Bio
BIO Hailing from Eugene, Oregon drummer Dano and guitarist/vocalist Aaron Tunnell are the two-piece madness that is The Athiarchists. They became popular locally with their DIY attitude, exposure on KFLY Radio, and the release of their raw tour footage known as "Athiarchist TV." Even more of a buzz got started when they began randomly showing up at major festivals and raging it in the parking lot. Their Mobile Music Adventure Stage is an overhauled U-haul with a 12,500 watt generator, full PA, stage & lighting, gear storage, and sleeping bunks. They have played the parking lot at events such as the Van's Warped Tour, Jagermeister music tour, and most recently three years of Rockstar Mayhem tours before finally getting official permission to play the show this year. They started the tour playing the parking lots but after the staunch support of the other bands, and people seen everywhere with shirts and picket signs that read “I support the Athiarchists – Let Them Play!” they were invited to play inside the venue to fill in for Shadows Fall after a bus mishap. They were a huge hit with the bands, crew and crowds on Mayhem Fest and were invited to continue their tour immediately with the Rockstar Uproar Festival that featured HellYeah, Disturbed, Avenged Sevenfold and Stone Sour. Their sound is a violent blend of Punk, Metal, and the new breed of Thrash, their music itself defies definition. Tunnell says it best “It’s music about life and reality and being true to yourself, I can’t explain it, listen and decide for yourself.” They are notorious for shutting down the night with so much energy that the fans wrap around the block trying to see inside the stage and huge pits form on the sidewalk. The energy and passion released from this twosome has made them one of the most sought after bands on the West Coast. The Athiarchists are self- managed, produced, marketed, and distributed, although national distribution is in their near future. Hardcore metal with a hefty dose of thrash and punk, this band denies genre specification and has played with a wide range of bands, having proudly shared the stage with 3 Inches of blood, Hatebreed, Pro-Pain, Devil Driver, Snot, Sworn Enemy, Mobile Deathcamp, God Forbid, Daath, and Prong as well as Better Left Unsaid, Straight Line Stitch, Hemlock, and many others. They have a Live CD recorded at Eugene's Black Forest being released very soon.

Sounds Like
A powerful blast of anthemic 2 piece hardcore thrash metal. Marathon sets, when its over, you feel the energy, you might also see either one of us puking in a bucket from over exertion, we live for music We used to put up all the shows we have ever played on our myspace page, but there are way too many now and it is fucking up the layout of our page. We will put them all up on our real website someday soon. Instead we are just going to give you a number that we will update once a year. The Athiarchists have played a total of 1200 shows as of 10/16/10, since 5/1/06.
