Facing the Sun

Facing the Sun came together as a band in 2007 when some like-minded, blood thirsty folk decided that they wanted to redefine what metal is today. The drummer and singularity known as J, had a vision for this group for nearly a decade. After the arduous process of playing and touring he knew what he had to do.

Redefine metal. Redefine the world's concept of death.

It finally all came together, when rising from his charred abode, through the ashes of our house which burned to nothing, came Facing the Sun.

J united with his demonic brother, Kevin, to seek the idea which he had sought. The project pushed forward with the shredding talents of one Joe Cerbone. Also at the forefront of the band, was the rigid thrash rhythms of Rico Colon. Supporting the death, Brian Cushing pounds forth on the low ends of the bass. The five would then unite to bring metal to the people. One might reflect upon the mission statement of two wise brothers, "We're on a mission from God." Though, our inspiration came a bit further south ... There birthed the melodic streams of death and thrash, and the band quickly rose up to destroy the scene.

The influences fueling the fire have come from all corners, metal, jazz, blues, classical ... you can hear it all in Facing the Sun's music.

And so with brutal riffs composed of all fields of death, thrash, and old school metal, here stands Facing the Sun.

Much like Prometheus, we have brought the inferno ...
