Crushing Hardcore with some Metal elements, but at heart influenced by 90's Hardcore such as Earth Crisis, All Out War, Merauder, Integrity, Another Victim, The Path Of Resistance and other quality bands in the same vein, but lesser degree.
Formed in October of 2001, disbanded on September of 2007. We released 2 demos (one of which was released on the day of our first show). The self titled first demo immediately [and surprisingly] caused an impact in the local and national scene on a word-of-mouth level. The cover featured a photo of Michael Douglas' character "D-fens" from the movie "Falling Down", as a way to express the feeling of being fed up with the world and the way the HC scene at that point in time no longer represented its true value. A few months later we would record our second demo entitled "Veritas Odium Parit" which continued as a natural progression from the first demo. It also features artwork from local influential artists and graphic designers such as Fonrouge and Marte God. A year after that we released our first studio effort and full length, "Invictus Maneo" (or Self-Titled). The CD was well received within the underground music scene in Mexico by Hardcore, Metal and Punk fans as well as Hardcore fans in some other parts of the globe. Again featuring artwork by Fonrouge, the 14 track album is a solid and uncompromising statement of our own brand of pummeling Hardcore and brash Metal fury, and does a fine job in portraying the musical growth we obtained from our most active time. We're also featured in 3 complilations: "Hecho en Mexico" (National) "Monterrey Underground" (Local) and "El Cambio Empieza en Mi" (International). We played a few shows in different parts of Mexico and remained active playing often at local shows. A year after the full length was released, we went on a 3 week tour with our fellow conspirators and brother band, Die Young TX. The tour went from Texas, west-bound to Tijuana, Mexico and then north through California, Oregon and Washington, all the way to Vancouver, Canada, and back through the Rocky Mountains. On the way we managed to play at HC/Punk mecca: 924 Gilman St. We received a great response and continued to gain popularity within the Hardcore scene, at that point being one of the few Mexican HC bands known abroad. We then did a mini-tour the following year in Mexico with our brother band xPor La Verdadx. Afterwards we went through a hiatus and stopped playing shows for 6 months only to find out that we couldn't cohesively compose music that all members could agree upon anymore. We played Die Young's CD release party [with an improvised line-up] for their Eulogy debut "Graven Images" in Houston, TX. After that another 6 months went by and we finally decided that due to musical differences, time constraints and divergent priorities we had to put the band to rest. We did a final 10 day tour through Mexico with our long time friends Nunca Mas from Guadalajara, and we released the last song we wrote on an exclusive tour edition split with them. The tour went better than we expected and both bands bonded amazingly. We played our final show in our hometown Monterrey to an audience of friends and family in what turned out to be one of the best shows we ever played. Throughout the time we were active, before and after, we remain as 5 friends who firmly believe in the ethics of the Straight Edge movement.
we sould our souls to barbado, hail the great beard!
