Beware the Ides, formed from the ashes of Massachusetts favorites RawHead Rex and Change of System, truly ARE the music they write and play. They are five individuals who are passionate, expressive, sometimes dark, sometimes hopeful, but always 100% dedicated to their craft. Each member of the band is a talented musician, protective of his music’s integrity as much as he is concerned that the audience ~ be it 5 people or 5000 ~ enjoy the experience of seeing and hearing the band play. These guys are absolutely serious about what they do. And they do it face-meltingly, ear-bleedingly well.

BTI hit the scene with the intention of reinvigorating heavy metal and bringing it back to the forefront. If the horned hordes who attend the shows and the invitations that have been flooding in to play shows all across New England are any indication, they’ve succeeded…in spades.

Beware the Ides has a voracious appetite for playing live and to that end, concentrates on taking advantage of every opportunity offered them and every opportunity they’ve had to go out and create for themselves. They’ve done interviews, been played on internet radio stations across the globe, played small venues, played major shows (like Rock the Ink, opening for Killswitch Engage), set up gigs for other bands, interviewed their influences (like Mudvayne and Five Finger Death Punch) to establish the beginnings of relationships that might at some point yield much more than conversation, spent countless hours thanking their fans for attending their shows, and created an internet presence that is polished, interactive, and unmistakably geared towards, of course along with promoting their music and merchandise, making their fans ~ of all ages ~ feel like part of the BTI family.

Their debut EP, “Cast from Anger,” already in the hands of over 300 industry heavy hitters ~ from reviewers to major labels ~ has garnered only positive reaction and will soon be followed with a second album.
