Artist History In about 1997 Rudy (guitar/vocals) was involved in a band called Manifest which broke up two years later in 1998. Rudy then found himself playing with Christian (guitar) in a band called Tempest, which was mostly a Metallica cover band but failed. In about August 2000 after 5 months of writing, best friends Chris (drums) and Rudy decided to ask Christian to play guitar. Iron Cross then grabbed Mike Ruvalcaba to play bass. Soon after kicked him out and got Matt Munoz but job conflicts ended that. Now Chris Martin (bass) is in the band to complete to current lineup.
