COUNTERSTRIKE

Counterstrike was formed in 2005 as a natural progression of the band formerly known as Absolute Zero. Musically the band borrows from many different genres but delivers, both live and in the studio, a massive mix of heavy tones, raw energy, blistering vocals, and scorching drums. Based in East Peoria, IL, the band spent much of late 2005 writing new songs and building what was to become the basis for their upcoming first album. In early 2006 the band began to play live again for the first time as a complete unit. Counterstrike’s aggressive grooves have found a place in the music scene around Peoria and have slowly started creeping out of the Central Illinois area, getting numerous hits on the web as well as radio play as far away as Northern Wisconsin. The band has advanced and evolved quickly using traditional methods such as promoting shows with flyers, getting played on radio, handing out free demos and DVDs at shows, and by using new tools to musicians such as myspace. Counterstrike is working hard to stay true to their music as their audience continues to expand by dominating every live show they’ve done and striving to maintain that reputation. Whether in front of two dozen or two-thousand, the band brings it every time. With some solid radio play from Central Illinois up to Wisconsin they’ve scheduled many shows varying from small bars to huge venues. The band has recently supported such acts as Megadeth, Lamb of God, Hatebreed, Exodus, Napalm Death, Black Label Society, Opeth, Black Dahlia Murder, Arch Enemy, Droid, and Silent Civilian among others. Counterstrike released their "Damaged" album in May of 2008.
