Anger As Art

With a recent signing spree of a new generation of Thrash Metal bands, many of them are heard paying homage to those who paved the way for them. The above stated quote was given to ANGER AS ART by one of these 'up and coming acts'. While firmly a part of the new generation, ANGER AS ART has roots in the formative days of Thrash.

AAA's founding member is Steve Gaines - a thrash metal veteran associated
with Abattoir, Bloodlust, Tactics, Bitch, Dreams Of Damnation, and others. In
2004, a demo CD gave way to one of the most aggressive and angry bands to come out of Los Angeles in decades - literally.

"It was started as a vehicle - a catharsis of sorts - to let some songs I wrote be
heard" says Gaines. "And the response was so favorable, that I had to put a
band together - there was too much demand. So, no looking back. With Anger
As Art, we march forward fearlessly".

With the demo CD repackaged along with bonus live tracks, ANGER AS ART
released their debut CD in February 2006 on Old School Metal Records. This
album - which was warmly received by the thrash metal community - couldn't
even give hint to the masterpiece that followed. "Callous And Furor" was
released in November 2006 - further cementing AAA's foundation in old school thrash/speed metal.

Now in 2008, AAA is in an enviable position. "There is too much demand to
play around the world. So much in fact that we will have to postpone the
recording of our 3rd album so that we can play in Europe, in Latin America, the Orient, and across the USA," says Gaines. With William Rustrum - and now joined by legendary rhythm section Dave Chedrick and Angelo Espino
- Anger As Art will be bringing their brand of anger inspired thrash
metal to the world this year.
