   About Cast In Stone
Cast in Stone was founded by Nolan, Nate and Brandon in 2005. An accomplished lead player with classical training, Nolan had played in many western Canadian bands over the years. His dizzying solos can be found throughout CIS’s material. He and Brandon, who came out of the local Calgary hardcore scene soon met Nate and formed Cast in Stone. A talented bass player in his own right, Nate got his start playing in bands in Texas. After writing together as three piece, they soon realized the need for a dynamic guitarist to complete the rhythm section. Enter Kris. Nolan had known Kris for years and knew his dedication, style and commanding stage presence would compliment the band. Soon after talks, Kris moved to Calgary to Join CIS. Writing and jamming commenced while the search for the right front man began. Many frustrating auditions later, John answered an ad on a local Calgary metal forum. An audition was set up and John travelled to Calgary to Jam with the band. Two days and countless beers later, the line up was complete. His dark and sometimes agony inspired lyrics, along with unpredictably painful stage antics were the right fit. John made plans to move to Calgary.

After about a year of writing and getting their set as tight as possible, CIS recorded a three song demo and took Calgary by storm with their high energy live show. In Late 2008, the band recorded their debut EP titled “The Machine” acquiring the services of Jeff Muller of Alchemy studios. The EP was released in Late August of 2008. Shortly after the release, founding members Nate and Brandon announced their departure from the band. This news couldn’t have come at a worse time, not that there’s ever a good time for this type of thing! The three remaining members knew they could only forge on. After a half a year of auditions, jams and rehearsal space woes, CIS knew it would be a long year indeed. An online add directed their attention to a bass player by the name of Kris Martens. Talks commenced and Martens worked on CIS material from home, before coming to studio to jam. Adding an element of presence and proving patience pays off, Martens joined the fold and the low strings were well covered. The search for the right drummer droned on and on. After months of searching for the right lunatic to man the throne, a band member mentioned that he knew of a guy from back in the day that had moved to Montreal. CIS contacted this long shot drummer, with dismal hopes. To their surprise, he agreed to move to Calgary after just hearing the material. A couple of weeks later Nick Larouche drove out west to secure his spot in Cast in Stone! This lineup – being even more aggressive than the last – is out for blood.
