Up and coming San Diego Metal act, Call of Thousands, just released there debut album 'Into the Coming Storm'. Starting in 2005 as a bunch of local kids trying to make the rock star dreams come true. Now that they have released there album and have played sold out shows to there growing fan base, they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. There sound comes straight from the roots of a pure metal, with hard riffs, thundering guitars, rigid breakdowns, back breaking drums, and deafening scream vocals. Songs like "A Question of faith" and "King" are perfect examples of there genuinely memorable, iron packed music. "King" with its catchy melody and amazing guitar solos is a song hard to forget. "A Question in Faith", going with the hard rhythm and ear piercing vocals.
Playing a bunch of local shows and landing a show at the legendary Whisky A Go Go, they have never left a fan unsatisfied. The Floor crammed with eager kids waiting for the music to start and as soon as the nerves shattering sound begins, the rough and tough, grinding pit clear the floor. Call of thousands has yet to disappoint us and we hope to see great things from them in the future, as we know they will say true to the authentic metal we all know and love.

Bio
With so many labels and subgenres polluting the air, metal looked to be on its last legs. Death-core, Metal-core, and Nu Metal all ruining the genre that we all have held so near and dear to our hearts. The fans started getting bored of the same old regurgitated music being pushed on them day in and day out. Whether it was thrash metal rip offs or mall metal scene bands the industry was at a loss for good old fashioned uncategorized heaviness. Starting out in 2005 we came together as nothing more than metal fans wanting to create music that hadn’t been heard before and what we felt should be on the airwaves instead of the status quo metal for the masses. We have honed our live show into an all out ear shattering assault, filled with memorable riffs and shredding solos and have set out to convert every single person we could make listen to the church of metal. In 2008 we have released our first full length album titled Into the Coming Storm and are looking forward to playing as many shows as we possibly can to promote and spread the words we are hear to preach. Those words are “no categories, just fucking metal.” As a young band we have already surpassed many of our peers and have gone from playing first to headlining in our home town. From selling-out our local haven, the Jumping Turtle with hundreds of people showing up, setting the all-time attendance record with over thousands of dollars made in merch and attendance profit. Our songs are tight and oozing with head banging ferocity unlike anything else. In the words of Pantera and whether your ready or not, “we’re taking over this town.”
