After a short period of time, Fredrik had to leave due to some personal difficulties.
There is more than one band with the name Hands: [1] Shane Ochsner, Josh Silbernagel, Chris Schwartz and Jerik Hendrickson are collectively Hands, a band that combines circling atmospheric guitars punctuated with hard hitting progressions. They are a band in which rock and roll meets ambient hardcore and warm silvery singing rivals hardcore screams. The warmth of their songs is in strong contrast to the raw biting North Dakota weather that surrounds them.
1) Kontinuum Icelandic Ambient Metal
Kontinuum started as the brainchild of Birgir Thorgeirsson, a founding and current member of dark metal act Potentiam. The seed of Kontinuum started way back in 2001 when Birgir teamed up with former Potentiam drummer Kristjan Heidarsson to record an EP called Burned and Battered under the band name Pornea. This was an experimental metal project mixing doom with punk and dark atmospheric metal.
There is more than one artist with this name. 1) Callisto is a Finnish experimental metal band (Turku, Finland 2001-present). Trying to fit the post-metal outfit Callisto into one single category hardly does the band justice. Founded in 2001, the sextet play a timeless, downbeat yet melancholic style of music that is rich in nuances, draws from numerous sources and doesn't really have any obvious fellow creatures or points of comparisons.
Boss Keloid are inspired by ardent, progressive and obtuse groove. Honest, raw and intense. Fat, dirty, obtuse riff after riff with El Duce vocals poured over the top. Think Keelhaul with both Crowbar and Mastodon in a headlock. Chris Morris and Eugene S Robinson look on and applaud. We released our debut opus 'Angular Beef Lesson' in September 2010 featuring riffy nuggets such as Tension R.I.B, Coin Snorter and Spurt Reynolds.
