DMT Bio

...As DMT, we are attempting to create music that pulses with the human energy field, and empowers people to awaken the dormant spirit within. Influenced by a diversity of inner vision experiences, we are creating a sound different than what is currently explored. Powered by the use of sacred psychoactive plants and the spirit molecule, we are tapping into the source of energy to bring you music straight from the gods themselves...Started in 2009 by brothers Alistar and Dave Valadez (formerly of the Los Angeles based band Mygrain), their music quickly gained the attention of talented artists and hungry musicians. They were joined in late 2009 by front man Jamie Rubel on vocal and Erick Daniel joined on drums in 2010. In 2009, they recorded their first demo with Tommy Decker and Mike Sarkisyan of Spineshank, which gained them a lot of notoriety around the Los Angeles area. They are currently in the studio completing their next EP due to be release in 12/21/11. They released their first single and music video from their upcoming EP on 11/11/11 for "Beneath The Surface", directed and edited by Lord Zane of Society 1. A solid headlining act with an original sound and style, DMT has played a multitude of large venues, opening for an assortment of national acts such as Korn, Fear Factory, Job For a Cowboy, Winds of Plague, In this Moment, Bleeding Through, White Chapel, All Shall Perish, As Blood Runs Black, Stick To Your Guns, Wayne Static, Sleeping Giant, Divine Heresy, Throwdown, Powerman 5000, Story of the Year and many others...
