Details:
âThrashinâ and groovinâ â. That sums up Nephilimâs sound in a nutshell. This Northern California heavy metal band would say their musical influences include Pantera, Testament, and Exodus, but Nephilim has a style that is clearly their own. Nephilimâs unique sense of rhythm and killer guitar solos, paired with an instantaneous connection to their audience, make them a metal band you wonât want to miss.

Nephilimâs members came together in the summer of 2004. Five teens with a love of metal, all participating in a summer music program. The band's musicianship, showmanship and unique style was recognized as they took first place in a battle of the bands competition with 23 other acts.

In the fall of 2004, Nephilim burst onto the Sacramento music scene, opening for a national act to a sold out crowd of 900 and releasing a 3 song EP titled âTormented Visionsâ. In the Spring/Summer of 2005, Nephilim settled into its four existing members and their signature sound. They released a 6 track EP, "Mortality", in April 2006 and have a growing and dedicated fan-base. The band continually develops new, innovative material and is committed to perfecting their sound and performing killer live shows. They have had the opportunity to open for metal greats like Overkill and Deicide, have consistent radio play and have won various âbattle styleâ events. When you listen to this band you will be sure to agree that it is uncanny for four musicians still in their teens to have such a huge, kick-ass sound.

Nephilim is Brian Curtin, lead vocals; Brett Rechtfertig, lead guitar; Britt Green, bass; Brian Gifford, drums.
