Fed up with the trends flooding the Metal scene, NERVOCHAOS was born on the spring of 96, with the idea of creating aggressive and chaotic music shredding the barriers of Death Metal and Hard Core. NERVOCHAOS gained cult status in the extreme music scene due to their hard work over the years, offering their sonic extravaganza in their unique way. The band’s demos have become collectors’ items throughout the underground.

Insatanity was formed during the summer of 1992, when fellow area musicians united to create one of the most original, brutal and atmospheric bands in the metal genre to date.

Formed in the fall of 2012, Age of Ares is quickly becoming a favored band. Age of Ares has played with national acts including Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, Teastament, Huntress, Chimaira, Vital Remains and have shared the stage with Hate Storm Annihilation on multiple occasions. Their hit song Plagues was featured on the radio station 105.5 The Kat. Age of Ares is preparing for their tour coming up in April of 2014 in which they will be traveling with Bloodsoaked on the Consuming Europe tour, immediately after that opening for the legendary MASTER on the “North American Witch Hunt Tour!”

In 2007 the idea began to manifest physically. The two brothers instigated several public performances with a drum machine. Quickly drawing attention, Glenn Mendoza was discovered by way of the internet. Bringing Ed Ingram into the team, Mendoza allowed the group to engage in weekly Sonic Destruction of much larger audiences, including support on sold out performances at The Pearl Room, legendary for providing the greater Chicagoland area with an elite Metal experience.

At this point the band began to closer observe their reality. This allowed them to lead entire audiences to complete Aural Satisfaction at once, stated by some fans to be, “Bringing the glory back to Metal!”

Experiencing 200 live performances by early 2010, including multiple encounters with “Chicago’s Finest” for various noise complaints and power outages, ACT OF DESTRUCTION™ began working on their yet unreleased debut full length: ‘EXTINCTION’. Ed Ingram had left the band to pursue personal goals, making way for Keith Pedziewiatr to join for a brief period. Writing was completed and drums were tracked in Summer of 2010.

As work progressed, both Mendoza and Pedziewiatr left the band in search of personal aspirations. During that time, ACT OF DESTRUCTION™ signed an exclusive deal with the ‘Scariest Man in America’ Hart D. Fisher and the American Horrors network for use of a re-recorded demo track, “Die”, for theme song and promotional purposes.

Pushing forward to bring this Music to as many people as possible, John and Nigel Bravo completed the album. Early 2012 witnessed a handful of live performances featuring Will Lange, cousin to the Bravos, filling in on Drums, and Alex Baggio, now a permanent Guitarist.

In 2014, on recommendation from a Chicago metal veteran, Jason Caruana was contacted and quickly became a permanent member of the band. Final mixing and mastering of ‘Extinction’ was completed during the summer at Lo-Tech Laboratories. ‘Extinction’ was released publicly on February 6th 2015 in Chicago and is now available at every live performance!

Will your city be next to lie upon the Path Of Destruction?

“A transparent band in a time where imitation is common”

The beginning,
One Steel Wound began in 2012 when Brandon Castillomet Mike Boyer and D. Reitz in the south suburbs of Chicago. In the following months consisting of a search for a bassist, Gerard Ortiz would emerge and fill the vacant space thus completing the line-up. By the time the line-up was complete, the sound harnessed, the goals marked, and the first songs composed; the year was coming to an end.

Amidst opening for artists such as Drowning Pool, Affiance, It Lies Within, Tenafly Viper, Mushroomhead, Eyes Set To Kill, and Kill Devil Hill; OSW was creating what would become their first recorded effort in the format of an EP.

DEC 1, 2014
This date marked the writing process of One Steel Wound’s debut album “Vendetta”.

Performing as headliners and opening acts ranging from city house shows to Mojoes; it is evident that with a determined unfiltered mindset One Steel Wound is living by their guts and goals and not dollar signs and thus retaining a permanent space within individuals eager for a refreshing artist of modern times.

“One Steel Wound is a band determined to live by what is in their blood and displays disregard for the status quo.”
