Artist History Tim (vocals/guitar) and Jon (bass) decided to form a band in 1993. Originally called Mydian, they found a drummer by odd chance named Waylon Jennings. He turned out to be very good (a natural really) and thus he was inducted. For a while the name of the band was Subterfuge, but as you may or may not know, a hardcore band in New York was recently signed under that name. Eventually Negate became the name, Mike joined us, and here we are.

Albums Eleven, Lachrymology

Press Reviews Metal with an interest that extends beyond GBRS (Great, Big Riff Syndrome) and explores the many magical things a guitar can do while keeping the edges nice and sharp. Songs include push-and-pull dynamics that give Negate's sound a sense of urgency. - Kali H.From Listen.com
