Blasting out of the Bay Area, an area already proven to be fertile soil for many a metal band in the past, LIGHT THIS CITY was one young band that didn’t take its forefathers’ legacies for granted. Tying the speed of the legendary Bay Area thrash titans alongside the extreme sound of European death metal, LIGHT THIS CITY possessed an acutely mature sound and an utterly unparalleled sense of professionalism and dedication to metal’s earliest roots not usually found in a band so young. In fact, upon joining the Prosthetic roster in early 2005, LIGHT THIS CITY had to pass the legal paperwork onto their parents, the band’s members were still busy passing their days pushing pencils in high school. With an average age of just 20, the band’s third effort, Facing The Thousand, showed extreme maturity beyond their years, but it also showed that the band knows their heavy metal history.
Formed in 2002 around a mutual interested in melodic death metal like At The Gates and Carcass as much as the classic recordings of early thrash giants Megadeth and Testament, the band’s impressive debut The Hero Cycle led to a deal with Prosthetic Records shortly thereafter. Next came 2005’s critically-acclaimed Remains of The Gods, which earned the band a spot on Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles’ best of 2005 list. At the same time, front woman Laura Nichol, one of death metal’s few leading ladies, graced the pages of Revolver as one “The Hottest Chicks In Metal.”
