Unearthed

Unearthed was started in late 2003 when Dave Abell and Bill Owen, former Purgatory band mates, started writing music together again. They called their friend Gene Adam (Purgatory, Iced Earth) to handle the vocal duties. They entered Red Room Recorders studio and recorded their first demo with Mark Prator producing, engineering and playing drums on the record. Richard Bateman (Purgatory, Agent Steel, Nocturnus, Nasty Savage, Gardy-Loo!) then joined the band and shortly there after Chris Maraman took over on drums. With this line up they played shows in Tampa and throughout central Florida with bands such as Gardy-Loo!, Paths of Possesion, Contorted, Hallow's Eve, Iron Cross and many more. Then in May they did a short tour with Gardy-Loo! with shows from Michigan to Florida including the "Classic Metal Fest" in Chicago. After this tour Gene Adam left the band for personal reasons, but the band kept going. Doing shows throughout Florida with Dave Abell on vocals including the "Bay Area Hard Rock Festival" in April of 2006. The full Studio CD that resulted from all this is "Imposition of Faith". The lineup on Imposition of Faith is: Dave Abell - Guitar and Vocals Bill Owen - Guitar and Vocals Richard Bateman - Bass Chris Maraman - Drums
