The Famine

Formed from the ashes of Texas metal outfit Embodyment, Dallas' (and New York, in the case of one member) the Famine fully embraced their love of southern metal (Pantera, for example) and released the debut album, The Raven and the Reaping on Solid State in 2008. From their re-formation to the time the album hit the streets, the Famine -- Chris McCaddon, Mark Garza, and Andy Godwin -- would find themselves shifting from a musical reunion of friends to a full-time, full-on recording and touring outfit by 2008. ~ Chris True
