Melodic Death Metal

Band

ALS is a modern melodic death metal band from Budapest that released its debut EP titled "To Whom It May Concern" in early-2007. Drawing influence from many sub-genres of heavy metal, the Hungarian six-piece integrates a variety of stylistics from aggressive fast-paced guitar riffs, complex time signatures and energetic growling to acoustic interludes, clean vocals and breakdowns.

BIOGRAPHY: Nedo, Zsolt and Dani decided to form a band in their high school years, and started out with playing Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and AC/DC songs. While constantly looking for fellow musicians to fill in the post of drummer and vocalist, the three guitarists began writing their own music. In 2004, after they went to a neverLAND gig, they got in touch with the vocalist/guitarist, Maci and asked him to join ALS. By this time the influence of progressive, death metal and a bit of hardcore grew stronger, thus finding a drummer who is able to tackle the often unconventional rhythmic structures and keep up the fast tempo was far from easy. After recruiting Stavi in 2006, ALS began working on their debut EP and started giving their first shows. In 2007, with Bálint (who appeared on the EP as a guest vocalist) coming aboard to share vocal duties with Maci, the line-up of ALS became complete.
