Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, Asphyxia are a young five-piece metal band devoted to creating diverse and original heavy metal music. With intricate riffs and melodies, technical drums and brutal vocals, Asphyxia blend their wide range of influences together to create a unique brand of progressive, melodic and brutal metal.
Founding members Rohan and Browny created Asphyxia in January 2005. Young and inexperienced, they experimented with different sounds, but were always interested in the metal scene. 8 months later they enlisted Bonno, who brought a mature sound to the band with his technical fretwork. Early in 2006, Zach was brought in to the group as bassist and vocalist, adding his gutsy death metal growls to the mix. In late 2006, Marko took over bass responsibilities, bringing his technical and catchy bass lines to the group. The band continued writing and refining their music rigorously to ensure they were prepared to make a lasting impact in the local metal community.
2007 marked the beginning of Asphyxia's live performance career. During this year the band played 1-2 shows per month around Adelaide in reputable venues such as the UniBar, Lizard Lounge and Fowlers, with many popular bands such as Mythyca, Deafening Silence, Verona (NSW), Skintilla, Closed Casket, Black Like Vengeance (Vic), StigMARTYR and Double Dragon. The band quickly built a strong reputation for providing entertaining and explosive live sets and received positive feedback for their musical competency at such a young age. In July 2007, when the band members were only 15 and 16, Asphyxia began recording their debut full-length album at Against The Grain Studios. Striving for ultimate perfection, the band took around 4 months to complete the album. December 8th 2007 was to be drummer Rohan's last show with Asphyxia as he had decided to leave the band due to personal reasons. A hill had now appeared for the band to climb; without a drummer and anticipating the launch of the debut album.
2008 opened up with new horizons, a hefty search had found a new drummer in Brody Green, and the band marched into the new year. March 8 marked the official launch of the bands self titled debut 9 months in the waiting, and much to the delight of the band, fans and others alike; the launch only helped to cement Asphyxia as one of Adelaide's premier young bands. Despite continually playing with Adelaide's elite and being on the rise themselves, what goes up must come down, and Asphyxia hit yet another bump in the road with the simultaneous departures of vocalist Zach Taylor and drummer Brody Green. After a very turbulent few months, rebuilding the foundations, Asphyxia has emerged in 2009 with a new line-up and kicking off the year with it's first international support gig with Whitechapel and Psycroptic.
With their unique blend of progressive, melodic and brutal metal that is difficult to place in any specific sub-genre, Asphyxia stands to break the cycle of generic metal music. Constantly pushing their own musical capabilities, the band has already written an abundance of new material, with inventive songs that continue to break trends and rules. Asphyxia is currently looking forward to 2009 to continue to conquer the local, national and international metal scene. The band will continue to play regularly in Adelaide and also has high ambitions for interstate shows and tours.

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.
