In the last year Horns Up Rocks has become synonymous to top notch event production within the New York City metropolitan area thanks to our ability of uniting the Heavy Music fans of the tri-state area. After the success of the March Metal Beatdown and the Dark Arts Music Festivus, we are rejoining forces with Brutal Bitches Productions and bringing you the Sindependence Metal Bash! On Saturday, July 2, 2011 we are taking over Fontana's Bar in New York City!
The event will not only celebrate America's Independence from the British, but it will also mark the release of "Death of the American Dream": the brand new album of Long Island's Heavy Music titans Lies Beneath. We are very proud of hosting this special show and to return to Manhattan for what promises to be an amazing event. Lies Beneath performed at "Hixonfest" (the first Horns Up Rocks event ever) last summer at Ace Of Clubs, and totally killed it.
Joining Lies Beneath will be Alekhine's Gun, No Remission, Ashes of Your Enemy and Eyes Like Cyanide. Additionally, the event will be hosted by Horns Up Rocks founder Jo Schüftan and Tim Martinez (DJ Tim No 37) of No Mercy Metal, and DJed by Alissa Shimansky of Brutal Bitches Productions.
Here are the artist bio's: - Lies Beneath: A five-piece Heavy Metal band with influences ranging from Thrash, to Death Metal and Hardcore. The band offers their listeners a classic dual-guitar attack, a crushing rhythm section, blended with dynamic vocals and brooding soundscapes. Lies Beneath creates an undeniable presence and demands captivation from any audience. With the release of their new album titled "Death of the American Dream", Lies Beneath are heading towards chaotic headbanging territory.
- Alekhine's Gun: A Thrash Metal outfit from Brooklyn, New York. Blending the aggressive styles of Death and Thrash Metal with fierce in your face vocals, this band is strategically looking to make their move in the Metal scene without compromise! Come check them out!
- No Remission: A powerful 4-piece Heavy Metal band from Westchester, NY. They have proven the very meaning of perseverance in establishing themselves among the underground Tristate Metal scene. Relentless in their quest to push far beyond the barriers of mainstream predictability, this fearsome foursome has earned the respect in opening for acts Dying Fetus, Anal Cunt, and Marc Rizzo of Soulfly & Cavalera Conspiracy. The band is about to release their third full-length album titled "Through the Blackened Skies,’ which was being mixed and produced by Billy Graziadei of Brooklyn legends Biohazard. No Remission is driven in taking their music to a much larger audience.
- Ashes of Your Enemy: From the heart of New Jersey in late 2005, emerged this 5 piece metal outfit whose name alone underlines a fierce, uncompromising vision. Brought together by means of a shared concept, they collectively dug deep into their metal roots and began to structure and refine their sound. Their latest EP "Anthem" is currently in heavy rotation on Sirius XM Liquid Metal XM!
- Eyes Like Cyanide: A Hardworking New York based Heavy Metal band with all the trimmings. Now that Tracy Myzeri Gonzalez is crushing on vocals, Eyes Like Cyanide bring a brutal assault every time without any remorse, so check them out!

Currently the New York City Heavy Music scene is going through a historic period of time, in which bands, fans, and promoters are uniting in order to make New York City "The Capital of Metal". While some are still trying to divide the scene, the masses are coming out to every show and are determined to keep the scene growing stronger than all. As you all know, Horns Up Rocks has served as a channel for both bands and fans to bridge the gap.
On Saturday, May 28, 2011, Horns Up Rocks is uniting Metallic forces with New York Heavy Music icon Tim Martinez from No Mercy Metal, and Chris Keene, to bring the masses a night of headbanging, crushing music, and drinking! Why should you come to a local show? Well, because if you don't support your local scene, then don't dare saying that the local scene is dead and gone. Come out and experience the sounds of fury that will be delivered by Alekhine's Gun, Edge of Existence, Eyes Like Cyanide, Feats of Valor, and Lesser Being.
Here are all the details:

Earlier this month, the third episode of the No Mercy Metal Showcase took place at Crash Mansion here in New York City. In case you haven't heard of the No Mercy Metal Showcase, it is a collaboration between New York Hard Rock promoters CT Tamura and Mike Sankuri from Gotham Rocks, and Tim Martinez (A.K.A. DJ Tim No 37). The whole concept is to offer up and coming bands a platform, where they can perform their music in front of music related websites, radio stations, and other outlets.
As sponsors of the No Mercy Metal Showcase, we are meant to pick a band that stands out and tell you all about them. This time around we want to tell you about the band Eyes Like Cyanide.
Formed in 2008 by singer Chris Miralrio, his vision for Eyes Like Cyanide was to create a unique blend of sounds. In order to do this, he consciously started working with musicians from different backgrounds. Today Eyes Like Cyanide has members from New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Michigan, which results in a well crafted band with musicians who add different flavors to the mix.
Eyes Like Cyanide will get any crowd moving with their intensity and passion. They are working day in and day out on creating something that is completely unique, and that will make them stand out strong. Their focus is to keep playing shows all over the tri-state area and to hopefully land a record deal, so that they can take their music to the next level. Eyes Like Cyanide are ready for you, are you ready for Eyes Like Cyanide?
Here is an interview we conducted at the most recent No Mercy Metal Showcase, starring CT Tamura from Gotham Rocks and Chris Miralrio from Eyes Like Cyanide. Enjoy!
