Artist History Conscious was formed in 1997 by drummer Capricorn. (Seventh Angel, There are Those, Forced Attrition) After an unsuccessful partnership with another guitarist, he began writing and contriving songs for the band to be. Capricorn soon met guitarist/vocalist AzRah. (Necropolis, Forced Attrition) Their writing styles instantly meshed, Combining brutal speed and epic sound-scapes with dark and obscure lyrical concepts. The foundation of Conscious was now complete, housing the meaning, volition and talent that stretched beyond any reasonable or predictable limit. With several songs composed, the band sought additional members. With a penchant for technicality and desire to reach ethereal planes in song, not just any musicians would avail. The first demo, titled In Masses May We Conquer, was recorded in the fall of 2000 with former members Andriz (Bass) & Mage (Lead Guitar). The self produced demo was recorded, mixed and finalized 6 days from first cut to CD burn. Extreme metal is now exposed to the local scene, and Conscious reigns supreme. Andriz was later replaced by a more experienced Saedryn, (Seventh Angel, There are Those, Forced Attrition, Swurve) who adds the final dimension of thundering low tones to the Conscious sound. The Mage left the band in early 2002 to pursue other elements of his musical career. Conscious is currently playing as a 3 piece, and has not looked back. The Band is currently in the studio recording their second album, and is anxious to tour. Conscious intends to show the masses they are one of the elite, brutally violent, and original extreme metal bands today…
