about

Datum Point is an Christian Southern Thrashcore band from the Cincinnati, Ohio region. Dusty Murphy and Donny Combs started the band in 2008 with ex members Will Sharkey and Kevin McDaniel. Shortly after writing and recording a few demo tracks, Will left the band to pursue a solo project, Significant Brother. In early 2009, the band recruited veteran industrial metal artist drf to take over on bass guitar. During this period, the band self-recorded and released a demo entitled "War". It encluded four tracks and was only available for a short time. The remainder of 2009, Datum Point's regional fan base began to grow as they frequented local clubs and festivals. One of the highlights of 2009 was when the band played alongside several metal acts on the Slave to the Metal Tour, Hosted by Mistress Juliya (formerly of That Metal Show). During that show, the band recieved several positive reviews from concert attendees despite the bands obvious Christian stance. In March 2010, drummer Kevin McDaniel left the band to form Fall From Sorrow. The same month bassist drf parted ways and joined forces with Chris May (ex-vocalist Behind the Beheaded, Rooker's Assasins) to resume work on his previous Industrial Death Metal project, Subtorn. The band then added Steve "SKS" Stratton (Happy The Wicked, 12 Seconds of Rage) to the bass position and Joshua "Sweets" Young (Advocate SeVen) on drums to complete the lineup.
