Members: Tim Snook - Vocals Alex Kelly - Guitar Jakub Muhle - Bass Dan Koppy - Drums Unrelenting. Uncompromising. Unstoppable. From the ashes of various now defunct MINNESOTA bands, comes a new blood to the twin cities metal arena....Reaping Asmodeia. In a genre that is defined by over saturation and brainless musical structures, they vow to step up and set themselves aside from the trend of cookie cutter metal bands and typical over use of open chords. While most bands follow one route; either technically inclined music and a bland and lifeless live show or vis a versa, these minnesota winter bred metallers inject into their performance exactly what they want their music to convey...intensity, anger, and pure emotion. Through both their music and live performance, this machine is here to prove a very blunt point...that you do not have to follow trends to turn heads

Harsh Reality are a little-known, proto-prog band formed in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, in 1968 out of the remnants of the Freightliner Blues Band. The band consisted of Mark Griffiths and Dave Jenkins on guitars, Alan Greed on lead vocals and organ, Roger Swallow on drums, and Steve Miller on bass and backing vocals. They released a single for Philips Records in 1968 before releasing their only album, Heaven and Hell, also on Philips in 1969. A final single followed soon after, before the band split in 1969.
