LURID STATE - THE SETTING SUN

Conceived in the hellish dry heat of Phoenix Arizona, Lurid State commands attention in the ever-changing genre of heavy metal music. Combining unique song writing structures with an incredibly high energy and aggressive live performance, the members of Lurid State have made a huge impression on the Arizona music scene. It is no surprise that numerous people well-seasoned in the industry have taken serious notice. "I have seen and/or worked with all the heavy hitters and professional metal bands and Lurid State is a world class act." -Chris Cannella, Product Manager/Artist Relations for Jackson Guitars & all things EVH
Since the release of their debut EP 'The Setting Sun,' the band's progress has kicked into overdrive. Endorsements from respected manufacturers such as Jackson Guitars, EVH Amplification, SWR Bass Amplification and Groove Tubes have flooded in along with numerous contract offers from various licensing companies; not to mention regular airplay on major radio station KUPD. The growing success is no surprise considering the determination, skill, and work ethic that is constantly displayed within this group. With a large local following and progressive national industry attention, Lurid State is destined for success.
Currently writing and recording new songs to add to their already impressive arsenal of material, Lurid State has only begun to display their unique approach to the intoxicating violent grooves they are already known for. The aggressive vocal patterns backed by intensely rich guitar tones and a thunderous rhythm section create an atmosphere of tension and civil unrest.
Do not worry about keeping your eyes peeled for these guys. They will gladly peel them for you, as they spread like a roadside brushfire out of the southwest they call home. "...I felt like I was actively being murdered while watching Lurid State." -Elias Mallin, Kill Hannah/Hollywood Undead
