Biography

RUSTY EYE is a Prog Metal Hollywood-based band with a signature sound that blends together different metal styles with an elegant touch of Horror. With over 12 years of being an independent establishment, Rusty Eye came to life under times of political stress in Mexico City in the year of 1995, formed by American citizens who were raised there. Rusty Eye was an active member of the underground metal scene there for years, but their vision would come full circle in 2004 relocating to Hollywood,CA.

And thus, Rusty Eye's evolution throughout the years has been moving at its own cult pace, but prolifically forward. They are known as a hard working band, never yielding to transient trends or fads. Under their own independent belts they have produced 12 demos and 4 album releases since 2001: Rust 'n Roll, Cryogenic, Live at the Joint, and Stendhal Syndrome. They are currently in the studio recording a new album to be released in mid-2008.

Their dedication has been recognized by the press and music industry publications, ranking on Music Connection's Industry list of "Top 100 unsigned bands of 2006", being recipients of "Best Heavy Metal Single of the Year" (LA Music Awards 2006), "Best Male Bass Player 2006" and "Best Female Drummer 2005" (by LA Magazine "Rock City News"). In addition, female drummer Miss Randall was a semi-finalist at NAMM 07's "World's Fastest Drummer Competition".

Rusty Eye released in 2007 the horror music video to the song "Mr. Cannibal" which pays homage to Italian horror masters such as Lamberto Bava, Lucio Fulci, and Dario Argento. It was directed, co-produced and financed by Alejandro Ordoñez. The "Mr. Cannibal" video was released on 10/14/07, just one week after the controversial "Canibal de la Guerrero" was caught red-handed in Mexico City (a very bizarre coincidence).

Press quotes:
"...this thrash/progressive power trio is gaining recognition as a serious act, not just some band with a hot-looking chick drummer."
-Charlie Steffens, Metal Edge Magazine

"One of the most exciting bands to emerge out of the local extreme metal scene... meshing in all sorts of musical styles ranging from death metal, punk rock, and beyond."

"Rusty Eye has created a distinct sound that fascinates the audience with their virtuoso musicianship and wildly unpredictable playing."
-Ken Morton, HIGWIRE DAZE Magazine

"...not half bad, was thrashy outfit: Rusty Eye, showcasing blond drummer-throatster (and Britney Spears look-alike) Miss Randall."
-Greg Burk, L.A. TIMES

"For an odd few moments this reminded me of the very first time I had heard Marilyn Manson, not that these bands sound at all alike but in that I knew I was hearing something very different but something that could find a nice home in a few thousand black adolescent hearts."
-John Boden, Tartarean Desire
