  • Bio

    Sotaro is a unique mix of ambient and expiremental sounds combined with modern influences of hardcore and progressive styles. After the original disbanding of Sotaro in late 2006, singer Matt Ramun continued the name with members of Youngstown metalcore band Bestowed (Rob Turczany, Nick Balog, Mark Delost) after their quick and unexplained breakup. After recruiting bassist Kevin McDaniel, and amazing keyboardist Pat Majernik, Sotaro quickly caused waves in the area music scene. In late 2007 Drummer Mark DeLost left after artistic and personal differences, leaving original drummer Ross Montgomery to fill the spot and bring the band a sense of refreshment. Sotaro uses their unique musical style and talents mixed with their powerfull and energy driven live performance to leave the audience in amazement and wonder. The band just completed their 3 song EP and are currently working on material for their full length album. *****As of now Matt Ramun is no longer a part of the Sotaro lineup.. We are confident that it was a smart decision due to the fact that he did not share the same musical ideas of the rest of the band.... We are leaving the singing to our guitar player Nick Balog. Who has stepped up to the plate, and is doing a awesome job. That is all.****** .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...................... ............World Visitor Map Generator.

    Wow it's finally released!
    CellOut's debut CD is now out on Nuerra Records.
    After many years of frustration and doubts the endurance have paid off.
    Our debut CD "Superstar Prototype" is available on most D/L sites. ( iTunes, Amazon, Aol etc.)
    You will find links on the Believe player on our Myspace and at our FB page.

    Mixed by Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Deftones) and mastered by Dave Collins (Linkin Park, Soundgarden)

    “Led by a great vocalist, CellOut masterfully combine metal
    and melody into powerful, well-crafted songs.”- Ulrich Wild

    "The huge wall of guitars are perfectly encased with “phat” bass lines and exploding skins.
    “Dark Days” has a great groove, a killer hook and choruses that are extremely contagious." - The New Review

    " This band is heavy and hard but has that special writing ability to make songs
    that will leave a lasting impression in your mind. The musicianship is outstanding." - Rock Eyez Webzine

    "Superstar Prototype" is also available at Spotify
