Flatlined.
All the band members used to work at a bottle redemption place down the street from me. They have long since broken up(although there was a reuniun show last year). They released 2 CDs I think, both very hard and very good.
Im from Western MA which has a ton of bands popping up around here. The most notable one is STAIND...find their first album Tormented. It is nothing like what you thought STAIND was...so much harder.

This site is a little old but has some good bands and some info about them. The up and comer on that site is Split Shift...I think they just got a major record deal recently. That's what's around my area...hope that helped any
