| Afflitus, derived from the word afflatus; (uh-FLAY-tuhs), noun: A divine impartation of knowledge; supernatural impulse; inspiration.
Afflitus has been one of the most passionate metal bands to come out of the New York Underground scene in recent years, building a name for themselves amongst the NYC Metal scene. Since the conception of Afflitus back in 2000, the road they have traveled has been one of self-discovery. While Afflitus has experimented with various metal genres, one thing has remained true; they will never compromise their musical & artistic integrity.
Their long awaited 2005 self-released debut, "Promises You Can’t Keep" gives the listener 10 blistering metallic tracks, including the fan-favorite sing/scream alongs, "No One On The Other End" and “With A Heavy Heart.” Recorded/mixed/mastered by drummer Tom Tulotta and guitarist Chris Villari, the album showcases the band's abilities to write aggressive yet melodically catchy songs while maintaining consistency in sound and feel.
To truly understand what Afflitus is all about is to see their live performance. Energetic, bombastic, and hypnotic are a few words that could be used to describe this experience. While the recent focal point has been to conquer the North Eastern US Region, Afflitus look to expand and gain recognition throughout the US and beyond. Having shared the stage and kept up with top acts such as Killswitch Engage, Soilwork, The Haunted, Candiria and the likes of others, Afflitus is on the road to success.
The Afflitus artillery consists of Alex Kostas (Vocals), Chris Villari (Guitar), Tom Tulotta (Drums), Anthony La Porta (Bass), & Dave Rose (Guitar) each bringing their own diverse influences to the table to create a no-compromise resonance.
Afflitus… making fresh and inspiring metal music for the new millennium! |
