WITHOUT END ~ Thrashing is in Adam Tranquilli's blood, and Without End is a continuation of where he left off from his former bands Blood Feast and Headlock. Metal flows through the veins of Adam and Tom as well, straight up thrashing and aggression is their cup of tea. Tranquilli and Kieffer have been playing together for over a decade, sharing the metal stage with such artists as Immolation, Goatwhore, Grave, and Death Angel. "Years back we were playing as Last Remains with bassist Bob McGlynn, and after our singer left, we became a three piece and changed our name to Headlock", says Adam. Headlock caught the attention of Pavement records who flew out to see them play with the band Overkill and was signed a week later. They recorded the album It Found Me and toured Europe with MOD. Departure came when Tranquilli had to take care of family business obligations, but continued playing with Kieffer from time to time while Kieffer played with MOD.
The Metal in his veins started to boil again, "I listened to the calling and started to write heavier than ever" says Tranquilli. Soon after, they got together as Without End and created a self-titled 3-song E.P. and started playing to the metal masses once again. The band went back in the studio and created their debut full-length album Disease is Man, in 2004 which was recorded at Big Blue Meenie in Jersey City with Tim Gilles (Agnostic Front, SOD, All Out War), and mastered at Euphonic Masters Studio in Tennessee with Brad Blackwood (Evanesence, All Out War). The album has 13 tracks with the concept coming from the disease triangle, (Host, Pathogen, Environment) "Anyway you look at it, it takes these three things in any combination for disease to happen", says Tranquilli.
A classic brutal thrash metal album, Tranquilli describes each
song in detail: "Without End is about not worrying about what happens next, or where we go when we die, we will all end up where we are supposed to be. Disease Is Man (Title track) Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment but us humans do not, we move to an area and multiply until every natural resource is consumed, and the way we survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern, its a virus, human beings are a disease. Spreading, spreading just as fast as we can, you cant stop it ~ this Disease Is called MAN! Lords of Defiance comes from my dark inside when people tell you that you have to do this or do that when really, we are all responsible for ourselves and can do whatever and whenever we want as long as we the individual can live with the decision you have made.
