PARIA

Paria breaks the molds commonly used by bands in the heavy music genre by avoiding the clichés associated with aggressive music and incorporating a vast range of influences that shine through in their sound. Since their inception in 2001, Paria has made it a point to constantly progress and experiment with their sound, which has given them their unique and eclectic style. Paria is known best for their precision, aggressively-wacky guitar riffs that incorporate uncommonly used effects, unfathomablely energetic drumming speed crammed with fills, off-the-wall bass playing that utilizes finger picking, slapping, and tapping, and a very diverse vocalst who derives many of his creative ideas through his interest in philosophy.

Paria has played with bands such as The Red Chord, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Everytime I Die, Six Feet Under, Deicide, As I Lay Dying, Zao, Living Sacrifice, Nonpoint, Ion Dissonance, Origin, Fear Before the March of Flames, Scars of Tomorrow, Nights Like These, Malevolent Creation, Through the Eyes of the Dead, Job For A Cowboy, Necrophagist, and many more. Paria has toured the country extensively with bands such as Into the Moat, Winter Solstice, Dead to Fall, Haste the Day, Martyr AD, Nodes of Ranvier, Animosity, Psyopus, and many others.

The band has also been featured in a plethora of magazines and newspapers including Decibel and Revolver Magazines. Among these accomplishments, the band also performed at New England Metal & Hardcore Fest, Cornerstone Festival, and earned themselves an endorsement with Peavey Amps and Schecter Guitars. Paria has continued to challenge themselves as musicians by not only advancing their technical skills, but also incorporating a vast and eclectic amount of influences to create their unique sound. They are currently in the studio recording their second full-length album, which will be an all instrumental release on Black Market Activities/Metal Blade Records in summer of 2008 and followed by extensive touring.
