Mike, our other guitarist, is the only original member.

Mike has also written a few that are just fucked up and real eerie, so I'm excited about his songs, as well.

Apiary quietly split with guitarist and founding member Mike McClatchey. The last link to the band's original lineup, McClatchey will now focus his energies on his industrial/rock project, Lament Cityscape. He has been working on new music and tweaking old music recently, with plans to record his debut effort under that banner this month, and hopes to take the project on the road in late summer/early fall.

Guitarists Peter Layman and Mike McClatchey, integrate their individual styles into riffs that form compositions, which would normally seem unfeasible to incorporate with each other.

For this recording, the line-up features vocalist Mike Amaro, guitarist Mike McClatchey, bassist Dave Small (who has since left the band), guitarist Peter Layman, and drummer John Lazarus.

Featuring drummer John Lazarus, vocalist Jason Ingram, guitarist Mike McClatchey, guitarist Peter Layman, and bassist Dave Robertson (although Robertson didn't perform on this recorded effort), Ground has created four extended trips of both clarity and just sheer hardcore power.

Featuring guitarists Mike McClatchey and Peter Layman, drummer John Lazarus, bassist Dave Small and vocalist Mike Amaro, these guys certainly have a highly volatile, severely dynamic, huge sounding style that jumps at the heavy parts and flies at the melody.

I've always respected Jason Ingram's tortured vocals as far back as Syk Lyfe, and guitarist Mike McClatchey has only gotten better since the Dielab days (there's two names I'll bet you thought you'd never hear again.) Second guitarist Peter Leyman is no slouch either, matching him note for note, forcing both parties to constantly try to outdo the other.
