BOOMSLANG

The band was founded in 2003 by two long time friends and musicians, vocalist Rich Treadway and bassist Mark Price. Driven to stand apart, BOOMSLANG eagerly set out to inaugurate their listeners to a new and

indescribable musical experience by providing a sound that clearly is unique.



Every member of this power group brings their own brand of metal from their vast and diverse range of experience in the metal scene.



In 2006 Boomslang released their debut CD entitled INSANITY which they recorded at Sleepless Nights Studio in Madison, WI with Paul Schluter as

engineer and co-producer and was mastered by Greg Reely of Vancouver.

Tracks from the CD have made their way onto several regional radio stations

and internet radio broadcasts to rave reviews.



In 2007 Boomslang was responsible for the creation of SLANG METALFEST, the areas first ever all day metal festival in Danville, Illinois, which featured several metal bands from the Midwest region. arranged, booked, and funded by the guys in Boomslang, right down to the beer vendor. The event was so successful, Boomslang sponsored and developed the show again for 2008. The all day show featured several of the best unsigned metal bands in the Midwest. For the headliner Boomslang was able to secure Eclipse artist Scum of The Earth featuring '’Riggs' formerly of Rob Zombie to headline the show. The event brought in over 1,000 fans of all ages from the regional area.



BOOMSLANG kicked off 2008 with their usual ferocity, opening for Jackyl to a Sold Out crowd of 3,500 people in their hometown of Danville, IL. Due to the regional following BOOMSLANG has earned, tickets sold out in just 2 days. In June of 2009, Slang Metalfest brought in acts from beyond the midwest, including a blistering as sweat soaked set by Texas Hippie Coalition.



BOOMSLANG has endured the ups and downs that come with the territory.faces change, attitudes differ.but as of December '09, BOOMSLANG is back in their funky little studio working on their next release, shooting for a summer '10 debut of their new cd, their new lineup and a summer full of shows.



It will be a MOMENT OF TRUTH.
