Entropia was born in the summer of 2005 when Darin Wall and Casey Ory met while working at the same restaurant.  They started hanging out, talking about bands, music, going to concerts and demolishing 100’s of pints. They always talked about someday doing a music project together. They talked about a Venom tribute band, a S.O.D. style joke band, and others.  Then one night (about 15 beers in) they came to the agreement that they would start a serious project together.  In the following months, they jammed like crazy in a little sweatbox known as Crying Sky Studios. They would work at the restaurant until 11:00pm, and then go jam at Crying sky until 5 in the morning.  Once they had gotten their chops up to a reasonable level, they searched for more bandmates.  The original plan was for Darin to play rhythm guitar, but the search yielded many guitarists but little (or rather nothing) in the way of decent bass players.  At this point Darin decided to make the switch to bass to fill the void.  Trevor Logan was recruited to play rhythm guitar, and they jammed as a three piece in the ensuing months. In January of 2006, Trevor decided that the thrash metal sound was not what he wanted to play so he left the band and eventually formed the stoner doom outfit Haggatha.  Now with just two band members, the search resumed for guitarists.  There was little promise until one day Darin came across and ad on a website for a young guitarist named Dave Watson. Dave was brought out to audition and the chemistry was instant. They jammed Iron Maiden’s “The Trooper”, Manowar’s “Hail and Kill”, Metallica’s “Kill ‘Em All” and many others.  Eventually, they mapped out the music for five original songs, two of which are still staples in the Entropia live set and are on the self titled 2007 EP.  Next was to write lyrics and vocal melodies, and the band felt that whoever sang the songs should write the lyrics, so a search for a vocalist began. Many auditions were held, some good, some terrible and some downright hilarious. Many notable local Vancouver vocalists came out, but none really fit the bill.  Then the band received a response to an ad from former Hair Trigger vocalist Angus Lummis.  Angus came out to audition and the band felt that his ability to both scream and sing melodically, and his personality and work ethic suited the band perfectly.  They jammed as a four piece for the next few months. Adding vocals to their music, they hammered out the songs “Cliffhanger”, “Shellshock”, “Ashes” and “Stalking Shadows”.  Next up was to name the band. After many brain cramps, Angus Casey and Darin decided to go and sit in Casey’s front lawn with a few cases of beer and stay there until they had a name.   Many suggestions such as “Flacid Steel”, “The Harshmallows” and “Cocktacular” didn’t quite measure up to the image the band wanted for themselves. About 3 hours into it, remembering an idea his friend David Foster had told him about, Darin blurted out the word “Entropia”.  The band all agreed and it was official, Entropia was born. But there was still a piece of the puzzle missing. They wanted to have another guitarist both to fatten up the sound and to have someone who could trade off solos with Dave. About a week later, Patrick Smith came out for an audition and was hired on the spot.  The band taught Patrick all of the material, and they wrote new songs “Lupus” and “Forever”. Entropia then went into Pacific Audio Video Institute studios to record a pre production demo of all of their material with Weezie Brown. The very day they completed this recording, they landed their first gig playing with longtime friends Muffgoat.  On July 27^th 2006, Entropia began its live onslaught on an unsuspecting audience at the Columbia Hotel.  The band got an incredible crowd response and even got called out for an encore at their first show. Everyone in attendance came up and said how shocked and blown away they were by Entropia’s set that night.  It was then the band knew they had something special going. After that, Entropia gigged constantly through the summer of 2006, playing to killer audiences and getting great responses at every show, especially to newer material such as “The Gunslinger”, “Born of Horns” and “One by One”. In late September 2006, Patrick informed the band that he was going to have to quit Entropia due to work and school commitments.  While they were saddened by Patrick’s departure, they set out immediately to find a replacement. A replacement was quickly found and the band continued to gig while they trained the new guitarist. Then in December of 2007, Entropia entered Turtle Recording Studios to record their first demo.  Working with Engineer Brad Graham, they recorded a five song EP in a mere 16 hours of studio time.  The band continued gigging around Vancouver until they decided that the new guitarist was not working out. They set out to find someone who would fit the bill.  After MANY painful auditions, they finally found Minsu Kim, who’s humble personality and incredible guitar shredding abilities were a perfect fit.  With the lineup complete the band set out to improve their live show and write new heavier material.  Since then, the band has toured, playing shows in Alberta and on Vancouver Island, written new songs such as “Incarceration in Flames” and “Fate of My Soul”, and continues to crush heads with their live set around the Vancouver area.
