This band is amazing and I'm so glad dredg took them on tour. Anton really supports taping and I think we should return the favor. Don't miss these guys out in the Bay Area or elsewhere.

"Brothers Anton and Lewis Patzner started off playing metal violin and cello duets on the streets in Berkeley, California in 2002. They quickly released a 7 song acoustic ep and began playing rock shows as Judgement Day. The Acoustic EP was self recorded and about 500 copies were made and sold at shows and on the street. It is now out of print.

Shortly after the release of the Acoustic EP the brothers recruited their friend Jon Bush to play drums and began playing fully amplified shows in Santa Cruz and Oakland with bands like The Botticellis, Minkus, Desa and The Matches. Many of these early shows, while entertaining for some were plagued with sound problems, mostly because of the feedback that comes from amplifying and distorting acoustic instruments. Eventually the band refined their techniques, bought the right kind of gear and figured out how to make their sound work on stage.

In November 2004 Judgement Day released their debut full length record, "Dark Opus". The record immediately gained praise in local and online press. Entirely self recorded and released, the half-hour album includes mostly tracks of heavy metal and hardcore with drums and distorted violin and cello but also includes some slower interlude tracks with string orchestras. One metal song features a full choir.

Unfortunately, soon after the release of "Dark Opus" Judgement Day was put on hold as Lewis Patzner began to concentrate heavily on receiving his cello performance degree from the The Peabody Conservatory of Music in Baltimore. Adding to the hiatus, Anton Patzner was recuited to play violin for notable indie-rock band Bright Eyes and began to tour heavily with them. For the next three years Judgement Day released no new recordings and only played a few scattered shows. They did manage to play their first tour in May of 2006, which included dates in Los Angeles, San Diego and Santa Barbara in addition to northern California." - wiki
