About the Artist:
"Emotion so crushing not even this life could calm the flames. Devotion that consumes everything until only ashes remain." - 8om

Not just another rock band, formed in late 2002 by guitarist Ross Ryan and singer Brian Kato (bassist Zach Newton and drummer Jason Jojola round out the band), 8om has been paying its dues as an independent act for quite some time. In their 4 years together, the band has done alot, from self-booking and promoting their own tours, living out of a van, dealing with a line-up change that would have ended most bands, self-financing two EPs and one full-length (The Pink Of Condition" - 2004, "Between Consiousness and Dreams" -2005 and "All The Things You Can't Leave Behind" -2006), and gaining regional radio play, to performing opening slots for national acts such as Crossfade, 30 Seconds To Mars, Lostprophets, Mushroomhead, VAST and Strata. Hard at work from their homebase of Loveland, CO, the boys are crafting the songs which will appear on their "yet to be titled" full-length album and plotting a 2007 U.S. tour. With a new sound, a fresh perspective and the help of producer Eric Greedy (produced Hurt -Vol.1 - capitol), 8om is prepared to set the world on fire.
