about

PROVEN are a Metal / Hardcore band from Portland Oregon USA who could be easily described as a hybrid blend of the legendary Biohazard & Pantera ... anger fueled in your face riff driven metallic Hardcore done the right way !!!

"Always On The Attack" is their first release under the 1054 banner, or any label for that matter & is set to finally help them gain the recognition they so truly deserve

Band Bio :

Overcome by complacency, apathy and the lack of truly aggressive music, Portland, Oregon gave birth to the Hardcore Metal group known as Proven. Possessing the drive and a strong desire to bring their message to the world, Proven has shown they are determined to not let anything hold them back.

Proven was founded in February 2006, although originally in July 2005 under the name “From Within” with founding members :

Marc Halverson - Vocals
Randy Ross - Guitars/Vocals
Sam Boggess - Guitars
Bill Wolcott - Bass
John Gagne - Drums

Their songs, sound, work ethic, and live show garnered the attention of Billy Graziadei (Biohazard, Powerflo, BillyBio) in 2006. Proven has since then recorded three albums with Billy as co-producer and co-engineer.

Releases:

Proven EP (2006)
Truth Reign Supreme (2007)
Balance of Integrity (2009)
My Brother's Keeper EP (2010)
One In The Chamber EP (2011)
Always On The Attack (August 2019)

They have shared the stage with great bands including; Biohazard, Sepultura, Soulfly, Machine Head, Superjoint, Phil and The Illegals, Black Label Society, Crowbar, In Flames, Amon Amarth, Unearth, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Chimaira, Prong, Terror, Sworn Enemy, After The Burial, Bury Your Dead, Powerflo and many more.

Proven has toured Ireland and the US multiple times, and has pummeled fans worldwide on Sirius XM, and terrestrial radio stations across the nation. Proven has always taken the DIY approach in every aspect of the band, and have done things on their own terms.

Proven have now settled on their current lineup :

Marc Halverson - Vocals
Josh Tipton - Guitars
Robert Bridge - Guitars
Bill Johnston - Bass
Josh Rommel - Drums
