Aramazd is a folk/industrial metal band formed
in 2000 in Yerevan, Armenia.
Aramazd emarged by Artashes Mkrtchyan (a.k.a. Aramazd).
Aramazd combines Armenian traditional folk music with the drive and
brutal extremity of such generes as industrial, black metal, trash
metal using such non conventional instruments like Armenian duduk,
zurna, dhol, shvi and such.
Initially Aramazd consisted of two members Aramazd and Macab and they
used to play old style raw black metal but following Ma

It's all began in 1993. Being influenced by the Napalm Death, Cannibal
Corpse, Morbid Angel, Pungent Stench, Disharmonic Orchestra, Atrocity,
Righteous Pigs etc., we decided to play brutal, very unusual music for
Armenia. Mostly metal bands were playing thrash and heavy metal. We
(Doom & Festerdead) were involved in the thrash-band called Demon
Spirit. I can describe them as an armenian copy of Slayer. After some
abortive attempts to play more brutal music, we made a decision to
leave Demon Spirit and make our own band. So, we started to find other
members. The metal scene was rising in Armenia in early 90th, and those
who wish to play in some band were a lot. But nobody wanted to play
grind core/death-metal. The wo

Hexen is an L.A. based metal
band that fuses the elements of Melody,
Heaviness, Speed, and Technicality within the lair of Thrash.
Started out in 2003 when the southern California scene was just a baby,
Hexen soon became a key player in the metal re-emergence. Playing club
after club, independently releasing EP after EP of newer and constantly
evolving material, they stood in the middle of the over-saturation as
LA’s prime Melodic Thrash Metal band. Persevering through line-up
changes, the band recruited better and better musicians along the way.
Now backed by a label; Old School Metal Records, the band will finally
showcase a compilation of
their best tracks onto the world s

With the demise of Andre C.
Avanessian's solo folk metal project and a
one year hiatus, Andre got together with some friends to jam on one
majestic night in July of 2006. Some days after, Andre had a detailed
conversation with an old jamming partner and longtime friend Arin
Zakarian. The two decided to mesh their musical talents together
through the formation of a band, something both had desired for quite
some time.
The Birth of

At first they started out rewriting
some of Andre's old music but soon

It all began in 2003, when
Vladimir, a 16 year old heavy
metal
fan,stumbled across an Emperor cd in a music shop and after buying and
listening to it realized that it was what’s good for his ears. He also
realized that he not only wants to listen to that kind of music but
also has the urge to create and play it, which pushed him to buy his
first electric guitar. As time passed, his musical taste changed from
Iron Maiden, Zeppelin and Manowar to darker and heavier bands like
Emperor, Opeth, Mayhem, Katatonia etc. Gradually his guitar skills
increased too and also did increase his desire to have his own band,
until one day, in 2005, he got acquainted with Aleksander, yet another
extreme metal addict (Dark Funeral, Marduk, etc…) who knew how to
handle a gui
