Artist History
Infestation is an electronic hard rock band based in Dallas, Texas. The band's
unique sound is a compilation of styles ranging from hardcore metal to electronic trance.
A smooth combination of electronic drums, keys, and samples along with heavy guitar
and bass layered over the top, combined with a unique vocal approach help to create the
sound of Infestation. Bands whose influences can be heard in the sounds of Infestation
range from Dream Theater to Machine Head and from Depeche Mode to Nine Inch Nails.
Infestation is on the cutting edge of today's music, constantly redefining themselves
and their art.
Infestation has recorded four self produced albums, Dysfunctional, The
I Promise Project, Full Circle, and One More Thing. Dysfunctional was recorded in 1999 and helped to
define the band’s sound as heavy and driving. The more experimental The I Promise
Project (2000) incorporated an almost all electronic sound, while still retaining the guitar
driven sound of Dysfunctional.
An album created out of therapeutic necessity, Full Circle (2001) demonstrates a
seamless fusion between the bone shattering effects of relentlessly mastered heavy metal
riffs and an all encompassing sense of unreality provided by the technological electricity
of hardcore industrial music. Lyrically poetic, a twisted, self depreciating motif runs
through the course of this album. Songs of longing, guilt, lust, hate, and redemption
weave the listener in and out of the mind of the sordid, desperate individual who is locked
deep away within us all.
One More Thing (2002) is a four song EP which the band recorded at Patrick McGuire Studios in Arlington. Even though the album is
considerably shorter from the previous discs, the songs are actually part of a bigger album that the band started recording in November of
2002. The upcoming album, Evolution will feature all the tracks from One More Thing as well as new versions of Dead Girl, Her Eyes, Fallen and Fantasy
Girl from the Full Circle album. Evolution currently features 13 tracks, and the band is considering a few more to add to the final release. Evolution will
be released sometime in 2004, and promises to be the strongest Infestation release to date.
