FULL BLOWN CHAOS:
Full Blown Chaos self-released their first EP in 2001, with the lineup of Joe White (vocals), Mike Facci (guitar), Ed Conroy (bass), and Jeff Facci (drums), on Conroy’s Jailhouse Records label. By the time they released their second EP, “Prophet Of Hostility”, on Hatebreed frontman Jamey Jasta’s Stillborn Records label, White was replaced by new vocalist Ray Mazzola.
On October 19th, 2004, Full Blown Chaos released Wake the Demons and have since toured with such acts as Hatebreed, Terror, Sick Of It All, Madball, Himsa, Napalm Death & many others. “Wake The Demons” was described as “songs of inner-strength, backed with riffage that hug hairpin turns and a dynamite-triggering rhythm section.”
In 2006, Full Blown Chaos released their follow up, “Within The Grasp Of Titans” with Eric Rachel on producer/engineer duties. The theme of songs of inner-strength was present on this album as well.
On June 8th, 2007, Full Blown Chaos announced a new deal with Ferret Music, as well as their first offering with the label, “Heavy Lies The Crown”, scheduled to be released August 21, 2007.

FIRST BLOOD:
Trustkill Records is proud to announce the addition of FIRST BLOOD to the Trustkill Records family. While Trustkill plans to unleash the band’s furious hardcore with crushing, metallic guitar riffs and blood-curdling vocals to the world, FIRST BLOOD is not an unknown band by any means, featuring ex-Terror bassist Carl Schwartz on vocals. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, FIRST BLOOD formed in early 2002 from the ashes of Sworn Vengeance, a band in which Carl served time.
Even without having played many live shows, FIRST BLOOD has quickly made a strong impact throughout the modern hardcore scene. The group landed their first show sharing the stage with legendary members of The Cro-Mags performing as The Age of Quarrel, and made a notable appearance at Hellfest 2003. Previously releasing material on Division36 (Bridge 9) Records and Deathwish Inc, FIRST BLOOD impressed many for their brutal delivery and in your face lyrics dealing with both social and political issues.
The year 2006 saw FIRST BLOOD on a near non-stop global assault, embarking on tours throughout the USA, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Mexico while sharing the stage with notable bands such as The Comeback Kid, Ignite, This Is Hell, Sick Of It All, Stretch Arm Strong, Agnostic Front, Hatebreed, Exodus, Napalm Death, The Black Dahlia Murder, Despised Icon, and many more. The band continues their worldwide touring regimen into 2007, promoting their debut full-length CD release entitled “Killafornia” on Trustkill Records.
Carl talks about the signing to the label saying, “Josh (Grabelle, Trustkill Pres) approached me about releasing something on Trustkill. I was psyched as he did such a great job promoting Terror, but because of my obligations to that band I had to say no. When I recently left Terror, Josh and I continued our discussion and decided to go full speed ahead and make FIRST BLOOD a full-time endeavor.â€
Carl, a main contributor to FIRST BLOOD’s lyrics and music along-side founding guitarist Kyle Dixon (Alcatraz, ex-Embrace The End), elaborates: “Most of my lyrics deal with topics important to me; the ups and downs, frustrations and discontent with certain things in this world. Hopefully people can relate to my words and realize that they are not alone, and become inspired and confident enough to stand for what they believe to find a place for themselves in this world.â€
A staunch supporter of veganism, Carl is involved with PETA/PETA2, with an eye-opening video interview appearance on their web site and in promotional DVDs, as well as full page print appearances in Decibel and Revolver Magazine, helping to make kids more aware of the vegan lifestyle. Currently, Carl is developing an international resource for vegans and vegetarians called vegan411.com, which will be an online directory of veg-friendly restauraunts, grocery/health food stores, recipes, products, and more.

SINCE THE FLOOD:
“I checked out Since the Flood’s MySpace page and learned the following: They are five unhappy-looking guys who love wearing black t-shirts of other bands also made up of unhappy guys in black t-shirts. They pose for LOTS of band photos and seem very proud of their tattoos (the singer has tricep ink of the band Blood for Blood, cited as an “influenceâ€). Some songs have titles like “Strength,†“No Compromise,†and “I Am Revenge.†The band is headquartered in New England and favors a stylized, “distressed†font for their logo. Finally, they each shop at Banana Republic and are 100 percent gay. Now you have all the info you need about Since the Flood.”

ENDSTAND:
Endstand was formed early 1996 in a small town called Riihim..ki based in Southern parts of Finland – 60 kilometers away from Helsinki. The basic idea was to create something passionate and interesting to kill the boredom of our unemployed lives. after practicing for 6 months we did the first shows playing with our beloved friends from Sweden, Outlast. Ever since we’ve been playing constantly – Over ten European tours done, one tour in Japan and numerous shows in Finland have been a base for the strong following we have nowadays. We are a fine example of hard work paying off. Even when there has been only ten people attending our shows, we’ve given our everything to please them – and next time there has been three times more people. Also several releases of different labels have been spreading the word of Endstand and finally on the last two recordings, Hit and Run 12″/CDEP and Burning Bridges we’ve accomplished the sound we’ve been driving for in studio, too. Still, the best stuff is still to be released… Endstand has shared the stage with lots of great bands such as Sick Of It All, Refused, Battery, Strike Anywhere, Hope Conspiracy, Entombed, Nine, Catharsis, As Friends Rust, Terror, Tragedy, Section8, Converge, Most Precious Blood, Walls Of Jericho, Bane, Eighteen Visions, Ensign, Throwdown, Rotten Sound, Cult Of Luna, Cataract, Heaven Shall Burn, Comeback Kid, Buried Inside, etc.
