The crowd stirs about, like an angry mob, anticipating the

arrival of the executioner at a public lynching, awaiting the first

smash of cymbal and the strike of guitar. At the sound of the first

note the pit erupts into a frenzy pitch in which only the strong

survive. The unit smashes ahead with compositions that penetrate

the listeners' skull like a pulverizing freight train through a brick

wall. Fans are kept mesmerized by the commanding presence of

the frontman and his ability of pitch control, while the band dances

through progressive passages, ranging from ultra speed, to pure

grunge.

Perpetual motion fused with uncanny tightness fuel the mobs fire until each ending of song

delivers a shock wave like a wrecking ball to a condemned building. Each song undertakes a

different time signature and builds to a power groove, and then, as you stand, palms aching and

sweating from fists held in a clinch, staring at the smoke filled stage, you wonder what kind of vehicle

just rolled over your mind. But as the cobwebs clear and you regain you faculties you begin to

realize you have just entered the….Trigger Zone.

Formed in 1984. Trigger Zone fused together as a power metal

band playing original material offering melodic vocal content

mixed with an aggressive crunch sound. This chemisrty, at first,

came as a shock to the scene known to be conservative

(Columbus, Ohio). But, with each performance their support

grew, attracting a broader range of listeners. This resulted from

ultra-tight live performances and the blending of crunch rhythm

structures and memorable vocal content. Recording credits

feature a cut on the 1990 Auburn Records compilation release

"Heavy Artillery". A 1992 self-titled 5 song demo, "Trigger

Zone" and a cut on the currently released compilation, "US

Rocker Audio Magazine #1."

With their release and ongoing support of national shows

such as Pantera, Sacred Reich, Sanctuary, Annihalator, Forced

Entry, Etc,. Trigger Zone proves to be moving up the ranks in

the underground realm.

Now, 15+ years later, compiled from various recordings comes the first ever Cd release from

Trigger Zone. Remastered from it's original cassette form comes "Bone Crusher".
