ÅT WÅR + NERVO CHAOS LIVE at THE ABYSS

ÅT WÅR

At War was formed in 1983 by guitarist Shawn Helsel, drummer Dave Stone and vocalist Paul Arnold. Originally trying out vocalists the band quickly decided that the brutal form of metal they had envisioned could only be brought forth by Arnold’s growling vocals.

June of 1985 saw the release of At War’s first demo entitled “Eat Lead“. The two song demo consisted of the songs “Rapechase” and what has turned out to be At War’s anthem, “Eat Lead” and immediately received excellent reviews from fanzines and magazines; it was high on rotation on many college radio stations in the United States and had an even better reception Overseas. It was because of this demo that At War had been dubbed by Spin Magazine as “America’s answer to Motorhead“. This demo garnered At War much attention and an appearance on the now legendary compilation “Speed Metal Hell” issued by the relatively new label from California, New Renaissance Records for the song “Eat Lead.” This compilation is the Holy Grail among metal collectors all over the world.

NERVO CHAOS

Fed-up with the entire trend flooding the scene, NERVOCHAOS was born on the fall of 1996, with the idea of creating aggressive and chaotic music. NERVOCHAOS gained cult status in the extreme music scene due to their hard work over the past years, offering a sonic extravaganza in their unique way.

NERVOCHAOS has nine full length studio albums out, and is constantly touring worldwide to promote their releases, doing around 100 concerts per year from clubs to festivals.
