An eruption of pure ecstasy explodes in the form of hard hitting rock and roll and raw rage wrapped in a band called Audio Empire. This collection of clutch players formed in March of 2012 after some lineup changes and the addition of a new singer. Hackensack, NJ based, this band shows no signs of loss momentum proving themselves a force and a fierce self-containing machine. As experienced musicians and professionals, this collaboration exhumes complimentary musicality and harmonious chemistry. Working in unison, each part of this well-oiled machine propels the band forward leaving behind a trail of pumped up fans and satisfied crowds. This fiery foursome excels at crafting a sound both distinct and original. A conduit between beat and melody is Roy Brunston on bass, anchoring the rhythm section with his high energy and attention to detail. On guitar, Abe Ruiz delivers blistering leads and a hard rock riff full of experience that finds the bass line and supports it firmly with a solid grasp. Chris Manfre takes the reins on drums with his powerhouse pocket and precise execution forcing the music to follow his beat and the
sound to curl around each hit cushioning the blow. Lay singer Dave Marcus’s raspy “stop you in your tracks” vocals and his real world self-sacrificing, full bodied lyrical content over a bed of polished musical complexity, and the product is a tangible sound streaming from Audio Empire that is respected and unique while in your face and downright dirty. Audio Empire is an experience. Grab on to Marcus’s melodic gritty vocals and let them guide you through the sound that comes from hard work and dedication to passion. Allow it to seep into your headscape and watch as you can’t help but bang your head and tap your feet to the catchy hooks and overwhelming power of this player band. Allow the energy of Audio Empire to consume you. With musical influences spanning a wide gamut of genres, be prepared for each track on the debut EP “A Taste of Sin” to experiment with sound yet stay true to the heart of hard rock. The heart of hard rock beats loud and proud in this Empire. This Empire rolls in and ignites a fire flamed by the soul of real original music. They will rock your face off. Buckle up and enjoy the ride.

About: A short childhood but one that was to inspire creation; in the form of poetry Johnny Wore Black came to be. As the words spilled out onto the pages, from a chance encounter with an old Spanish guitar, the poetry became music. Childhood recollection in dusty recording studios, gave rise to an opportunity of expression and the foundations for Johnny Wore Black were in place. The creation of music is a basic need, as
each new card is picked up from the table and turned over, so a new tune begins. Once a song is committed to the digital domain it is for you the listener, to reject, accept or choose where it fits in your own story. To me, life is about experience, about research and collection. Each new day is unwritten and anything can happen. Johnny Wore Black explore contrast, light and shade, pain and hope. The lyrics represent a collection of emotions attached to a journey which continues.

Growing up through the ages of the late ‘70’s sound, biting into the Metal of the ‘80’s, taking notice of the ‘90’s Grunge and the offbeat experience of the new Millennium, they have stirred it all together in one neatly solid package. Four of the five members have been in various conceptions of what has finally become KILL ALL CONTROL. Beginning with Creepermode, followed by Concrete Underground, amassing a strong local following in the West Michigan area, becoming a regional headlining act. Charting a new track, Guitarist Geoff Allen, Bassist Casey Gerken, Lead Guitarist Jason Goodwin and Drummer and percussionist, Tim Martin, added lead singer Terry Dewit, completing KILL ALL CONTROL. Each member brings to the table, their own ability and uniqueness. Their knack to work together to create the KILL ALL CONTROL Sound, is www.veroconcepts.com
undeniably a part of their charm. A group effort is always in effect when together at Crunch Berry Hills, the oddball name of a local studio. Having heard the music as youngsters, they took up their musical gifts with a vengeance and determination. With Geoff, Casey and Tim, learning on their own and honing their crafts, Jason took his love affair with the guitar to Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA, while Terry performed multiple shows after winning the Rock Star Project out of Milwaukee WI and USA World Showcase in Las Vegas.

Bio Formed by Cyren Marie And Jeremy Scaggs In 2012. Separately they’ve written songs since the early 90’s. Cyren had a record contract in Nashville at an early age. But due to personal reasons was unable to record at that time. Jeremy Has always liked music and has always been around music just not talented in any instrument. LOL This was a long journey to get to where the band is now. Guitarist Jeff Hacker entered the band mid 2013. We have gone through two bass players and one drummer. All of which left due to their personal reasons. But this year we welcomed Blake Copeland (Bass) and Darrell Pierce (Guitar) into the band. Our Debut E.P. will be out very soon!!

BIO: Emerging from the ashes of previous projects (Absolution, TaperedMind, Soles Dei, Them Lucky Bastards, Phantom In Chicago), the phoenix that is Digital Collapse has risen with veteran finesse in their self-titled debut EP, produced by Clint Lowery (Sevendust, Call Me No One, Dark New Day). The album showcases their knack for writing accessible music that’s not overly reliant on catchy hooks, but on cold hard musicianship. The vocals (Corey Kipps) effortlessly volley between melodic ease and intense screams. Creative guitar lines (Ian Zuckerman, Tyler Metz) breathe a bright but gutsy energy, framed by gritty, crafty drumming (Tom Godin). Global Chaos Magazine | 15
