2012/2013 comes along and we are playing with all the badass Bay Area bands you can think of. We had a brief rad tour to LA. We got a music video in the works and many more shows. Thanks to the continued support of metalheads everywhere we are allowed to keep partying. Thanks to everybody for making our shows epic and spreading the word!!
2014- "Steel Backbone" EP is released. We get huger.

A Thousand Shall Fall
Metal
Santa Cruz
Divergent, uncompromising, and absolutely punishing; Santa Cruz, California’s “A Thousand Shall Fall” stand poised to continue what they have done for years. Create music untethered to the whims of labels, magazines, or blogs. To create metal that is unafraid to experiment, to enjoy itself, and to humiliate the inadequacy of environment. “A Thousand Shall Fall” greeted 2013 with the release of “In the Shadow of the Mighty,” they continue their growth and evolution in 2014 with the release of “Horizon.” Having recently wrapped production of their latest release the band is currently hard at work cementing tour plans and crafting the band’s first full length album for 2015.

Elektrix
Thrash
Salinas
What started out as just jam sessions here and there throughout summer 2011,
turned into REAPER. It started with Luis and Cristian doing covers, then in July, former Pennies For Pounds lead guitarist/vocalist Daniel, came in to help out on drums.
After a few shows, our material became more solid. By summer 2012, we recorded our 4 song demo, which is up for free on ReverbNation. com.
Summer of 2013, we recorded our first album Morbidity. We recorded in Soledad CA with Chriz Alcaraz's(CitySinAngels Bassist) as our producer. We released the album in October 2013, which is $5 at every show, and available for listening on reverbnation.
We used to be called REAPER, but as of summer 2013, we changed our name to Elektrix. People had a hard time finding us on facebook, reverb nation, etc., so we came up with a more distinct and unique name that best fit the band and the genre.
We love playing shows with just about any band of any style, so if you are looking for a band to add to your bill, hit us UP!
We'll be there \m/
