Cesium formed in the early 2000s with original members Ian Kuhn - lead guitars, Shaun Mars - guitars, Chris Rogers - drums and Danny Delgato - bass. They went through a couple of vocalists until former vocalist of Conflicted, D. Cesium joined in August of 2010. With the line-up complete, they began writing and booking shows. They began wearing the white masks for a Halloween show featuring The Underground Family. At 1st the entire band, with the exception of D, wore the white masks with black hooded robes while D wore an all white outfit with "Psych Ward" on the shirt and would perform behind the band, pacing back and forth. D later explained that, "I wanted to do something different and wanted the focus to be on my bandmates. In my head, it symbolized myself as a mental patient alone in his room and my band as the "voices" in my head." He would eventually don the white mask also. Over the years Cesium's masks would go through personal alterations such as Ian's use of a "Hannibal Lector" style mask or Shaun's all black, red or green mask, Chris's having half of his mask a detailed skull and D having many variations always with stitches, either drawn on or actual cords, over the mouth and always with a "D" in various locations on different masks. Cesium's music is a barrage of in your face melodic metal with tight leads and screaming high to low growling vocals, bouncy rhythms and intricate drums to smooth clean guitars with sorrow-filled clean vocals. You are definitely in for a treat when enjoying what Cesium has to offer.
