OCTALUX, Latin for orgasm, English for "Rock your face off!"

Built on the age-warped wooden floors of an old converted grain mill, Assembly Line Gods have been designing the blueprint for their fist-pumping, head-nodding and high energy hard rock/metal package since late in 2008. Rocking every bar, club, festival and house party they can get their hands on in the Springfield, Missouri regional area, ALG have packed up their '78 Chevy van and turned on the shock-wave machine to reach out and share the mind-altering experience with as many people across the United States as possible.

David Samples' genre defying vocals weave interchangeably from melodic harmony lines to demonic growls, putting a lyrical sheen over the robust, testosterone filled power chords of E. B. Cox giving the band its alternative-rock edge. Josh Kroeger's hauntingly intricate bass lines lend to the bands tight yet spacey foundation while Carson Underwood goes out-of-the-box on the entire drum kit, selling the audience everything from metal infused double kick rhythms to Latin inspired dance grooves. Bolt everything together and attach the stage bending antics of all four members, it combines into a crowd-pleasing show that converts both rock and non-rock fans alike.

"A good hard rocking sound with an alternative edge, I love the versatility in the tracks" says DJ Beerman (DJ Beerman Show/Podcast); "It's metal that doesn't sound angry, or even like it's trying to be. The playing is impactful without trying for a constant sonic pounding" says Chris D. at theFourFour.com; "They were last but not least to take the stage with their mesmerizing vocals and lyrics that plumbed the same depths as Tool or System of a Down. I found myself in contemplation while the singer chanted" says Darian Darqly of darqpress.com

The freshman effort 'Shelter for My Enemy' gives listeners a taste of things to come and an aural souvenir of the live shows. The four song EP has produced tracks such as 'Liberty Bell' and 'Coil', both of which currently receive terrestrial and internet-based airplay across the World and find themselves included on several compilation and sampler CDs. Each victory brings Assembly Line Gods one step closer to being an essential staple for the music scene, now and in the future.
