Without Redemption Demo
We try to create complex music with loud, crunching guitars that still make a melodic statement. We're not afraid to turn off the distortion or drag out an old acoustic guitar now and then either.
Our music features a lot of key changes, varying tempos, and different time signatures. We try to use influences from the past to guide us into the future rather than remaining stuck on the same old chord progressions and beats. We think there is still a lot of room for innovation in the metal genre without sounding too weird.

Why this name?
Did you ever read anything by Dante?
Do you play live?
We've played a few small gigs in clubs and bars. We are pretty busy with professional careers and do this for fun. Of course, we enjoy it. It's always special to entertain people with music.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Almost anyone can answer this question for themselves. It does change the music industry, but it was probably due for a change. You can't expect everything to stay the same. Change is what makes things better.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably not, but it depends on the circumstances.
Band History:
We were friends and fans of metal even before we could play instruments. We met during our high school years. We each chose an instrument and learned everything we could about music. We had some disagreement about what type of band we were going to be at first, but we finally sorted all that out. Years later, we got together and played some original songs. We liked the way that sounded and felt.
Your influences?
Metallica, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Iron Maiden, Nevermore, Iced Earth, Sentenced, Opeth, Alice in Chains, Pantera, Arch Enemy, Brainstorm, Helloween, Anthrax, Slayer, Agent Steel, Angra, Dream Theater, Judas Priest, Queensryche, Helstar, Cage, Primal Fear, Children of Bodom, Type O Negative, Balance of Power, and many more!
Favorite spot?
Wherever we may roam.
Equipment used:
ESP guitars and lots of other stuff. It's not like we have endorsements, so we don't really need to waste time talking about it. We use whatever sounds good and what we can afford.
Anything else...?
Metal rulez! What more can be said?
