"Review From France"

Hemorage is an exciting hardcore punk band from San Francisco who are seemingly unafraid of letting their sound descend into pure chaos. Filled with crazed solos, powerful riffs and a general love of destruction Hemorage is a fun listen to say the least...the second you turn Hemorage onto the max you know you're in for a wild and scary ride that will rip your head off and toss it into the circle pit...if you're looking for a heavy punk band to throw your neck out headbanging too Hemorage is the band for you. - Two Guys Metal Review


"Band Review From Turkey"

This San Franciscan band has really good performance, especially the vocals. What an awesome voice, that's the spirit! He's feelin'it it allright! What a hateful-spirited album! Dirty guitar sounds make the album like old school. There are 4 creatures in the album cover, which is black & white. It's kinda like grindcore album covers also there are grind riffs at the tracks. We wish Hemorage a successful career in their music life! - Coffinfeeder Magazine


"The Thunderous Sounds of Hemorage"

"Hemorage has built a great following in the San Francisco Bay Area with their tenacious DIY attitude and in your face metal music. Their hard work and great tunes has a fan base that is spreading throughout the US and across many international borders. These guys are some of the hardest working musicians I’ve seen. Bands like Hemorage deserve to be heard and the best thing about them, besides their music, is their attitude about not following the mainstream!" - Joey Voodoo

"924 Gilman Show Review"

"They had a great intensity and great trash style...I found the singer/ lead guitar player interesting with a despicable me minion shirt and shorts but its cool to see someone be himself. I want to see these guys again for sure. They performed a cover of LMAFOs shots and had they house going crazy." - HaywardHC Underground


"Album Review"

"Frantic metalcore band from right here in the bay area...the playing is top notch, the screaming, and the result of comes straight from the heart, so thumbs up!" - Maximum Rock n Roll


"Hemorage Releases New Studio Endeavor With Accompanying Comic Book"

San Francisco​- Hemorage, an independent hardcore metal band, has released their fourth studio endeavor, a fourteen track collection entitled ‘Pariah.’ Available now on BandCamp, the record is tied directly to an original comic book series of the same name. The first issue of ‘Pariah’ is available for free digital download via Savage People, the outfit’s merchandising business. (It’s also available to purchase physically.)

Founded in 2007, Hemorage has evolved into the truest of independent efforts. The band books their own shows and tours and they print their own merchandise. Furthermore, their artwork, photography, video, and distribution are handled internally as well. Having toured all over the west coast, the band now has ambitions to hit the east coast and Japan in 2016.

Hemorage’s self-sustaining independent effort extends beyond their own, too. Savage People, the outlet they’ve chosen to release the comic book via, does screen printing and merchandising for other bands on an affordable level. Thus, their passions for music expand far beyond hardcore metal. They listen to everything from Slayer to Daft Punk, constantly drawing inspiration from all across the board. The first issue of the comic details the beginning of the adventure of Pariah, a man who has broken free from his cell in the prison of hate in pursuit of freedom. He’s met with pressing decisions, however, such as whether or not to join with his imprisoners or to seek answers from him past instead.

‘Pariah’ the album can be found on BandCamp below. The first edition of the comic book can be found below as well, available for download for free on desktop and mobile devices. Fans can choose to purchase a physical copy of the publication via the Savage People Shop, too, which includes a CD. -

Bio

Hemorage was formed in 2007 by a group of friends at a high school in San Francisco, California. Members of Hemorage are Jon on Lead Guitar/Vocals, Toby on Rhythm Guitar/Backing Vocals, and Beto on Drums. From four different countries (Philippines, Cambodia, and Guatemala), each were brought together by their musical interests and has persisted since then.

Three words best describe their sound: IN YOUR FACE. Their energy-filled stage presence is heavily influenced by metal and punk rock. Hemorage does not conform to one sound and at the same time maintains their described sound. Many who attend a Hemorage show say that they would have an intense and fun time.

Hemorage began their band playing covers at a batting cage room in high school. After a number of created songs, they began gaining recognition in 2010 when playing at a venue called Thee Parkside. On the same year, Hemorage’s fan base began to grow more playing frequent shows at the Submission (once name the Balazo). Since then, there is an increasing audience throughout the Bay Area and various places around the world for Hemorage.

As a member of Hemorage, it is important to stand up for what makes you truly happy and to go hard at it. The band has a strong Do-It-Yourself philosophy. They are also about the philosophy of by the people for the people. From Joey Voodoo’s interview, Hemorage creates their merchandise from their own hands independently. When it comes to putting themselves out there, they will do their hardest to promote themselves by putting flyers everywhere, handing out flyers at events, talking with the people at the shows.

We, Hemorage, don’t call our fans a fan; we call them friends no matter who they are. We love the thrill and excitement of playing on-stage as it gives just as much pleasure as the audience enjoying us, no matter how many attend.
