About SADISTIC FORCE:
Formed in December 2020 by James Oliver, the band has evolved from a solo project into a formidable trio with Mike Gupta on bass and vocals, and Rom Gov behind the drums, alongside James’s lead on guitar, vocals, and songwriting. SADISTIC FORCE combine the subgenres of speed metal, black metal, and thrash metal. The band has quickly become a notable name in the Austin metal scene, nominated for Best Metal Band by the Austin Chronicle and earning praise from Banger TV, Moshville Times and The Metal Pit for their dynamic sound that spans multiple metal genres.
In early 2021, SADISTIC FORCE released their first EP, Pain, Sex, and Rapture. The effort features founding member James Oliver and a mysterious percussionist known only as Hell Troll. Soon after, the duo would team up again for the band’s sophomore EP, Black Moon Sadism, and the digital single, “Lagoon of Doom.” The debut album Aces Wild was unveiled in the fall of 2021 and received critical acclaim. Most recently, SADISTIC FORCE’s second full-length album, Midnight Assassin released in October 2023, explored darker and more violent themes.
