The Boston-based Diecast formed in 1997 and quickly gained a local following among hardcore and metal fans in the area with their blend of melody and heavy rock. By 1997, the group had recorded demos, which they followed with a proper release in the form of the six-song album Undo The Wicked. The group's fluctuating membership, especially on guitar, stabilized over the next several years to include lead singer Colin Schleifer, ba** player Jeremy Wooden, guitarists Jonathon Kita and Kirk Kolatis, and drummer Jason Costa, the lineup which released Day Of Reckoning in 2001. With a growing profile among hard rock fans, the band embarked on a series of tours, including stints opening for heavyweights like Alice Cooper and Slayer. ~ Tom Demalon, All Music Guide
