Comprised of six eclectic personalities, this act's sound derives itself from six individual influences. Kris Keyes leads the way with his harsh hip-hop, somber melodies and riveting chants. Marc Amendola and Jason Bozzi build with searing chords and tear down with concrete riffs. Pounding out the groove is Brendan Kane Duff on bass, and Opus on beats. Rounding out their sound is percussionist and keyboardist Tommy Heltzel, who captures the ultimate finishing touches.
