ESTUARY is a Brutal yet Melodic Death/Thrash band from Cincinnati, OH. Forming in mid/late 2002, the band released its first 3 song demo-CD, Riding the Tides of Malice, with members Ash Thomas(guitars/b.vocals), Jesse Wilson(drums), Brad Howard(guitar), & Zdenka Prado(lead vocals). Shortly after its release, the band’s line-up was solidified with the addition of Steve Eberl on bass.

In May of 2003 ESTUARY was approached by IBEX MOON RECORDS who offered to release their debut full length. The contract was signed, & the band was in the studio by the end of the year recording what would become “To Exist & Endure”. Released in June of 2004, “To Exist & Endure” has been met with a killer response throughout the worldwide Metal underground scene. The band’s mix of Traditional Heavy Metal melody with Savage Death/Thrash Metal has sparked the interest of old school freaks & younger fans alike. ESTUARY built upon the success of “To Exist…” by playing various shows throughout 2004 & 2005, & in doing so has established themselves as a competent & vicious live act. 2005 also marked the band’s first official US tour which in itself was a complete success. And the spring of 2006 saw the band taking their Metal overseas with a small but killer tour through France, Spain, & Portugal with label mates Bloody Sign.

ESTUARY entered the studio on September 9^th, 2006 to begin recording their second album entitled “The Craft of Contradiction”.   Having been reduced to a 3 piece with the loss of both B. Howard & S. Eberl as full time members in 2005, the remaining 3 journeyed on, & created what is by far their best & most accomplished work to date.  Sonically, the album is an onslaught of Thrash tinged Death Metal laced with punishing melodies, sheer neck-breaking precision & jaw-dropping vocals of pure destruction.   ESTUARY’s skill at mixing and molding traditional Thrash & Heavy Metal with the Immortal Force of Death Metal is in full form.  The release date is set for 3/20/07 on Ibex Moon Records, & due to the labels growth, should be available everywhere.  Keep a look out for it… 

ESTUARY plays 100% no-bullshit THRASHING DEATH METAL with nothing but honest sincerity.   METAL TILL DEATH....
