Flag in the Ground is amazing on pro drums but my leg feels like it's going to fall off now, thanks.

If you think your leg is going to fall off from that, wait til you play "The Truth". I cannot play that fast bass for that long with one pedal.

New Band heading to the Network from ASPro

Only fitting we anounce this today (R.I.P. Dime ) They are one of the biggest influences on Pantera's music and where hanging out with Dime and Phil when they got signed way back when!


The Indestructible Noise Command


I.N.C., a thrasher band of "mythical" proportions, emerged in the 1980s as a heavy metal frontrunner. They covered CARS tunes, were there when PANTERA got signed, hit #1 on the U.S. college metal charts, stole the U.K. #2 import slot out from underneath AEROSMITH and released two records which won them solid reviews. There they were. And now? They're back for more.

I.N.C. (a.k.a. INDESTRUCTIBLE NOISE COMMAND) is poised to bleed heavy aggression and pump a mega dose of adrenalin into today's metal landscape against a backdrop of sound bites and imagery inspired by interviews with German computer programmer and admitted cannibal Armin Meiwes.


[I]Our new material is far more brutal than our original stuff. Our lyrics are darker, are style is edgier and we're more musically and vocally aggressive," says guitarist and songwriter Erik Barath. "Dennis Leeflang is our new drummer; he's played with Lita Ford. Sam Roon (of HUNG) is our new bassist. That means Dennis (Gergely) can go completely wild on vocals.

"The band will be different in all the right ways, but we've stayed true enough to our old-school flavor to keep the 'kids' happy. We don't imagine our original fans want or expect us to simply regurgitate what they heard on 'Razorback' [1987] or 'The Visitor' [1988]. That said, yeah, we're open to reworking some of our old hits so that we can include them on our upcoming, third album."

The tracks for the new CD, entitled"Bleed the Line", will be laid down throughout the summer to emerge as a six-song demo recording.

The first song will be testing shortly is "Rain", one of I.N.C.'s newest songs, uses machine-gun delivery and buzzsaw riffs to deliver a hefty dose of hard-core thrash. ."Also features A wicked solo by Ron "Bumblefoot" Thai.[/I]

Circa Now

Circa Now was formed in 2007 by lead guitarist and vocalist Josh Pann. Circa Now takes its name from the great Rocket from the Crypt album, Circa Now.
Circa Now is Josh Pann on lead guitar and vocals, thunderous Scotty Stover on bass and vocals, and hard hitting Justin Botello on drums.

Circa Now recorded their first album 100 WATTS at Sushifish Studios in San Diego. 100 WATTS was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2008 at the San Diego Music Awards. In 2010 Circa Now garnered another nomination for Best Rock Album for Hotter Than A Pistol. Circa Now has headlined many successful gigs at the finest venues in California, including The Whiskey a Go Go, The Key Club opening for Steel Panther, The Casbah, The House of Blues and San Diego City Fest. Other highlights include winning The Freedom Session Battle Of The Bands in 2008.

Internationally recognized record producer Alan Sanderson produced Circa Now’s new CD entitled “Hotter Than A Pistol”. Alan has significant credits that include the Rolling Stones, Weezer, Elvis Costello and other well known artists.

The Big Takeover said; (November 2010 Issue 67) Along with equally incendiary Dirty Sweet, “Hotter Than A Pistol” Circa Now’s new album is a high octane, 70’s inspired blues rock powder keg.

Circa Now continues to rumble stages all around the southwest spreading their infectious brand of "Rock n Roll."

In error 404 Fear of Water - Firewall with Pro - Drums


If you like Sevendust and Helmet you will enjoy this band !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1E-h9gbAvU

http://www.myspace.com/thefearofwater

Fear of Water is a powerful rock band based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Their influences include Sevendust, Foo Fighters, many of the early 90s grunge bands, and many of today's great hard rock acts. Together, the band has completed two studio albums – ‘Fear of Water’ in 2005 and ‘The Truth In Sand’ in 2007. Both albums were recorded by Vinny Millevolte (Axis Recording Studio / The Exchange Recording Studio) and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Trevor Sadler (Mastermind Productions).

Though existing in many previous forms and incarnations, Fear of Water was officially formed in September 2004 when Chris and Dave Perry returned to their hometown of Milwaukee, WI. Brent Conrad, a lifelong friend, was recruited to contribute his unrivaled talent and devotion to the guitar. Steve Butler, a friend and former band mate, also contributed his guitar talents from 2004 until early 2008 when Steve and the group parted ways. After Steve’s departure Joe Kral, another friend and former collaborator, stepped in to fill Steve's big shoes (both figuratively and literally). Phil Belongia holds down the bottom end on the bass guitar. Discovered through an online advertisement, Phil’s wide-ranging musical influences have added a unique sonic and visual character to Fear of Water’s sound and live show and have proved that not everyone that you meet online is a complete wack job.

Fear of Water has a unique heavy, yet melodic style that caters both to the radio-friendly and harder-edged crowds. The members of Fear of Water have high aspirations and goals with their music and hope to share it with as many people as possible. Please give a listen to a few of our songs - if you're a rock lover, you won't be disappointed.
