Hailing from Lexington, Kentucky, THROUGH TRIALS formed in early '07 by a few guys who wanted to break new ground and get Lexington out of the musical rut it seemed to be in. Their music is full of classic breakdowns and lyrics that challenge us to look at ourselves, the hardcore scene, and the world we live in today. So many bands in the local scene had such a similar sound, that some felt the scene was dead. THROUGH TRIALS tries to be one of the more original and influential hardcore bands in Lexington due to a focus on songwriting and great live shows. They combine the speed and intensity of the music that shaped their youth, with a raw and brutal edge that will put them at the forefront of today‘s hardcore scene. Each member of Lexington‘s THROUGH TRIALS draws from a long history of active involvement in the hardcore scene. Despite their contrasting backgrounds and beliefs, the tight bond within THROUGH TRIALS is a living testament of unity amongst diversity, which is essential in the hardcore scene. Aspiring to make every song a crushing display of emotion and power, songwriting has become a very important and involved process for the band. The band has currently self released two four song demos, as well as an EP in December '09 on Belgium based label 14A RECORDS. In January of '09, the band released a split CD with northern California's PLEAD THE FIFTH on CROSSFACE RECORDS. What's after that? So much more... XXX
