Belay My Last

Punishing Orange County metal quintet Belay My Last formed in 2004 around the talents of guitarists Ryan George and Nick Leavenworth, bass player Garrett Harer, drummer Ilai Lebel, and singer Jason Denney. The West Coast natives' bludgeoning blend of metalcore, thrash, and grindcore has been likened to similarly themed acts such as the Red Chord and the Black Dahlia Murder. The band's debut album, The Downfall, was released in 2007 on the Mediaskare label. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
