Tamerlane is a five-piece, Metalcore band from Los Baños, California. Fast paced and highly energetic, Tamerlane takes on any stage, delivering a crowd pleasing performance one will not forget. The band hit the ground running by playing their first show with Asking Alexandria in 2013. In November 2015, Tamerlane released their first EP, "My Enemy | My Friend", and followed it up with a video for their first single, "Passive | Impressive." Since then, Tamerlane has played with national acts such as I See Stars, The Color Morale, The Word Alive and more.
Tamerlane recruited production house and Sonoma Wire Works' partner Ahava Audio to help co-write and produce their upcoming album. During this process, Sonoma's DrumCore 4 was utilized for drum replacement. Travis Cook (Drums) created MIDI tracks to accompany the guitars and effects for each track. When Ahava Audio received the tracks for composition, they used DrumCore 4 to create the drum sounds for the composition process. The heavy hitting drums from the DC4 catalogue served as a perfect foundation for building and composing each song.
