Biography

Straight On Target is a deathcore family created by Fede,Ska,Giulio,Nick and DM and hailing from Piacenza,Italy.
Started as a friend band born to play rude hardcore, the band soon changed its music style to deathcore, an even more aggressive music to scream in the face of the world the existential distress of being young and Italian.

After one year of work, at the end of March 2011 S.O.T. are proud to release a selfproduced EP called "Mediocritas", which contains five songs where S.O.T. proove all their main sound caracteristics: blastbeats, bonecrushing breakdowns and ukrainian serial killers reminiscences.

This release hasn't made the band rest on one's laurel, so they'll pursue composing new songs to reach a greater audience and to get signed with a label, taking the ideas behind the project "Straight On Target" further than the horizon! The band played various shows in Italy and in northern Europe with a mini tour in Belgium and Holland.

Straight On Target have now signed a deal with Bakerteam Records for the release of their debut album 'Pharmakos'. 'Pharmakos' combines ferocious vocals, super-heavy riffs, bonecrushing blastbeats and killer breakdowns in the vein of bands such as Aborted, The Acacia Strain, Whitechapel, Impending Doom and Molotov Solution among others, still keeping the focus on strong songwriting and meaningful lyrics. The release date has been set for January 14, 2013.
