| Low Twelve began in basement on West Graham Street in Bloomington Illinois during the summer of 1998. The band was founded by bass player/singer Pete Altieri and guitarist Tim McCleland. Les Aldridge was added as a second lead guitarist in late 1998 before the band's first performance. Original drummer Steve Chestney was replaced by Wes Pollock in late 1999. The band recorded two demos prior to their first full length, "Flesh of the Weak" in late 2000 when they supported Pro-Pain on the Round 6 tour. The track "Brutal World" was feauted on the horror movie soundtrack for "Jigsaw" and they received praise in the metal media for their debut release. They followed up with a double cd/dvd release "Maggot Ridden Rotting Movie" and "Unfit For Human Occupancy" that led to some legal troubles with one young fan in the film. For those reasons, the "Maggot" dvd was removed from the package and they only sell the cd. In the summer of 2004, Low Twelve began recording their next full length release, "This Side Toward Enemy" and plan to release it in early 2006. Low Twelve are proud members of Heavycore www.heavycore.net |
