Having grown up during the Thrash Metal heyday and listening to genre pioneers like Exodus, Kreator, Destruction, Slayer, Dark Angel and such, along with old-school hardcore influences like Discharge, Attitude Adjustment, Cryptic Slaughter, DRI, and Excel; Infex blends the styles of all these and more bands into a raw outpouring of aggression and anger.
Infex was formed in 2010 by Jack and Phil, who met via criagslist while searching for others with similar interests. At their early jam sessions the beer and the riffs flowed freely and songs started to take shape fairly quickly. In 2011 after jamming with several drummers with mostly dissapointing results, the two met drummer Corey, who stylistically fit in from the get go. A few months and several bass players later Dave came on board to round out the lineup and the band started playing shows.
In late 2012, Phil stepped down from the band to focus on his family, and Infex soldiered on as a three piece, while searching for a suitable replacement. Finally in early 2014, Infex recruited Derek from the ashes of Bay Area Thrash youngsters Dizastor. This lineup lasted for a year, until Derek moved on to pursue other musical interests Not faltering, Infex took some time off from the local scene to begin recording their sophomore release, and in that process ended up recruiting Aaron (XRPM, Damaged Souls) on lead guitar.
Invigorated with the new lineup and a new EP scheduled for release in late 2015, Infex has once again hit the local Bay Area live circuit and are currently working on booking a spring tour to support the ensuing release.
