Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Eleventh Hour is a heavy/thrash metal band from Rawalpindi, Pakistan, dedicated to redefining metal and re-introducing thrash/old-school-inspired metal into the world!! The band was formed somewheres in sep/oct 2005. Pioneer members include "Danish Kayani" (drums) and "Hassan" (bass). The band initially had "Usman" on rhythm guitars and "Ali (fedex)" on lead gtr. Zia was let into joining the band upon their advertisement. Initially Zia, was doin only vocals, but later wen Usman exited the band, Zia also started doing rhtyhms. The next to exit the band was Ali fedex. Exit: Ali, Enter: Ammar Najeeb(lead gtrs).... Recent occurence!... Ammar Najeeb exits the band due to some issues. and guess wat!! we got another Ammar, Ammar Tareen to join the band!!.. In August 2007, rite after the release of our single entitled "Lunging Snakes", Ammar Tareen left for the US for higher studies. Ammar Tareen will be remembered in our hearts for being the first lead guitarist who "let us" fucking record our entire material from April 2007 to Aug 2007, which had been otherwise clogged :). This includes our debut, "Quarry", the next song, "The Season Ends" and finally, "Lunging Snakes"... The Band's current line up is as follows: Zia (Rhythm gtrs/Vocals/Compositions) Danish Kayani (Drums) Hassan Ozman(Bass)
