Artist History IT ALL STARTED OVER 7 YEARS AGO WHEN TWO FRIENDS, DAN PARROTT AND PETER LUDWIGSEN, STARTED A BAND CALLED YEZNID THAT WAS GOING TO GO AGAINST THE MUSIC THAT WAS POPULAR AT THE TIME AND CONCENTRATE ON KEEPING THE MUSIC OF 80'S METALLICA AND MEGADETH ALIVE. VARIOUS BAND MEMBERS CAME AND WENT, THEN WHEN PETER LEFT THE BAND IN LATE 1997, THE REMAINING MEMBERS CHANGED THE NAME TO TENITUS. THE BAND BECAME COMPLETE IN 1998 WHEN AN ASPIRING YOUNG VOCALIST, MAX WALLIS, RESPONDED TO AN AD IN THE RECYCLER NEWSPAPER AND JOINED THE BAND. WITH DAN PARROTT ON RHYTHM GUITAR, MIKE CHAVEZ ON LEAD GUITAR, COLEN NEAL ON DRUMS, AND PAT DOWNEY ON BASS, THEY RELEASED A SELF-PRODUCED CASSETTE SINGLE CALLED "ONCE THE HUNTER, NOW THE HUNTED" IN 1999. THEN IN LATE 1999, COLEN AND PAT QUIT THE BAND AND MAX WAS FORCED TO MOVE TO ORANGE COUNTY, CA. EARLIER LAST YEAR, MAX REJOINED THE BAND ON BASS AND VOCALS, AND TENITUS HAS JUST RELEASED THEIR NEW ALBUM "DEAD SILENCE".
