Awaken Demons

Everything started in the summer of 2005, when Nick and Massimiliano (Sentence's member) decided to begin a new project, a new band, focused on a common message, but it was just an idea, nothing of really concrete. After a couple of months Enrico (Sentence's member) joined the band and we started to write a couple of songs, but the problem was not resolved. We couldn't find a drummer for almost 1 year...but one day, Raffaele (Ex Reprisal) joined with us, and the line up was almost completed.

Jamie's Elsewhere

Jamie's Elsewhere is from Sacramento, California, and was formed after the demise of Mozart Season in 2005 and are currently signed to Victory Records. Their sound is mellower than Mozart Season was, but still incorporate keyboard/piano elements. Some have compared Jamie's Elsewhere with bands such as Chiodos because of the ambient rock sound combined with raw screams and vocal variation. However, on their latest album, They Said a Storm Was Coming, their sound has been compared to the flourishing sound which hosts bands like Of Mice & Men and Asking Alexandria.
