Ever since our inception in early 2010, we have come across a lot of great bands within New York City Underground Heavy Music Scene. One band that is contributing to the growth of the scene by always delivering the goods is IKILLYA. Fronted by vocalist Jason Lekberg, the bands debut album "Recon" offers listeners a fresh sounding groove machine full of furious well polished songs. Guess what? It is time for album number two! The album will be called 'Vae Victis' and you can help make it happen for this group of hard working musicians. The band has setup an Indiegogo campaign since they are a self funded band and producing a solid album costs a lot of money! Here is a collective statement from the band regarding their campaign:
"Hello friends. After much discussion and debate, we've decided to set this campaign up to help fund our upcoming album "Vae Victis" and the marketing around it. We're honored to have so many people who have given our band a chance over the past years and we're hoping that some of you will be interested in investing in our NEW album, or at the very least, pre-ordering it. We've put together a set of packages that we hope deliver real value as making sure those interested in supporting us are treated fairly is our prime concern. If you'd like to invest in something you don't see here, please just let us know." - IKILLYA

Today more than ever before, it is essential for promoters, artists and fans to keep the pulse of Heavy Music (the underground scene) alive and kicking! Ever since the inception of Horns Up Rocks, we have been actively involved in strengthening the underground Heavy Music scene. While many understand the importance of supporting the local artists and venues, there are still too many who are forgetting how essential it is to keep underground music breathing!
This Saturday, June 16th, we are teaming up with Tattoo Shot Lounge (home of Coney Island Ink) and bringing you one of Brazil's finest musical exports to one of America's finest playgrounds. We are talking about Thrash Metallers MACHINAGE. Three words can clearly define the band was founded in 2007, in Jundiaí-SP, Brazil by Fábio Delibo (vocals & guitars) and Fernando Kump (guitar).
The band’s proposal has always been to believe in its identity, getting away from any label and writing songs in which mix the Thrash Metal from the 80s together with nowadays technique, besides an aggressive and odd vocal melody.
Machinage has shared the stage with important bands of the world scenario like Overkill, Sepultura, Nuclear Assault Dismember, Tim Ripper Owens, André Matos, Angra, Almah, Torture Squad, and Korzus confirming to be one of the greatest promises.
Joining them on Saturday will be:
- IKILLYA is the ferocity that follows the moment of clarity created by the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. The human strength of will has been shown to be capable of achieving the impossible, and never is it more focused than when we are pushed to our absolute limit. Creating music has been our primary goal as long as we’ve had the cogitative ability to have a primary goal and all too often it is in direct opposition to the realities of everyday life.
- WRENCHwas originally formed in the early 90's, founding members John Musto (Guitar)and Case (Bass) searched for a NEW sound in Heavy Music. John put down his guitar and picked up a bass and attempted to create the heaviest sound imaginable and he succeeded. The two-bass player Wrench was formed. Shortly after the writing process began, John and Case recruited drummer Mike Palmeri, who had just parted ways with LIFE OF AGONY after signing with them to Roadrunner Records. The trio went through a couple of singers until the band's breakup in early '95. Along the way, energetic and powerful live shows with TYPE O NEGATIVE, GWAR, OVERKILL, BIOHAZARD, VISION OF DISORDER, and countless others, made Wrench a band no one would ever forget.The band recently recorded the band's first demo in 15 years with Joey Z. at his Method of Groove Studio in Brooklyn.
- GAS is too disturbing to watch... too compelling to turn away. They Have An Incredible lineup and a Killer Sound. Blaze Valentine Is On Drums, GuGi Is On Lead Guitar & Choco ONE Don Loco Of Needles From The Creek & Tribal Red, Is On Bass. GAS is an acronym. It stands for Getting All Stupid. GAS was formed when the late 80's band Excretions declined to play live shows despite over 19 full length albums so infectious frontman Jonny Kook decided to take his madness to the next level. The Original GAS, Jon Kook, Mike Anderson, Bones, & Anthony "Pez" did A 37 State Tour In 2 Months. Jon Kook Was introduced by the legendary shock jock, the king of all media Howard Stern, at Jones Beach Theatre as the MC for the Ivy Supersonic Fashion Show which was part of the Dysfunctional Family Picnic Event where Green Day headlined. GAS was hand picked to play The Black Sabbath/ Motorhead After Show Party as the musicians favorite and provided the entertainment for the party.
- ADDICTED TO PAIN pays tribute to ‘80s era first-wave of Thrash Metal. Albany, New York’s Addicted to Pain appeals to a wide variety of Heavy Metal connoisseurs. Comprised of Leo Curley (vocals & guitar), Bob Horvath (bass), and Gregory Nash (drums), the group released their first-ever self-titled EP in 2010. Working with acclaimed producer Alex Perialas (who has worked on landmark Thrash Metal releases by Anthrax, S.O.D., and Testament, among others), the EP is sure to catch the attention of any Metalhead.
- JULIUS SEIZURE is a force to be reckoned with in the tri state area Heavy Music scene and beyond! After releasing their debut EP on May 15th, 2012, the band is bringing their "Gladia-tour" this Saturday to Coney Island. Be there!
- DEATHALIZER start right were Metallica and Pantera left off, mixing the best elements of Groove and Thrash Metal into an elegant and melodic Speed Metal experience. Like their predecessors, this band is meant to be experienced live and pride themselves on putting an all out show. “We see a lot of bands that are too worried about their hardcore image” says frontman Enmanuel Vanderlinder. “That’s fine by us, but we prefer to let the music do the talking. We want you to feel the guitars in your face, the drums in your guts and the bass in your nuts. We are confident that we will succeed at that.”
Spread the word and we hope to see YOU this Saturday at Tattoo Shot Lounge in Coney Island, New York! \m/ RSVP here!

- Vital Statistics:
\m/ LINEUP: - Jason Lekberg (Vocals)
- David Kerr (Guitars)
- Mansa Gory (Bass)
\m/ YEAR OF FORMATION: 2005
\m/ ORIGIN: New York City
\m/ MISSION: To create heavy music that is exciting to play, forces us each to grow as artists, and elicits raw emotion from the listener.
\m/ BIOGRAPHY: IKILLYA is the ferocity that follows the moment of clarity created by the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. The human strength of will has been shown to be capable of achieving the impossible, and never is it more focused than when we are pushed to our absolute limit. Creating music has been our primary goal as long as we’ve had the cogitative ability to have a primary goal and all too often it is in direct opposition to the realities of everyday life.
We write from the desperate need for others to hear us and, frankly, play because we are genetically compelled to. Our new EP "Recon" is a collection of warning shots assembled from our first adventures as a complete unit. Each song represents a point in our mutation and a glimpse at what is yet to come. Recon is the beginning of the war for our lives.
We hope that our songs can be both our own sonic therapy and the knot at the end of someone else’s rope. Hang on friends. Your life is in your hands, and as long as you have air in your lungs, you can conquer the world.
Breathe, focus, Ikillya.

In the past year, the New York Heavy Music scene has experienced an explosion in the growth of it's talent. This year has also been very interesting for Horns Up Rocks, to say the least. What started as an "experiment", is quickly becoming a full blown musical movement. To celebrate New York's musical accomplishments in 2010, we have joined forces with New York's fun-band King Hell to bring you "Death-Mas 2010"!
On December 4th, Brooklyn's Trash Bar will host a line-up featuring 6 of the most exciting bands of today's underground music scene. Additionally, Jo Schuftan (founder of Horns Up Rocks) will be on hand to host and DJ the event. Horns Up Rocks has been at the forefront of the heavy music scene in New York City, helping to promote new music and revive a passion for old-school metal. Additionally, Odd Man In will be celebrating the release of their new album!
Here are all the details:
Date and time: Saturday, December 4th 2010 at 8pm
Location: The Trash Bar, 289 Grand St. in Brooklyn NY, 11211
Bands:
Odd Man In: "A tantalizing blend of thrashing riffs and gracious melodies, served up with a dose of humor and a dash of bitter, here for your education and entertainment. To know us is to fucking love us, okay?" -ODD MAN IN
IkillYa: "Our mission is to create heavy music that is exciting to play, forces us each to grow as artists, and elicits raw emotion from the listener. We write from the desperate need for others to hear us and, frankly, play because we are genetically compelled to. Our new EP Recon is a collection of warning shots assembled from our first adventures as a complete unit. Each song represents a point in our mutation and a glimpse at what is yet to come. Recon is the beginning of the war for our lives." -IKILLYA
King Hell: "Metallica meets Parliament, it’s King Hell—the Epic Defenders of Metal and Funk! With dual, dynamo front-men, epic guitar, and earthquake inducing bass and drums, King Hell's groove-infused classic metal and relentless live show come with a money-back guarantee to tear the roof off the joint, burn the house down, and make audiences dance 'round the flames—and their new CD Rhythm & Bruise makes good on their sworn, solemn vow to deliver pure rock ecstasy wherever it is needed." -KING HELL
The World Lost: "World Lost's music can be compared to the thrill of being buffeted by a Category 1 hurricane. There is no thin, peep of a sound here- the music has a full sound with crisp drums, surgically precise guitars, smooth and groovy bass lines, and vocals reminiscent of the two Phil's (Anselmo and Rind) as well as Kirk from Crowbar." -DELAWARE METAL
Thinning The Herd: "Thinning the Herd was formed in a cloud of smoke, within a recessed canyon deep inside your mind. The originating members (Tapper/Spielman) met in high school -- years later forming the songwriting union known as THINNING THE HERD." -THINNING THE HERD
Death Immortal: "Launching in the summer of 2006 as Animus of Abbas, Death Immortal came to the front of the metal scene in the middle of 2008. Like a phoenix reborn from smoldering ashes, Death Immortal emerged from the helm of other fallen acts as Chester, Mark, Alex and Jason formed to conquer and take back what’s rightfully theirs. To bring to light what is in the dark and to embrace what others ignore. The band's music is what the east coast needs, a slap in the face to the rest of the world showing that New York means business." -DEATH IMMORTAL
Entertainment: Jo Schuftan of Horns Up Rocks will host and DJ.
