Today in 1999 Coalesce released the album 0:12 Revolution in Just Listening
Kansas City, Missouri Metalcore, mathcore
Status:Active
Years active:1994–1999, 2005–present
Coalesce's music has consistently pushed the boundaries of the hardcore and metal genres, forging a mind-boggling obsession with strange, shifting tempos with power, noise, groove, and a creativity paralleled only by the band's peers in Dillinger Escape Plan and Botch. The origins of Coalesce can be traced back to a band called Breach -- a group not to be confused with the European outfit that shares their name. Breach formed in January of 1994 with Jes Steineger on guitar, Stacy Hilt on bass, and drummer James Redd. After a few abortive attempts at finding a musical direction with a different vocalist, screamer Sean Ingram -- late of the band Restrain -- was invited to join the fold.

002 As Coalesce, the quartet began to define its own sound, bridging together odd time signatures, an abrasive vocal style, and wandering guitar dissonance. They wrote five songs together and performed for free in basements, eventually releasing a self-titled 7" single through Chapter Records that quickly blew through its initial 1,000-copy pressing. The buzz generated by the single and the band's increasingly volatile live performances drew the attention of metal powerhouse label Earache, which invited Coalesce to become the third band aboard their short-lived New Chapter imprint. The resulting record was a CD version of their three-song 002 demo. A year later, Coalesce released a split-CD EP with Britain's long-running Napalm Death. The two Earache releases were supported by a six-week tour with similarly minded Florida band Bloodlet and Krishna-core mavens 108.
