AOA was formed in august of 2000 with the intent of producing an original sound based on the musical influences of the diverse members backgrounds and tastes ranging from Death Metal, Thrash, Hardcore and other genres providing a fresh and incomparable sound. Since 2000, AOA has produced 2 demos in 2001 and 2004. The evolution of the band is evident in material and musicianship on each demo and every live performance- becoming tighter, more energetic and professional with each step. Material wise- AOA has addressed many issues from the current state of affairs on the war with Iraq/president Bush, etc to common feelings of discontent, rage and intelligent introspection. AOA's style cannot be easily compared to other bands or styles, instead it commands a style all its own.
