  • Bio

    Combining the musical styles of alternative, hard rock, classical, progressive, and heavy metal, F.H.O.D. has become a band with a sound for everyone. From hypnotic drum rhythms in the vein of Tool and Rush to old school metal bass lines reminiscent of Iron Maiden and Sabbath, F.H.O.D. borrows from the old classic rock and combines current trends and modern hooks to create a sound uniquely their own. Together with dynamic guitar roar and powerful, emotionally charged vocals, this Chicago band is receiving great reviews as a live band with a huge sound and endless musical potential. Their newest 2008 release "My Great Escape" has been noted as “snarling, chest-pumping, knock-you-on-the-ground heavy-metal” (Dustin Shoof, Express-Times), “material and a level of songwriting and production that makes it hard to believe this is not a "signed" band (Shelly Harris, KNAC.com “The Hunt”), and “an album worth growing into your music library.” (Bernie Gay, freelance music critic). It is available on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, Fandoodle.com, Zoomoozik.com, femmemetalstore.com and many other digital download sites. “My Great Escape” can be described as somewhat of a dark hypnotic journey, that is sometimes treacherous, but filled with hope. There’s an emotional element to each of these songs that the listener will connect with, and make them their own. From the epic song of survival in “Against the Odds,” to more melodic sounding “In My Shell,” to the upbeat tempos of “False Prophet” and “Kings and Queens,” this album clearly does not leave any stone unturned. Story- telling with a modern sound, an old school feel, skilled musicianship, and credible songwriting abilities, "My Great Escape" will be an album of which people will take notice. ... ............The current lineup consists of Tom Howell(guitars/vocals), Jason Stiltner (drums/percussion), KK (vocals/keys) and Dimitri Kontos(bass guitar/vocals)......... In March 2010, F.H.O.D. was selected to participate on Deep South’s Compilation 4 CD with “Unashamed”. Deep South Entertainment has been responsible for the signing of bands like Marcy Playground through their compilation CDs. F.H.O.D. released their music video “Unashamed” in August 2009 and was selected as featured band on Chicago’s Windy City Records “Radio One 2009 Compilation” CD.

F.H.O.D. was selected as a “featured band to watch” in No Cover Magazine’s March 2007 edition, along with “Unashamed” being selected to appear on No Cover’s Groupies Suck 10 Compilation available at all Barnes and Nobles stores.
