Stigma Strain

Stigma Strain is a groove/melodic metal band formed in 2011. The four-piece blends the best elements of American groove with the bone-chilling, dark sounds of melodic European metal. Stigma Strain possesses the technical ability and song writing prowess to rival that of its peers. Along with its aggressive, heart pounding sound; Stigma Strain has a live show that is second to none. “Larger than Life” is the resounding mantra that is held within every member of the band. Fans of the Nashville based quartet will find something that they can relate to in both a live setting and on tape. Each member exudes a level of care and professionalism to fans and members of the music community alike, treating each individual that comes in contact with the band not only as fellow fans of heavy music but more so as friends and extended family. Such is evident with wins for Best New Artist and Metal Song of the Year for the track “Lost” at the 2012 Music City Mayhem Awards. Upon the release of their debut EP “Patient Zero” in March of 2012, Stigma Strain received stellar reviews from fans and critics alike propelling the group to headlining local events as well as opening for national acts such as Straight Line Stitch, Super Bob, Shadows Fall, God Forbid, Trumpet the Harlot and Thy Will Be Done. 2013 is shaping up to be a year of new heights for the band, as they are currently planning tours as well as their first full length album.
