In 2011, they recorded a demo called "21st Century Riot", which was released in March of 2012. http://strandedhardcore.bandcamp.com/ 4) Dark ambient solo artist from Spain https://strandedband.bandcamp.com/ User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
