Entropist

This is a melodic thrash/death metal band formed in Austin, Texas by seasoned veterans/active players here in the Austin scene, all members hailing from their own respective bands and stage experience. Beginning as a demo recorded by James in Arlington, Texas alongside other session players, the project came to full fruition with the addition of the other official members within the following months. The goal was to create a solid metal outfit with a strong emphasis on technicality and musicianship, with an equal focus on song-writing and feel. After his somewhat lengthy stints in Texas bands Vesperian Sorrow and Batcastle, James Hardin sought to create a new project with all original material that melds a passion for aggressive melodic thrash/death with the guitar playing of the neoclassical-oriented players of the 80s (and beyond). As fellow musicians/friends Rusty, Jamy, Joel and Oscar joined and time went by through regular rehearsals, the project would eventually become a full band comprised of experienced musicians ready to perform live.
