Forced Asphyxiation

Forced Asphyxiation was created in the winter of 2007 by Alex(percussion) and Brian(guitar) who sought to birth a new project formed around the foundation of heavy riffing and solid arrangement. Writing songs with sheer determination and a philosophy of playing shows with no other objective than to spread the sweet stench of Cannabonolic matter. Just before recording their first demo in the summer of 2011, after years of time spent as an active two piece band, they completed the line up with Ryan on Bass (Soul Remnants, Valasyrka, Systematic Suicide). He quickly proved that he had what it takes to wield a bong with the likes of these misanthropic pot heads and the three soon began forming a thick wall of smoke to occlude the lungs of the non-believers. In the fall of 2011 and with the help of Cape Cod thrashers Led to the Grave, both bands embarked on a 2 week long tour down the East Coast shredding local bars and making a name. Coming back from their first tour, feeling matured and ready to begin a new chapter, it was decided something was still missing from the band. In the beginning of 2012 after some time spent in search of an additional guitar player with lungs resinated enough to match the half-life of these degenerates, Tom of Soul Remnants/Armory was added to complete this coagulation of insanity. After finalizing their line up into a full four piece, Forced Asphyxiation embarked on their second east coast tour known as the "North East Smoke Feast," forcing their ideals on those unwilling to inhale their message of brutality. Tom's reign in the band developed a more powerfully aggressive sound that gave drive to immediately begin recording a sleuth of savagery. Since recording the album Tom parted ways with the band and since losing such a vital appendage to their sound they soon found Sam from “Facefull of Shotgun” and his solo work “Ages In Oblivion”. Taking the crops to yield, we flew to Colombia in South America to play the annual Bogota Grind & Death Festival!
