About Assacre
ASSACRE is a one man fantasy/progressive metal performance project from Austin, Texas. ASSACRE has shared stages with Lightning Bolt, the Locust, Dan Deacon, the Sword, the Gossip, Japanther, Best Fwends, Paper Rad, At All Cost, Horse the Band and Zom Zoms.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Ben Aqua created ASSACRE as an outlet for his fascinations with extreme and experimental music and performance art. After releasing a demo in 2004 entitled Impossibly Silent, ASSACRE began making a name for himself throughout Texas with his wild, confrontational, and unpredictable performances. He is often extravagantly costumed in concert and in photographs. The costumes, which he creates himself, result in the visual aspect of the project becoming as important as the musical.
ASSACRE ambitiously toured the USA in the summer of 2005 in support of his first full-length release, Fantastic Illusions Worth Dying For (Awthum Records, August 2005). The album features 8 tracks of fantasy, death, and thrash metal mixed with bizarre, abstract sound collages, displaying a wide array of musical influences - from Death to Klaus Nomi to Merzbow to Sun Ra.
ASSACRE's festival performances include the South By South West Music Festival in 2005 in Austin, Texas and the Homo A-Go-Go Festival in 2006 in Olympia, Washington.
