 * Band History
 * 1) * Overview

In April of 2010, Livid completed their first full length album “Aoaé,” local to Cincinnati, OH with producer Rob Nadler from OLS Studios. The track “Pseudonym” has gained much praise from the local media, finding its home weekly on Cincinnati’s leading rock station, 102.7 WEBN. “More than a Cigarette Burn,” written by songwriter and former rhythm guitarist John Vitellaro, relates heavily to the burdens carried so readily by United States Service-members through searing riffs and melodic undertones.

In August of 2011, Livid traveled to Cleveland, Ohio to record with Roadrunner Records producer, Ben Schigel at Spider Studios. The highly-anticipated EP, titled “101,” is scheduled for release on the 17th of December. The five track EP was made with a new line-up featuring guitarist Todd Brower, and bassist Dave Hathaway. Schigel has has also produced multiple Chimaira albums, Drowning Pool, and was the former front man for Switched. Jeremy Rosen, (Director, Digital Platforms & Web Sites for Roadrunner Records,) commented positively on the “righteous hook” on Livid’s pre-production version of Forever Forgotten. He also stated about the noticeable improvement from the quality of “Aoaé” to the new tracks in currently in post-production. CityBeat, the publication on the pulse of all things entertainment, nominated Livid for a Cincinnati Entertainment Award in 2011. Livid has teamed up with the Keith Maupin and the Yellow Ribbon Support Center to headline the “Rock the Respect” series two years in a row (2011-2012.) Rock the Respect has been Ohio’s biggest local music support to raise money for packaging and shipping costs to pay for care packages for United States Service-members deployed overseas. In early 2012, Livid will follow in the footsteps of major label bands like Korn. The band is collaborating with a Cincinnati-based technician named Unicron to re-release “Aoaé” as a dubstep/alternative metal album; keeping rock relevant with the younger crowd.
