At No End rose from the streets of Cleveland in January 2004 with the meeting of Jack Sabolich (vocals) and Tommy Packard (guitar) through a mutual friend. During that first meeting the vision for the band was set; create a unique brand of metal laced with rhythmic hooks and a hardcore work ethic, mentality, and attitude. After a few short weeks, Kenny Easterly (drums) joined and helped make that vision a reality. It was this "all for one" mentality which helped the band quickly rise within both the Cleveland hardcore and metal scenes and foster a reputation as one of the hardest working, and tightest bands on the scene. The intensity of the music along with the high-energy live performances earned them opening slots for many of the metal and hardcore greats from all over the globe. After just three short months of shows at such legendary Cleveland venues like Peabody's Downunder, The Cleveland Agora, and The Plain Dealer Pavilion, At No End caught the eye of Steve Felton (aka Skinny) from Mushroomhead who agreed to record a 5-song demo for them. In June of 2004, At No End entered Filthy Hands Studios to lay down five tracks that would pave the way for what was to come.
With demo in hand, At No End pushed their boundaries even further, gaining radio play, live performances, and on-air interviews on both college and commercial stations throughout northeast Ohio. While local radio helped to further increase the Cleveland fan base, taking the show out on a regional level proved that success could be had outside of northeast Ohio. Consistently traveling to the smaller towns that most bands would ignore, At No End began to develop a loyal fan base all throughout the state. It was this support from radio and the drive to blatantly self promote outside of northeast Ohio that landed At No End in the pages of the Garry Sharpe-Young book New Wave Of American Heavy Metal.
October 2005 saw the addition of Don Forrester on bass and backing vocals helping to further solidify the band mentally and musically and make them a tighter unit than ever before. After a few headlining shows introducing the new lineup and new material, it was time to record their long anticipated first full-length release. At No End entered Conquistador Studios in January 2006 to team up with Cole Martinez to co-produce nine tracks that were to become the self-released Building The Rebellion.
Released in July 2006, Building The Rebellion captured the raw aggression of their live shows. With the support of the local radio stations, numerous headlining shows, and an ever increasing fan base, Building The Rebellion earned At No End a nomination for the Cleveland Free Times Music Award for Best Metal Band of 2006. At this point, there was no other option but to write and record a follow-up disc that would push the boundaries even further, if not tear them down all together.
In the late summer 2008, At No End entered the studio with producer/guitarist Curran Murphy (Shatter Messiah, Nevermore) to lay down the tracks that would prove they can hold their own in the hardcore metal scene. By going back to the basics of writing and arranging, At No End managed to obtain a sound that is punishing and heavy, yet catchy, something that is lacking in much of the heavy music of today. Jack Sabolich's vocals and Tommy Packard's guitars provide a raw emotion and energy that sets the tone, while Don Forrester's bass and Kenny Easterly's monstrous drumming lay a foundation that can stand up with the best. The first track, Urban Holocaust, provides a great insight into the bands musical unity, capabilities, and overall style. Track two, entitled Scumbag, with guest vocals provided by Human Furnace of Ringworm (Victory Records), demonstrates the inherent brutality contained in simplicity.
In 2010 Don Forrester left the band in order to take care of personal matters and the void on bass was filled by Jason Chamberlain of Shatter Messiah. As in the past, the band has failed to miss a beat during the transition. In the Summer of 2010 the band finally signed a distribution deal with TMR, and Urban Holocaust is set for a September 2010 release.
