TESTAMENT on CAPITAL CHAOS 2005 Testament is an American thrash metal band from Californi
TESTAMENT on CAPITAL CHAOS 2005 Testament is an American thrash metal band from California. Being one of the more influential American metal bands, they were perhaps the most popular band of that scene to not break into the mainstream. Some of their records nonetheless entered the charts in major markets such as the United Kingdom and Germany. Testament has two Top 40 albums and one Top 50 album to its credit in the UK. Their 1999 album The Gathering also entered the Top 50 in Germany. They had minor top 100 album success in the United States. http://www.testamentlegions.com/
Testament was formed in the San Francisco area in 1983 by guitarist Eric Peterson and his cousin, Derrick Ramirez, also a guitarist, originally using the name Legacy. The band soon recruited bassist Greg Christian, drummer Mike Ronchette, and vocalist Steve Souza. Ramirez was subsequently replaced by guitarist Alex Skolnick, who had studied under bay-area guitarist Joe Satriani. The band released one self-titled 4 song demo in 1986. Ronchette left shortly after the recording and was replaced by Louie Clemente. Steve Souza subsequently left the band to join Exodus, and suggested that Chuck Billy should replace him on lead vocals. While recording their first album, the band was forced to change their name to Testament (which, according to Maria Ferrero in the May 2007 issue of Revolver, was suggested by Billy Milano of S.O.D.) because "The Legacy" was already trademarked by a jazz band.

Testament's first album, The Legacy, was released in 1987 on Megaforce Records. Testament received instant fame within thrash circles and were often compared with fellow bay-area thrash pioneers Metallica. The band quickly managed to increase their exposure by heading out on a successful tour of America and Europe with Anthrax, who were then touring in support of their Among the Living album. On this tour the Live at Eindhoven EP was recorded.

The next album, The New Order, was released in 1988, and found the band continuing in a similar vein. After another successful world tour the band headed back into the studio to record Practice What You Preach. Released in 1989, the album minimized the occult and gothic themes found in the lyrical content of their first two albums, instead focusing on real-life issues such as politics and corruption. The album was the band's most popular to date and even MTV took notice, giving the title track extensive airplay on Headbanger's Ball.

BURN HEAL SCAR on CAPITAL CHAOS 2006 @ The Boardwalk~Orangevale, CA 01/13/2006
http://www.myspace.com/burnhealscar Four talented musicians fill every possible void with guitars (Shaun Eachus), vocals (Skyler Witt), bass (Quentin Garcia), and drums (Tony Revels). Thundering, warm, edgy, and heartfelt are all words that describe the dynamic and colorful pictures created by this group. These are four true musicians who believe that musical notes should not be wasted, and you can hear this philosophy come to life in their music. A certain kind of energy infiltrates their complex layers, while a detached sense of animosity lingers in other moments. The sound of Burn.Heal.Scar can not be easily described to others; you must hear it to understand. Playing throughout Northern California up through Reno Nevada, this group has left audiences stunned with their sheer creativity and raw energy, leaving them with an experience to never be forgotten. http://www.whitephoenixrecords.com/ UNFORTUNATLY, BURNHEALSCAR HAS DECIDED TO CALL IT QUITS. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL OUR FANS, ALL OUR FRIENDS, ALL THE BANDS WE'VE PLAYED WITH, AND EVERYONE THAT CAME TO OUR SHOWS OR HELPED US IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM. AS FAR AS THE FORMER MEMBERS, BEAN(DRUMS) HAD LEFT TO PURSUE HIS PASSION FOR JIU JITSU AND MMA AND TRAIN TO FIGHT FULL TIME. SHAUN ( GUITAR) IS CURRENTLY PUTTING TOGETHER A NEW PROJECT, Q (BASS) HAS JOINED THE NEWLY RE-FORMED DIE TRYING, SKYLER (VOCALS) AND MARTIN( GUITARS) ARE BOTH LOOKING TO START OR JOIN NEW MUSICAL ENDEAVORS. MANY THANKS TO BEAU FERCHAUD- AN AMAZING DRUMMER WHO JOINED THE BAND FOR THE SHORT TIME WE WERE TOGETHER AFTER BEAN LEFT(GET YOUR ASS TO SAC M.F!). ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU ALL FOR THE FUN TIMES, AND WE'LL SEE YOU AROUND. METAL!

BIPOLAR on CAPITAL CHAOS 2006 Spring of 2003 brought the birth of a dark beautiful crossbreed of progressive metal, hardcore and melodic groove. We call it .bipolar.
http://www.myspace.com/bipolar
A force of intense emotion and rage, .bipolar. hit the scene hard and furious. Unbridled stage shows and the release of their debut EP Dumbcane spread their name and music like wildfire throughout California.
Radio stations 91.5 KYDS, 98.5 KRXQ, 106.5 KWOD in Sacramento and 92 KSJO in San Jose picked up on the buzz by playing the demo on their local band shows or in regular rotation.
.bipolar. has a thunderous sound and a stage presence to match.
Going on 5 years now, Bipolar has brought their fans unrelenting, emotionally driven music poured out from their souls.

HIRAX on CAPITAL CHAOS 2005 @ The Pound (RIP)~San Francisco, CA 7/9/2005 for Thrash Agains
HIRAX on CAPITAL CHAOS 2005 @ The Pound (RIP)~San Francisco, CA 7/9/2005 for Thrash Against Cancer show. Also on the bill were LAAZ ROCKIT, BROCAS HELM, ANGER AS ART, KAOS, DEKAPITATOR, AGENT STEEL, MUDFACE, DREAMS OF DAMNATION, IMAGIKA, MYSTIC RAGE, AGENT STEEL, TESTAMENT & NEIL TURBIN'S DEATHRIDERS..
Hirax is an American thrash metal band from Orange County, California. Starting in 1984 under the leadership of vocalist Katon W. De Pena (their most distinctive character and the band's only original member as of 2004), the band played in Los Angeles and San Francisco with the other new thrash metal bands of the area such as Metallica, Exodus, and Slayer. The band was a clear example of the thrash/speed metal/crossover genre.
After releasing some demos, Hirax signed with Metal Blade and debuted with their first full-length, Raging Violence in 1985. The band was composed of Katon W. De Pena (vocals), Scott Owen (guitar), Gary Monardo (bass) and John Tabares (drums).
In 1986, John Tabares left the band and Erick Brecht (brother of D.R.I.'s vocalist Kurt Brecht) joined. After the change, they released their second album, called Hate, Fear And Power under pressure of the label (only having 16 minutes of length for 8 songs).
After this release, the band quit the label and independently released a demo called Blasted In Bangkok in 1987.
But with tensions and disillusions in the band, Katon decided to leave and form a new band with Gene Hoglan (former Dark Angel drummer), and Ron McGovney (former Metallica bassist). They called themselves Phantasm and released a six tracks demo in 1988 (re-issued in 2002 as a CD with the demo and live tracks). After a brief tour with Nuclear Assault, they broke up.
http://www.myspace.com/hirax
In 1989, after Katon left Hirax, they took Paul Baloff (former Exodus frontman) to sing in Hirax, but soon after, they disbanded too.

CATTLE DECAPITATION on CAPITAL CHAOS 2008 @ The Boardwalk~Orangevale, CA 6/21/2008 also on
CATTLE DECAPITATION on CAPITAL CHAOS 2008 @ The Boardwalk~Orangevale, CA 6/21/2008 also on the bill were EMBRACE THE END, CARNIFEX, CONDUCTING FROM THE GRAVE, ARSONISTS GET ALL THE GIRLS & BROADCAST THE NIGHTMARE...
Cattle Decapitation, currently signed to Metal Blade Records, is a San Diego, California-based deathgrind band. Originally founded in 1996, Cattle Decapitation's songs protest the mistreatment and human consumption of animals as well as the abuse of the environment. All members of the group are vegetarians, though their lyrics are focused on subjects such as misanthropy and the genocide of the human race. Through the use of macabre lyrical content (horror, real life lyrics about what they stand for) the members of the band represent their views on animal rights through gore-grind styled lyrics. http://www.cattledecapitation.com/
Over the span of a decade, Cattle Decapitation has forged its not-so-humble beginnings in gore-grind into one of extreme metal's most relentless forces, encompassing a sound as schizophrenic as their record collections but with a determined lyrical stance resolutely damning the ills of humanity. http://www.myspace.com/cattledecapitation
After a couple early line-up shifts, "Human Jerky," Cattle Decapitation's first full-length, was released in 1999 as LP-only by Nevada label Satan's Pimp. The album featured the bass-less trio of Travis Ryan on vocals, Gabe Serbian on guitar and Dave Astor on drums. Serbian and Astor split duties with the ubiquitous arty-grind act The Locust. "Human Jerky" as well as 2000's "Homovore" (released by San Diego's Three One G label) showcased Ryan's obsessively gore-oriented musings laced within his pro-vegetarian/anti-human posture. In keeping with the spirit of the genre as well as the lyrical urgency, the 90's trio was additionally known for its ultra-short songs and unforgettable live performances (Ryan was known to occasionally perform in a mask sewn
of beef jerky). The band procured Venezuelan installation artist Nelson Garrido's arranged pieces of deceased livestock for two unmistakable album covers.

The Black Dahlia Murder (TBDM) is a melodic death metal/metalcore band from Waterford, Michigan, and is a leader in the Detroit music scene.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Dahlia_Murder

After touring with the band on their co-headlining gig with Throwdown and their European dates with Liar, he joined the group full-time. Bart was one of two engineers (the other being Walls of Jericho's Mike Hasty) on the band's first full-length album, Unhallowed.

There are no indications left whether the site will be brought back or not, but for the time being, the band can be found on its MySpace page. Their new album, entitled Nocturnal, was released on September 18, 2007. The album debuted at #72 on the Billboard 200.
