These two sets of teenage brothers are more than meets the eye. Since becoming
Age Of Evil in February 2007, they have delivered a metal show unlike any other,
refusing to let their age get in the way of what they hope to accomplish. Lyrically
to musically and every way in between, the group is actively redefining metal
by writing music with purpose and lyrics with substance and meaning. When they
were named 2007's "Best Newcomer" by Heavy Magazine Germany, it became
clear that nothing will stand in their way.
Their debut album "Living
A Sick Dream", brings old school metal
into a new era by giving a refreshing twist to the ripping guitar solos, powerful
drum beats, energetic vocals and booming bass. They stay true to those who
have gone before them while creating a sound that is uniquely their own. Citing
influences like Slayer, Motley Crue, Anthrax and Dream Theater, Age Of Evil
does their best to learn from other metal greats. Still in high school, the
young metal prodigies of Age Of Evil still find themselves doing "normal" teenage
activities.
Age Of Evil recently returned from Germany where they played the opening spot
at "Bang Your Head!!!" festival. The festival was also home to other
bands like Heaven And Hell, W.A.S.P. Hammerfall, Nazareth and Amon Amarth.
The band received the call to duty just twelve days before the festival would
start. At the festival, Age Of Evil, as always, did not disappoint. Altough
it was different and unlike anything they had ever experienced, they delivered
their most impressive and electryfying, crowd-pleasing performance. Their talent
and extreme knowledge of everything metal was just icing on the cake for their
audience in Germany. Before they had even left to return home they had been
invited back to perform again next year.
While in Germany, Age Of Evil received plenty of attention from the press:
German and American magazines and e-zines couldn't get enough of these heavy
metal teens. Different producers and equipment companies such as Gibson, Hughes
and Kettner showed interest in the band as well. They also met with producer
Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath) and began to build
a solid network with many of the other bands that also attented the festival.
Making a splash in the music industry is definitely on the agenda for these
two sets of brothers. They aspire to have their music withstand the test of
time and stand apart from the norm regardless of the age of their peers. Currently,
Age Of Evil plans to continue playing shows, writing new music and hopefully
inspiring other teens to try their hand in the music industry: quite impressive
goals for four almost-normal teenage boys. It is safe to say that metal and
the music industry will never be the same after Age Of Evil has their way with
it.
