Lineup:
HEADLINER Slam One Down: This party band originated back in 2005 when J.R. started coming up with killer riffs and song ideas that you can hear now on their demo titled "The Basement Demos". The riffs followed J.R. through three different bands and it was not until he met vocalist Bobby Brazen that he solidified the style that you hear today.
RESOLUTION 15: We are very stoked to have Resolution 15 on board! This is a band whose sound is rooted in Thrash Metal, Hardcore, Punk, and Classical Music. They use violins in place of guitars to disseminate their egalitarian message of global change.
Formed in 2007, Resolution 15 released their self-titled debut to rave reviews (being featured on the front page of CD Baby for an entire month and in articles in numerous metal blogs) and quickly became a fixture in the New York metal scene. Get to the show early, because you don't want to miss this awesome band!
FLAMES OF FURY was founded in the Spring of 2009, by guitarist Jason Perez & vocalist Angelica Vargas, with the goal of creating the most intense and exciting metal songs possible. With a dedicated stride towards excellence with every note composed, played, and sung, Flames of Fury will blow you away with their extreme mix of power, speed, thrash, epic, doom, black, symphonic, traditional, & modern metal styles.
ALEKHINE'S GUN is a Thrash Metal outfit from Brooklyn, New York. Blending the aggressive styles of Death and Thrash Metal with fierce in your face vocals, AG is strategically looking to make their move in the Metal scene! Come check them out!
FENRISMAW came to life during the winter of 2009. Fenrismaw is the musical manifestation of ancient, primal devastation. Keeping to the creed of real musicianship, and the mentality of the darkest of Metal, Fenrismaw blends primordial savagery with cold, sinister complexity. This is an age drowned in sub par, mediocrity. This is a genre stagnating in the filth of those parasites who do nothing for Metal. We are here as an ally to those true brothers and sisters who have been driving Metal forward. The realm that the Gods of Metal have forged before us is ours to lay claim to.
EMPYREON emerges onto the scene with an innovative sound consisting of keyboard driven melodic metal. Hard to define or categorize, the band prefers to simply call it "Metal".
Comprised of NYC based session musicians, the band had begun as a mutual side project and musical curiosity among members Mike Khalilov (Keyboard, Guitars), Phil Coard (Bass) and Frank Godla (Drums). It began with the Eternal Nightmare EP arranged, recorded by Don Chaffin (Ace Frehley), produced by Eyal Levi (Daath), and mastered by Scott Hull (Meatloaf, John Zorn) within just 1 week of inception.
PLUS 1 SPECIAL GUEST!
THE HIXON is a hard hitting Thrash Metal band that leaves a mark of chaos wherever they roam. Ever since their inception over 10 years ago, The Hixon have remained true to their roots and have always proved that Thrash Metal is alive and well.
Last year they toured with Charred Walls of The Damned around the tri-state area, and together with Horns Up Rocks and Jefferson Avenue Productions, they brought their annual Hixonfest to New York City. The event was a huge hit and people are still talking about it. This is why we decide to invite them to the 2011 March Metal Beatdown as our special guest!
In the last few years, life changing events took place in the life of Jo Schuftan (founder of Horns Up Rocks). After lots of hardship and some very trying times, he strongly gripped all the challenges thrown at him by life, and decided it was time to follow his passion for all things Heavy! Next thing you know, he creates a web movement called Horns Up Rocks and with perseverance, hard work and attitude, he single handily takes over the New York City Heavy Music scene. At the time some were skeptic about his creation, but he knew that the timing was perfect and that the underground music scene needed a jump start.
Today Horns Up Rocks is proud to bring you post number 200! After hearing some horror stories from some of our female fans, who have been victims of some loser stalkers, we decided to pay tribute to them. One of our missions since day 1 was to empower women worldwide! Horns Up Rocks thanks all the women who have contributed to the Heavy Music scene, you all bring in so much talent and have helped to revitalize the scene. We salute all the women that make a difference on a daily basis. All the musicians, models, promoters, artists, photographers/videographers, radio and television hosts, and of course all of you who support Horns Up Rocks! Thanks for keeping the scene alive and sexy! You can always count on us, and to proof this here is a VERY special tribute to all of you! \m/
