Raleigh-Durham, NC, based metal band. Formed in January 1997 by guitarist Kirk Matthews, bassist Todd Yanez and drummer Ken Bass following the breakup of their previous outfit, Stormchylde; adding singer Jason Lilley and guitarist Jason Ussery. The "Modified" EP was recorded and released in August of 1997. Ken Bass left the group early the following year, and a series of subsequent roster shifts left only Jason Lilley and Jason Ussery remaining by late 1998. After new member auditions, Lilley and Ussery were joined by new bassist CJ Boyle and drummer Bobby Stansbury. Hardcore gigging throughout NC by Drill 187 earned a devoted local following and in 1999 recorded their eponymous self-titled EP. Selling over 2500 copies of this disc, which afforded the group critical acclaim and commercial success.
