For those hailing from San Francisco Bay Area, from "fans, artists or just anyone who know the scene," many have been on the most ambitious journey of a lifetime. It began in the early 80's with Death Angel, Testament, Exodus, Laaz Rockit, Forbidden and other well-respected thrash outfits. They have forged the pavement for a scene that has lasted the persistence of time. From the famed I-Beam to The Warfield Theater, many thrash legends have passed through, building what was to become the most influential genre in metal history.

So what happens when you put together the guitarist of “Forbidden & Testament”, drummer of Steve Vai & Marty Friedman, then top that off with former Geezer Butler vocalist? You have an explosion like a freight train coming through your living room to warm you up to one of the most seasoned, talented, and kick-ass new bands of 2010.

LD/50 who hail from San Francisco have cut their teeth on this very form of tradition. Forging this tradition from former bands Testament, Steve Vai, Marty Friedman and Geezer Butler, they were born and raised on a Lethal Dose of what developed and transcended on almost everyone who has a global knowledge of metal. LD/50 is the abbreviation for “Lethal Dose at 50%.” It's a culture of extreme that has steadily built their fan base to the point of iconic recognition.

The band has a unique style of perfecting the groove, mixed with brutal thrash, and explosive guitar work. LD/50 is a band that is not afraid to go into a ballad with growling, screaming vocals, then run into a melodic guitar solo, and end with a tricky, syncopated rhythm.

On the road frontman Clark Brown whom recorded with “Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler on “GZR's Black Science and Ohmwork.” He is the voice and chops that represent this dangerous band.

Drummer Jeremy Colson is well known for his work with Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, and Dali’s Dilemma. Jeremy is currently working with Steve Vai on his upcoming effort and also has been hired for touring duties as drummer for Billy Idol. Jeremy’s latest work can be viewed on Steve Vai’s “Where The Wild Things Are” DVD.

Guitarist Glen Alvelais is the founding guitarist of the thrash band Forbidden. He recorded on the debut album “Forbidden Evil” and “Raw Evil, Live at Dynamo”. In 2002, Glen was recruited as lead guitarist of Testament. He recorded on “Return To The Apocalyptic City” and “Demonic”. Glen’s latest work can be heard on the Tenet debut cd titled “Sovereign” and the new Defiance cd, “The Prophecy.”

Bassist Terry Goss is the newest member to join LD/50. Terry is well-known in the Bay Area for his phenomenal bass work in the band Scorched-Earth Policy. Terry now shares the duty of guitar and bass on Scorched-Earth Policy’s new demo.
