MY OWN CHAOS is a Vancouver based metal band that mixes traditional metal with thrash and straight ahead rock. This band formed in 2008 out of the remains of the fallen band Splatter and has built a solid and immediate connection that laid the foundation for MY OWN CHAOS. The band’s brand of heavy rock and metal takes the listener through melodic, hardcore and outright angst with its many mood swings. The album takes you on a journey of self-revelations as it moves through a period of self-destructive behavior. Uniting a wide variety of influences from such bands as Pantera, Ministry, Strapping Young Lad, Jane’s Addiction, Faith No More and Static X the band carves a unique sound for themselves. The end result is sugar-coated strychnine. After already accomplishing a few successful tours across Canada, opening up for the likes of Powerman 5000, and signing to Australia's Blue Pie records, MY OWN CHAOS will soon be extending their fan base to Europe as they prepare for an upcoming tour in an effort to promote their independently released full length album. The self titled album is a sonic journey illustrating how a breakdown can actually be a breakthrough . There is hope...

STALWART hail from St. Petersberg, Russia. Toward the Summer 2000, Stalwart prepared work material for debut album, which was recorded in July-August at Neva Studio, and released early 2001 on cassettes by Russian label Fono Productions. The album laid down the foundation for original Stalwart-style, combining massive thrashcore rhythmic groove with atmospheric fragments and acoustic inserts. In summer 2002, Stalwart started to record the second album. Drum tracks were recorded in Astia Studio, Finland, under the supervision of Anssi Kippo (Children Of Bodom, Impaled Nazarene, To Die For, Norther)Stalwart, the rest of work was executed in St. Petersburg. The work demonstrated the significant progress in band style in comparison with the debut by virtue of unusual consortium of angry riffs and symphonic keyboards. The band got signed a deal with the MetalAgen / Soyz Music label and, in October 2003, the album “Dive to Nowhere” was released. The album had very positive reviews in Russian metal press, some of zines characterized it as “one of the best Russian metal releases 2003”, and the 8,5-minute title track became a trademark of band for a long time. In summer 2004 MetalAgen / Soyuz re-released Stalwart's first album "Jerk" on CDs. Early 2007, Stalwart started to record the third album “Abyss Ahead”. For the recording the famous Hertz Studio, Poland was booked with producers Slawek and Wojtek Wieslawski (Vader, DecapitatedStalwart, Hate). This album became a debut for new guitar player Antuan. The work was completed in May, mixing and mastering was also done in Hertz Studio. “Abyss Ahead” was released in May, 4, 2008 on CD-Maximum label, showed the more powerful and solid work in comparison with the previous one. Soon after “Abyss Ahead” recording sessions, the band suffered serious line-up changes. Vocalist Jacques and drummer Vladimir have left the band. Nevertheless the newcomers Oleg Sobolevsky (vocals, ex-Zindan, Frosted Glass) and Tim Ismag (drums) raised the band to the new scale, importing much more drive and energy. New sound of Stalwart, much more hot, fast and aggressive, externalized itself on the next CD “Annihilation Begins”, also recorded, mixed and mastered in Hertz Studio during 2008 (it was released December 5th 2009 by Metallism Records). In 2010, new drummer Alex Timanov replaced Tim Ismag. In 2012, Stalwart released thier 5th CD "Manifiest Of Refusal" on Canadian label PRC Music. "Manifiest Of Refusal" already received many positive reviews from metall press around the globe. The band in recent years has appeared on Tribute albums to Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica, as well as on an upcoming high-profile Tribute to Queen.

Michael Martinez grew up in the Southwest Denver, Colorado. I never moved further than ten miles from where I grew up. My first introduction to music was my uncle Guy who played piano and sang. He was featured on a local television station when I was about four years old. My first guitar was a KAY flat top I bought for $2.00 from my neighbors when I was about eight years old. I played this guitar until the sound post literally fell out of the guitar. I was in seventh grade when I played my first party with friends from junior high school. We played for a Halloween party given by one of our classmates. We didn’t have a PA system so we screamed the vocals to maintain our songs. I was given an opportunity to open for Ted Nugeet in 2006 at the Budweiser Event Center in Loveland Colorado. The music was written by me and a friend. We were pleasantly surprised with an overwhelming applause at the end of our show. We also opened for LA Guns. The song selected “Mirror Mirror” was written, played and produced by myself. The piece contains energy along with a sad melody enhancing the crying leads with emotion. I played all instruments so playing it out will take some time. The pic is with me and my daughters. They are both professional musicians and continue to play full up Symphony Orchestra. I thank God for providing me with the ability to play music and will stop when he takes it away. But until then JAM ON with love laughter and music. Never say never and love your artistic ability. NEVER STOP!!!!!! PEACE.
