NORTH is the moniker of the Arizona-based atmospheric sludge metal quintet. Formed by drummer Zachary Hansen, bassist Evan Leek, and guitarist Ty Engle as an instrumental trio in 2005, NORTH added guitarist Matthew Mutterperl and self released their EP "Siberia" in the Summer of 2006, followed by extensive touring. In 2007 the group released their follow up EP "Ruins," noted for exploring a darker sound previously hinted at on "Siberia". After adding keyboardist Peter Ridgeway and vocalist Kyle Hardy, the critically acclaimed "What You Were" was released in July 2008 by Toledo, Ohio-based Cavity Records, followed by two years of various tours throughout the U.S. Not shortly thereafter, Ty Engle left the band, and writing for the next full length began in January 2010. Pete left amicably in 2011, and guitarist Kyle Szostek was welcomed later that year. Their fourth album, The Great Silence, was themed around the question of extraterrestrial life and saw an August 2012 release with six weeks of tour support covering much of the US. 2013 saw the departure of vocalist Kyle Hardy as well as guitarist Kyle Szostek, leaving the band as a three-piece with Evan Leek assuming both vocals and bass. Their 4-song EP Metanoia is the first form of output from the newly-minted trio and features a focused, stripped-down attack, amplified with soaring vocals and loud, jarring riffs. The band self-released Metanoia on March 11, 2014, returning to a more active tour schedule than they have in years previous.

NORTH is a four-piece Industrial Metal band from Chicago that was formed in 1993 by producer/engineer, drummer, and keyboardist Brian Eaton. North uses technology to the hilt, giving the band its industrial strength rock sound, but there’s more hiding below the surface. North’s vocalist Don Grillo manipulates his voice in unearthly ways, scowling and screaming, drifting into harmonies then laying his soul bare. Bassist Nick Sanzeri knocks the listener flat with intricate bass lines coming up from the depths. Classically trained, Sanzeri is the perfect compliment to Eaton’s rhythmic base. Jon Studtmann has the duty of filling in the high parts with searing guitar work. Equal parts of metal and rock mixed with a style all his own, Studtmann uses his guitar as an emotional Richter scale, reversing the feel of a tune with the changing of a note. Eaton’s samples provide an overall gothic feel to the band’s debut disc, Genocidal World. 4. A band by the name of North also existed for a short time in 1998 and recorded one 7" EP for the MindWalk Recording label. Featuring former members from Elements of Need, I Am Heaven, Goodbye, Blue Monday, and Lollycolumn. 5. NORTH are also four local musicians from Melbourne, Australia - Alf, Beau, Joel and Thanh - doing their own thing in the music business. 6.
