Formed in late 2002, Azygous exploded onto the Cincinnati metal scene, birthing
an entirely new era of heavy music and quickly establishing itself as one of the
heaviest, fastest, hardest hitting bands in the city. Hell bent on world
domination and it s goal of spreading "Whiskey Core Metal" to the masses, the
band's utilization of heavy guitars, ripping double bass, ferociously intense
vocals and a high energy stage show forms a bonding connection with the audience
and guarantees that no one is left disappointed
Over the years, Azygous has garnered a dedicated rapturous underground
following in the Midwest, playing along side such acts as God Forbid, Between
The Buried And Me, The Red Chord, Bleed The Sky, Misery Index, Byzantine
Macabre, Kataklysm, Estuary, Jackknife, My Ruin, Losa, Forever In Terror
Bobaflex, Cephalic Carnage, Black Market Hero and Beneath The Sky, to name a
few. As a result of an incessant touring schedule and rigorous self promotion
the band has earned an impressive "word of mouth" advertising platform, which
has resulted in a colossal discipleship around the U.S. and abroad. Throughout
the course of their collaborative existence, the band, which is entirely
self-sustaining and exclusively responsible for any and all promotions, bookings
and recordings, has released multiple minor recordings. During the past year
it's five members have focused all of their energy on writing and recording what
they consider to be the group s first official full-length release
In 2007, Azygous will commence touring to promote this maiden effort, their LP
aptly titled "Whiskey Driven Hate Machine". Due in large part to an established
foundation of dedicated fans, CD sales have already begun to skyrocket, touring
opportunities have abound, and the band expects to experience a significantly
increasing success with the completion of their first LP. This, in turn, has
left them anxiously looking forward to the release of their second full-length
album, which is already in the works
