From the hell bound heart of the East Bay Metal Scene comes Down Factor, the heaviest band in the Bay Area. Based in Oakland, California, Down Factor is a metal band that has evolved to a new culture of music full of aggression and intensity. Down Factor has created a style of music that is inspired by the goals that cannot be reached the bell that never rings and the damned. As physically demanding as it is intense. Down Factor sounds like a cross breed of Sepultura, Slayer, and Fear Factory, using elements of tribal like bark vocals along side with technical speed and grooves.

Just stopping by to update you on what's been going on with ATA since
we took the summer off from shows. We recorded a music video that you
can see by going to the address below. We've also writting some more
songs, and are preparing to record a new record, as well as booking a
bunch of shows for the fall. I hope you
enjoy our video, and keep your eyes open because we'll have a new
myspace
layout in less that 2 weeks!
We have a ton of shows
coming up, but ONLY ONE in Sacramento. September 3ed at the Kennel
Club, we'll be playing with Zero Ground, Havenside, and Eminent. This
show is all ages, and cost $10, but if you get your ticket through us
it's only $5. For any info about what is going on with us, or if you
want tickets for a show, call me (Tyler) @ (916) 792-9380.

Also playing are Helms Alee, from Seattle, fresh off their main support slot on the Isis tour, and the twin bass guitar attack of Chico’s ambient sludge lords La Fin Du Monde. A once-in-a-lifetime taste of the eclectic SF underground metal scene north of the Golden Gate! Doors are at 7:30, and the show is ALL-AGES.
