PKS started in 2000 with Evan Nave (lead vocals) and Jacob Scum (guitar and vocals). War (bass and backing vocals) and Dawn (guitar) joined soon after. A year later, Abe (drums) and Dave (guitar and backing vocals) would fill out the roster in time for the release of their first demo, “Scum of the Planet”. Further honing their sound, the band released their first full release in 2003, “You Don’t Matter”, which was met with great response in their home town of Cleveland, Ohio.
PKS has played all over the region, including Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and are working there way to Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, New York, Maryland, and wherever the road will take them. They have opened for national acts such as Meshuggah, Ministry, God Forbid, Drowning Pool, Mushroomhead, Soulfly, Hanzel Und Gretyl, Bleed the Sky, Dope, Forever In Terror, and Bile and are currently exploring touring opportunities and working with HM Management. They have been featured on one of the Turkey Vulture Records’ compilations and in major publications like Metal Edge and Hails and Horns. Their sound has reached as far as Europe, South America and Japan.
Their music can best be described as detuned groove tech metal. Layered with three part guitar harmonies and dissonant harmonies with industrial undertones. The vocals range from guttural growls to piercing screams, with harmonies mixed throughout. Their latest full length CD, “The Darkening Season” is an exploration through a wide variety of metal styles and thought-provoking topics. The release features the tracks “For No One”, “Almost Human”, “National Insecurity” and “Blackest Blood”.
