Now I'm not really into Christian anything, but these guys are pretty good heavy mosh kinda hardcore with melodic influence.

The guitarist and the drummer, along with Scott Baker from xOne-Fifthx went on to play in the Indie-rock band Slowdance.Their sound has been described as a mixture of 18 Visions and Strongarm.

Loving Lady Death

Loving Lady Death was a Melodic Metalcore band from Daytona. Their lyrics mostly dealt with dark themes such as horror (vampires or monsters) or depression. They were one of my favorite local bands, but despite my love of this band and knowing the members/being good friends with Gino I really don't have a lot of info to share other than they played a lot of shows and had a pretty decent following out here. Sadly they only put out one EP as a band, but I have also included with this download 2 lost rough demo instrumental tracks that were made before the recording of the EP (one of the 2 songs was never re-recorded for the EP thanks for letting me get these Gino). Some members were in or went on to be in Of A Divergent Blood, Angels & Demons, The Autumn Offering, Severed Existence, Hearts Evolved & Allys.

A Horror Story (king conquer)

A Horror Story were a Metalcore band formed in early 2002, in Naples FL. They went by the name A Horror Story from 2002-2006 and this is one of their 1st demos. I got my copy from when they used to be Daytona regulars all the time at the Metal Lounge, some of the times playing with the PA metalcore band The Storm. Down the line they changed their name to King Conquer, for awhile they kept the music style the same but these days they have adapted a more "deathcore" kinda sound & are signed to Mediaskare Records. Since the times I have seen them to now there's been tons of line-up changes (example: there's been like around 4 vocalists I believe) so I don't know the line-up of this Demo. This has my favorite song by them called "return of the cannonball" which they don't like playing live anymore.

Angels & Demons

One of my all time favorite local bands. A&D was a short lived chaotic melodic metalcore band from Edgewater/Daytona that lasted from 2004-2005. Despite only being active for roughly a years length of time they gathered a strong following around here & played a decent amount of shows (a lot of which was with follow Daytona bands Excarnation & Amongst The Fallen). Sometime before breaking up brett & jon left the band due to conflicts with the other members, after they departed A&D attempted to continue on as a 3 piece but it just wasn't meant to be. Members of Loving Lady Death, Of A Divergent Blood, Catalepsy, Hearts Evolved & Khann.

A&D was:
brett bortle - vocals
ben Sutton- bass
matt Sutton - guitar
jon ponder - guitar
cory chivers - drums

Also included in this download is the only Hearts Evolved song. H.E. was a Melodic Post-Hardcore band formed side by side with Angels & Demons that included both brett & jon. They were working on an EP but only ended up recording this one song and never played any shows. Mike & Micah went on to be in the band Allys.

The Autumn Offering

These are the original Autumn Offering recordings that have disappeared from the minds of most, I got these from when I was in High school with some of them and would go out to their local shows before they got signed. I really can't get into anything past these recordings (minus Revelations) because It's just not the same to me, not that any of the later stuff is bad check it all out.

Up In Arms - 4 Song Demo. They released only this one demo and after some touring they became The Autumn Offering. I would like to thank my buddy Gino Marasco for letting me make a copy of this demo which until now was lost and he is about the only person left that had it. Please pardon the quality this is very old and came from a cassette tape that is not of the best quality, there is some hissing, skips and such. *The release of this originates on this blog I've seen it pop up other places*

UIA was:
Sean Robbins - bass
Mike Bortle - drums

The Autumn Offering - 2001 demo. This is the very 1st recording under the name The Autumn Offering, this features the original line up of which none were in the band at the end of its life (some don't even get credit on the Autumn Offering Wikipedia page). This is personally my favorite thing they have ever recorded it's far more raw and leaning more towards the metalcore sound than later heavy metal stuff.

TAO was:
Sean Robbins - bass
Dennis Miller - vocals
George Moore - guitar
Tony Cesaro - guitars
Mike Bortle - drums

The Autumn Offering - 2003 demo. Sound wise this demo comes off a lot more along the lines of what their 1st LP sounds like than the first demo. This Demo is also the debut of member Matt Johnson who became the longest lasting member.
