Könstriktor

Heavy metal band from The Woodlands Texas

originating in early 2016 by Members Rya Redd and Blake Death right after Rya Redd's expulsion from Anacarina Acuna's solo project. Blake Death joined after Rya Redd asked if he wanted to join a punk band reminiscent of bands such as Black Flag (band),T.S.O.L.,andMisfits (band) later hiring Edge M. And changing their punk genre to groove metal and later to Shock Thrash, a genre made up by Rya Redd and Blake Death in order to have more creative freedom then hiring Scott Sowders after Sowders saw Könstriktor practice wanting to join in and fill the empty drum position. Blake later dropped the bass position to pick up guitar to have a 'dual lead sound' similar to New wave of British heavy metal bands such as Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

Suicide and Return

Late into the summer of 2016 Rya Redd headed toward Japan after saying his goodbyes to Könstriktor the band went on hiatus while Blake Death lived with As the Scars Heal singer Crimson Deathwish (with whom Rya Redd was Dating) Scott Sowders drew into his depression, making phone calls to Blake Death and Rya Redd he decided to end it. However he was unsuccessful downing 32 pills and surviving then headed to Florida for therapy which shocked Guitarist Rya Redd who had no idea of Scott's mental state
