BIO:

Alternative Metal band, SYSTEMATIC, was one of the first signings to METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich’s record label. Considered an emerging talent, the band released their debut “Somewhere in Between” in 2001. The album earned the band an opportunity to tour on Ozzfest that same year.

In 2002, the band found a new audience when legendary drummer Paul Bostaph (FORBIDDEN, SLAYER, TESTAMENT) joined, following an injury to their other drummer, Shaun Bannon.

Despite a promising start and opportunities to showcase their talent, the band struggled to breakthrough with their 2003 album “Pleasure to Burn” and disbanded following a concert in April 2004.

INITIAL ALBUMS:

“Somewhere in Between” (2001)

“Pleasure to Burn” (2003)

The band reunited briefly in 2011 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their debut album and, although no official reunion has been announced, the band’s Facebook page posted pictures of them recording new music in May 2021.
