Artist description
Coming out of Baltimore in early '98 Margret Heater has emerged as one of the biggest up and ocming 'heavy' bands. Forming in N.C in early 1995 the lineup has since solidified as a four piece metal band who has shared the bill with several nationals, as well as all regional MD, VA, and NC heavy acts. Frequent road trips have put this band on the forefront of the East Coast underground metal scene and a new CD is in the making. |

Artist History
The band, margret heater, formed and reformed in Fayetteville, NC . The group existed as a guitar/drum influenced band, borrowing styles from traditional rock to death metal. Jasan Stepp and Stephen Baucom put together some weekend sessions with various musicians writing a slew of heavy alternative songs. Due to military constraints, the two could only manage to play a few times per month, but enough to make some locally promoted recordings. Existing in a city with no scene and no tolerence (let alone appreciation) for original heavy music, the two founding members of 'margret heater' made the move to Baltimore, Maryland, an established musicial town centrally located on the east coast. Nov. 1997 a new line up including, bassist, Greg Plummer was preparing to showcase previously written songs. After a year of steady writing and playing shows throughout most of the mid-Atlantic, the band picked up vocalist Brandon Fogle. This finalized the band's line up and in Dec. 1998 the band set aside all distractions as to focus on becoming a legitimate force on the underground metal scene.Since March 1999 the band has preformed 120 shows spanning from Providence, RI to Wilmington, NC. In addition to playing out, the band has been steadly writing, recording, interviewing, promoting and networking. The band is 100% DIY. Self managed, produced and booked. |
