ANGERKILL
is not just a band you go see at your local
metal dive, or merely music you hear on a
CD. Its an
enigma deep inside any lover of
music, exposing focused feelings of an
undeniable energetic force. ANGERKILL
is what your feelings can sound like. Sharp
technical ability paired with limitless
creativity, born of a musical bloodline, yields
a solid staple to an thriving Texas metal scene.
ANGERKILL
formed in 1998 by
guitarist/vocalist
David Diaz de Leon. The first EP,
AK
Demonstration: Unscathed was recorded in
2000 with the original lineup. When the
position for bassist came available after
the studio sessions, David's wife,
Jennifer Diaz de Leon joined. After a
few months, things would fall into place
once again. In his journey of musicianship,
David had a partner from the onset. Year
after year of jamming to Pantera, Sepultura,
Metallica and Slayer with his younger
brother would prove to be purposeful. In
need of a drummer one week before the
AK
Demonstration: Unscathed CD release
party,
Frank Diaz de Leon left behind 6 years
of playing, touring and recording with
Grammy winning Tejano and Country artists to
return to his roots and rejoin the ranks of
his big bro.
Although the CD would generate
average reviews, tracks such as "Dead
Weight" and "Anger Power Misery" reached ..3
and ..7 on the worldwide metal charts of
MP3.com. In 2001, ANGERKILL
recorded the a follow up EP entitled
DV8.
It was this EP that turned industry heads,
garnered rave reviews from established metal
websites, brought the band to listening
table of respected metal labels, and created
a fierce following all over Texas. ANGERKILL
played all over Texas behind
DV8
for two years, establishing themselves as
headliners in their hometown of San Antonio,
as well as Laredo, Austin and Fort Worth.
The road since then has been paved with both
nightmares and miracles: death, birth,
divorce, betrayal, loyalty and ultimately
devotion. In September of 2006, ANGERKILL
recruited,
ERK on lead
guitar and backup vocals to complete it's expressive entity.
These four have the chemistry and ability to
easily transcend any prior accomplishments
and success. Through influences ranging
from Mastodon to Metallica, The Cure to
Dream Theater, Anthrax to Slayer, ANGERKILL
births an assaulting vigor of sonance
escape.
