Artist History Doctura began in San Antonio, Texas during the summer of '96, as a band formed by four high school friends. They started out playing cover songs at local bars, but the drive for original expression was too strong. Soon, they graduated to playing all original material at San Antonio clubs and have had the pleasure to open for such bands as American Head Charge, The Union Underground, Nevermore, Mercyful Fate and Biohazard. The original four members have been playing together for over seven years. Doctura blends an aggressive guitar attack with a booming bass and near virtuostic drums to create their unique style of power-groove metal. In the summer of 2000, Doctura recorded their first CD, Intertwined and recently released their self-titled follow-up. The growth of the band is evident on Doctura, both as musicians and as brothers.

Group Members Nat Garza (Vocals, Guitar) Ryan Chadek (Guitar) Phillip Villagran (Bass) Chris Hillhouse (Drums)
