Who are they?
Hemoptysis is the unrelenting curse of the Sonoran Desert sun. Made up of a diverse group of musicians that have created a sound not heard since the birth of Thrash Metal decades ago. Often imitated but never duplication, Hemoptysis is the true embodiment of the re-birth of American Thrash Metal.

From the ashes of the sun scorched earth; the Arizona desert has unleashed an entity, wielding a sound that can only come from a band that, like their surroundings, lives by only one law: survival of the fittest. Every emotion, note, lyric and breath they emit come from the essence of the wasteland that most call hell, but they call home. The unrelenting sun turns flora to ash by day, only to give way to frigid nights replete with promises of hypothermia; this is where you will find Hemoptysis. Each song delivers a unique expression of emotion that each fan connects with in their own way. Hemoptysis mix elements of Heavy Metal, Thrash, Death and Black Metal into a style that can only come from those that contend daily with an environment of hostility and hopelessness. There's no red carpet here, no Hollywood to magically green-screen you away from harm. In the desert you will find no hope or salvation except the one you create yourself. If you had to classify their music by genre then put them in their own. Desert Core. Riding high off the release of their 5 song EP, "Who Needs A Shepherd?", Hemoptysis appear poised to conquer the Metal realm. The band continues to receive both internet and terrestrial radio airplay, garnering plenty of media attention, and have been dubbed the 2009, 'METAL ARTIST OF THE YEAR' by The Phoenix Music Awards. In addition, guitarist Masaki Murashita is now endorsed by Jackson Guitars, Krank Amplification, Providence Cables and Effects, Maxon Guitar Effects and Accessories, and Coffin Case.

Who or what do they sound like and what sets them apart?

To compare them to any other band would be an injustice to the originality of their music. Hemoptysis start where other "Original Thrash Metal" bands leave off. They use Thrash Metal as a foundation, mix in the emotions of the desert and in so doing, move the entire genre forward in a way only they can. Whether it's Masaki's uncompromising vocals, Travis' thunderous drums, the monsoon of Jack's solos or the heart stopping bass of Sunao, Hemoptysis will leave you breathless.

Key career highlights:

• 2009 Los Angeles/Phoenix Music Awards, Metal Artist of The Year
• Jackson Guitars, Peavey, Krank Amplification, Soultone Symbals, Providence Cables and Effects, Maxon Guitar Effects and Accessories, and Coffin Case Endorsement
• 20 Heavy Metal critics all agree….Who Needs A Shepherd kicks major ass!

• 40 Clear Channel, College and Internet Radio stations have Hemoptysis in regular rotation.

Their shows.
A Hemoptysis show is akin to witnessing an exorcism. The raw intensity and unearthly power they emit has to be seen to be believed. No gimmicks, no laser light show, just pure aggression and hate being set free.

Their fans.
The legions of fans that surround Hemoptysis are immeasurable. Devoted to the death, they swarm the stage as if to offering their souls to get a glimpse of what Hemoptysis has to offer. It is their fan's unending support that has seen Hemoptysis move past their competition in the Phoenix, Arizona metal scene.

Reviews:

"Hemoptysis have what it takes to hold their own among the elite of heavy metal. Throw Who Needs A Shepherd ? in your stereo, then kick back and watch it all burn." -TheSaltyPirate.com

Live 4 Metal: "I was surprised at how tight this band is on their five song EP...Hemoptysis has a solid grasp on how to really build the song, but keep it heavy and vibrant at the same time. I like what is here,..."
Review by Metal Mark

Metaleater: "The creation of guitarist/vocalist Masaki Murashita, HEMOPTYSIS is a guitar driven Metal affair with a strong emphasis on mid-paced '80s style Thrash attacks, thick with melody and relatively strong riffing. A strong foundation has been laid, and coupled with Murashita's raspy CARCASS "Heartwork"-era vocal style, tunes like "Who Needs A Shepherd?" is a strong enough release that listeners should feel a sense of satisfaction in what HEMOPTYSIS have done and hope for even bigger and better things to come."
Review by Brian Davis

Pivotal Rage Lite: "These guys are brutal akin to Arch Enemy and Carcass and the chords, solos and riffs are memorable and melodic not too far removed from Megadeth. The result is a extraordinary merger of melodic death metal and Bay Area thrash. Who Needs A Shepherd is a solid collection of furious, venomous thrash metal that will have even the most seasoned metal veterans take notice. Are you listening Nuclear Blast, Century Media and Metal Blade? Listen to Who Needs A Shepherd and I’m sure you’ll concur."
Reviewed by Ruben Mosqueda

All Metal Resource: "...Who Needs A Shepherd? is a fun, straight forward piece of aggression containing some great double bass, powerful vocals, well chosen levels of guitar distortion...and a couple of quality thrash solos tossed in for good measure. Who Needs A Shepherd? is an incredible effort... Hemoptysis should definitely receive some sort of break as a result of this EP,... Go out and support these guys, spread the word and buy this EP, because I want to see what this band can really do.”
Reviewed by Cody Plucker

Mouth For War: "The four dudes that make up Hemoptysis have... a wildly entertaining blend of old school thrash with elements of modern melodic death metal...To put it simply, the five tracks on this disc are infectious, exciting and absurdly fun to listen to...I've listened to this disc several times now and each time it seems to get more enjoyable. For a demo EP, the musicianship is outstanding and tight. Check them out."
Reviewed by Ray Henry

Abort Magazine: "Hemoptysis have put in an ultimate effort...that can stand up over time. This one most certainly will. Who Needs a Shepherd? is currently available worldwide...show some love for an unsigned, up and coming metal band."
