Press
"Simply put....BRUTAL! Music to make babies to...really angry, dysfunctional babies. Check these guys out!" - Kurt Baron 94.1 FM WJJO
"Intense vocals and guitar, backed by a solid rythm section, Potters Field, is dark, ominous, and powerful metal for the twenty-first century. Brutally passionate, their music grabs you by the throat and commands your attention." - Susan Masino- Wisconsin Music News

Bio
"Then Judas, which had betrayed Him, saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests ... and they took counsel, and bought with them the potters field to bury strangers in."
Madison, Wisconsin. Formed in early 2003 from a diverse background of metal bands, the goal of Potter’s Field was to create music that was aggressive, sometimes melodic, and always challenging while bypassing rock n' roll clichés and ego. Early 2004 Potter’s Field began playing their first shows, and by April 2004 was found in the studio recording their first four song demo.
Potter’s Field has quickly earned a solid reputation of being a top band of notable talent in the Wisconsin music scene. The band continues to receive airplay from 94.1 fm WJJO and 89.9 fm WORT in the southern Wisconsin area, earned the respect of Jimmy Bower ("SUPERJOINT RITUAL", "DOWN") and other such national bands as "DRY KILL LOGIC," opened for several national acts such as "DOPE", and brought other national acts to Madison such as "EYEHATEGOD" to help promote the metal scene. In the summer of 2005 they added their first major sponsor "SKYY Vodka" and their song “Come Around” was featured in a Gary Fisher Mountain Bike television commercial.
Potters Field has a severe dedication to true metal music and its fans. The band promotes their own "Metal-Fests," brings national metal acts to Madison, and arranges bus transportation to their distant gigs for fans.
Mid 2005 efforts were focused on finishing production on their first full-length 11 song self-titled release and spreading the message.
With influences ranging from established icons like Slayer and Pantera to Lamb of God and Superjoint Ritual, Potters Field has an approach that is uncompromisingly aggressive and darkly melodic.
In a music scene dominated more by copycats and clichés than by talent, Potter’s Field carves a hardcore path through the hype and ego. Ferocious, intricate, and unforgiving, Potters Field is a much needed reminder of what American metal is all about.
