Biography

Santa Cruz, San Jose CA, United States (2009 – present)

Santa Cruz, California-based band Son Of Aurelius was formed in 2009 when vocalist Josh Miller assembled willing local Santa Cruz musicians for a short recording project at Castle Ultimate Studios.

The musicians were Berkelee trained bass player Max Zigman, Spencer Edwards on drums, and Cary Geare playing guitar. They quickly wrote some material and recorded a 3 song demo in 5 days. The mix of styles and influences ranged from brutal death to swedish style melodic metal. Everyone involved saw the potential for a full time band and Son Of Aurelius was born.

Upon hearing the demo, Animosity’s Chase Fraser joined the group on second guitar.

In August of 2009, Son Of Aurelius spent 15 days recording their full length debut album with Zach Ohren at Castle Ultimate Studios. The new material reflected the demo in it’s diversity of influences and genres. The 11 song album was officially finished in September, and the band began immediately rehearsing full time for live performances and relentless touring. On 6th of July the band digitally released an EP containing 5 new tracks.

    Haven't listened to these guys since my senior year of High School. So nice to rediscover them. The Farthest Reaches is a masterpiece.

    Really amazing performance last year, no one knew who they were until after they preformed (they were opening for Suffocation) and after everyone was asking for "demos" as if they were some kind of amazing local band that they had just discovered. The singer just said "Nah man, we don't do demos, but we have an album for sale outside."
