. Chris Rogers of Metalmayhem webzine described their sound -

“There are so many different styles on here ranging from Melodic Death and Thrash, to Hardcore and Metalcore and yet they still manage to put their own stamp on things and inject originality throughout.”



The 2007 beginnings of GraVil caught the band unaware of the reaction their music would meet, and this was to be the start. This tremendous feedback saw GraVil starting work on an online presence, beginning with Myspace, to share their music with the world, and they were to be received with open arms. 2008 saw the “Something Worth Chasing EP” independently released. It sold out 2 production runs, and unable to keep up with demand, the band pressed samplers as opposed to finished cd's, and gave these away free, worldwide. The title track would accumulate airplay on a substantial amount of radio stations all over the globe. This was just the beginning.



The band spent the next 6 months writing a second EP, “The Age Of Corruption” with production duties handled by Dan Abela (Sarah Jezebel Deva, Voices). The results were humbling. The EP counted amongst its fans and admirers Kerrang!, Rock Sound, and Terrorizer (Who would also give the band a “Choice Cuts” feature) . The title track would also be play listed by many radio stations and opening track “Helmsman” enjoyed many worldwide radio appearances, including Ian Camfield’s XFM Rock Show.



On the back of such great press, Universal signed up the distribution for the 5 track EP and it quickly populated all the major digital download sites worldwide and was placed on HMV's rock/metal home page.

The single 'March Of The Titans' featuring James McIlroy (Cradle Of Filth/Chaosanct) was released on 24th January 2010. The video was play listed by Scuzz TV and the track itself received airplay on many international radio stations including Bruce Dickinson’s radio 6 rock show.

In 2012 GraVil headed back in to Escape Route Studios with Dan Abela to give the full length album the well deserved sound it needed. 

GraVil are now a very active 5 piece with Grant Stacey heading up the vocals, Tony Dando and Andy Slade taking up guitar duties, Nathan ‘Sparx’ Lamb on bass and Conor Harkness on drums. The quintuplet have performed for Terrorizer Grindhouse supporting symphonic black metallers “Saturnian”, for Unified Sounds supporting metal giants “Beholder” and “Man Of Kin”, for Bowtell Promotions supporting the legendary “Kyrbgrinder” proving that this dynamic band are at home whatever the venue, whomever the headliner and whatever the sub genre of metal/rock. 
Tom Dare witnessed and reviewed a GraVil show for “Terrorizer Magazine” saying:

"GraVil open this evening's Grindhouse in fine fashion, showcasing some fantastic shred among the riffage, able to do the blistering stuff nicely while confident to slow things down to serve the songs”

NEW VIDEOCLIP "GOODBYE"!

The band Nowhere Crowd was founded in 2009 by Silvio Marotta (drums), Francesco Paggin (keyboards), Giovanni Perotto (bass), Mattia Gargiulo and Roberto Dalla Bona (guitars), already active since 2002 in the production of his own music.

“In Nightmares He will come” is the first single, freely inspired by the horror movie “Nightmare on Elm Street”: the song was written, produced and mixed in their own rehearsal room/recording studio in Vicenza. For the voices of the track were called Andrea Castellan and Elena Dalla Pozza, who were also involved in the two following singles: “The best is yet to come” and “Am I still alive?”

For the realization of the videoclip of “In Nightmares He will come,” the band contacted the videomaker Cristian Tomassini, with whom were conceived and produced the script, the set and the filming.

In the summer of 2011, the singer Riky Miolo took part in the song “Am I still alive?” In the same period, the band met the singer Genny Minoliti. Riky and Genny officially become members of the band, collaborating in the arrangement of “Goodbye” and “Faith Factory”.

In January 2012, Giovanni Perotto left the band for important job opportunities: he was replaced by bassist Manuel Pavan.
The recorded material was collected in an EP, while the video of “In Nightmares He will come” was broadcast on digital terrestrial television.
In the period from March to June 2012, the band dedicated itself to making the set and the filming of  ”Goodbye”, directed by Cristian Tomassini.
