Discography
Body Of Scars - 2007
The quartet formed late in 2006 when friends Randy Davis and James
Santiago got together to drink a few cold ones and talk some shop. The
duo brought out the guitars and before they knew it they had written two
or three songs, Davis relates, "James and I are like the flow brothers,
we feed off each other and writing with James makes it all too easy!".
Stjernquist checked out the material and decided that this was something
he wanted to be a part of. "After meeting James and Randy while
listening to the material I knew I wanted to be a part of this band
without a doubt in my mind" recalls the skinsman. The band recruited a
temporary bass player and began playing out around Phoenix, all the
while continuing to write. After a year went by the band realized they
had written enough material for 2 or 3 albums and began weeding through
the songs in order to record what would become their debut effort.
With their self titled debut album, the quartet show a diversity seldom
seen in the metal ranks, all the while staying true to their roots.
Songs such as "Bounced", "Body of Scars",
"Blood Drain", "Set Ablaze" and "Let’s Get High" will show you the
variety of tunings, musicianship and talent this band really has within
it's ranks
