OVERVIEW:
The Band:
Name: Caleb Iwa
Origin: San Francisco Interests: Grindcore music, Booze, Drugs, Banging stuff with his sticks, Sex, Women Info: Caleb joined Hooded Hades right back when it began - in 2000. Back then, the band was basically a band where any serious Metal head could join. Caleb was literally the first member, and ran the band until 2005 when he found that nobody wanted to be part of the band with him leading it. So he gave up the reigns. By 2007, he was a seriously grizzled member of 'The Hooded', as they were called, when the new generation came along. Currently, he's the band's make-doer. Basically meaning he's the one who chucks all those nob-heads from other bands who come to ruin their concert. He is also the one who comes up with most of the songs, as well as drawing most of their band art. |
Name: Brandon Shaun
Origin: Frisco Interests: Shades, Blood, Hell, Apocalypse related stuff. Info: After graduating from High School, Brandon moved to Frisco to hopefully start some decent work in town. But, luck isn't really his thing. He didn't manage to get any sort of job, other than serving customers at the local shop. So when he entered a bar to have his daily drink, he saw Hooded Hades (the 2006 version) and immediately vowed to join them. And so, the year after, he was thrown in to replace John Higg - a man who was never actually a guitar player. Brandon is not a big personallity in the band, but is probably one of the most talented. He is constantly coming up with ways to impress the band with his seriously "FUCKIN' AWESOME" music ability, his 'party trick' at concerts being him and Chase doing a dual guitar solo. |
Name: Jaxon O'Brien
Origin: Dublin Interests: Punk Rock, Art, 1st Assault Info: Although a strong fan of the band 1st Assault, Jaxon always found time to listen to some Punk Rock. He has no basic knowledge of any of the bands who play in that style but just loves it. Strangely, he decided to join Hooded Hades instead of bands in Punk Rock. His defence is usually along the lines of "Are you tryin' to mock me 'cos I'm Irish?!" This heavy Irish accent has got him everywhere from VIP Tickets to random concerts to free drinks at bars. His says it's his charm that gets him to these plentiful benefits but his fellow Band mates think otherwise. He joined Hooded Hades in 2009, the year after the new generation of the band had finally written a song (Hell-Bent). At this point in time, the band were looking to write an album but with so few songs, thought this was unlikely. But Jaxon gave them a couple of ideas and they are now writing a second song, hopefully to be released as a single alongside 'Hell-Bent'. He is a fairly active band member but lack of support means he can't complete his works. |
Name: Chase Dexter
Origin: Frisco Interests: Guns N' Roses, Metalcore, Metal, Heavy Metal, Grindcore, Awesome high-pitched guitar solos, Guitars, Women Info: Chase, upon arrival at Hooded Hades, became widely known fo his "AWESOME" guitar solos during concerts. In fact, on their first concert as a whole, he was invited by a Record Label to sign onto them as a single act. His gob-smacking solos almost certainly derive from his parents, both of whom where immense soloists. Just them arriving at a concert resulted in adoring fans destroying buildings just so they could glimpse them. Unfortunately, nobody did this when Chase did his. Perhaps they thought he was a dissapointment, a reject. But nonetheless, he was not detered. He joined Hooded Hades and within a week, they had hit a number one spot in the POM Charts with Hell-Bent. Today, Chase is the genius behind nearly all of the solos and constantly battles with Brandon for the top spot in the band hierachy. |
Behind The Hood:
The Originals (2000-2009)
The band originally was formed in the year 2000, and the main rule behind hiring people was that anyone could join if they were a Metal head. Their first years began with no immediate success, other than writing a song that has been long forgotten. As the years
passed, they resorted to writing covers of poorly known songs so it would appear to their fans that they had written them all themself. Eventually, people found out and promptly left Hades to play with himseld for a couple of years. The band was finally revived in 2008, when the new generation came along, as well as their first single - Hell-Bent.
A New Start? (2009-2010)
When the new generation of 'The Hooded' came along, they had to start from scatch. John Higg (previously mentioned) had robbed the band of it's funds and ran off with Caleb's sister. So the band started performing street concerts in Frisco and gained some support from the locals. After gaining some hard cash, they spent it on a bangin', spankin' new motor, as well as better
equipment.
The Hood Pulled Down (2010-present)
Currently, the band is still working on that album they set out to create. They have released only one individual single (Hell-Bent) but plan to release an album while signing onto Cookies and Biscuits Records - even though they had been invited to
Metal Militia Records but were turned down on the basis of the fact that their rival (Reach) had signed to them. Tours have been suggested by fans but their ideas have always been turned down as without many songs, there would be no point in arranging a tour. A music video is being planned for their new single, 'Shooting Through The Walls'. However, they're gonna need a lot of help to get the video out and in the faces of the public. Nowadays, they just laze about in their garage playing random songs wondering what to do in their lives at the moment.

Many pictures have been taken of the band while in concerts or just during practice. Loads of random pictures were taken but shall not be shown because of profanity POM Laws.
Many our fans will notice not all of our pictures are up here. They will hopefully be soon put up here, but we're still choosing which best suit us... |
