Kevan Roy's Resume:
•   Kevan is “…the most dynamic and prolific Thrash drummer to hit the scene since the mighty Gene Hoglan.” – Brian Davis / Editor-In-Chief / Metaleater.com

•    “The drumming is extraordinarily complex, especially when it comes to the double bass.  Not only does Kevan Roy nicely create a solid foundation, but absolutely crushes with the utmost efficiency.” -KickedInTheFace.com

•    “…some of the best damned thrash metal drumming I have ever heard.”  MetalReview.com          

•    “…one of the most distinct and dead-on tight Thrash drumming performances I've heard in years.” -- MetalEater.com

•    “Roy’s smart production starts with excellent tones. From there the mix is a breeze, with each of the instruments packing a major punch. It’s obvious that a great deal of effort went into the production of these six tracks, from the sharp, slicing lead tones to the perfectly compressed drumming, everything about the overall sound quality of "Lethal Legacy" is top-notch.” -- Metal-Temple.com

•    “…and merciless beats on the "leathers" are the main ingredients that will certainly blow your mind.” -- MetalPerspective.com

•   Most recently the drummer of Mastery (Spinerazor Records, Universal/Navarre, Sanctuary).

•   Received international recognition for his style of playing from magazines such as BW&BK, Metal Maniacs, Decibel, Metal Edge and Metal Hammer.

•   His music was used by the Carolina Hurricanes for their 2006 Olympic send-off for their players.

•   Produced, engineered and mixed Mastery's "Lethal Legacy" cd.

•   Toured extensively across the United States and parts of Canada.
•   Kevan’s love for music runs deep in his veins, and started playing piano at the age of 5 and studied up to Grade 5 Royal Conservatory. It was through his teenage years that Kevan started to play the drums. Kevan’s inspiration early on came from progressive bands like Rush & Dream Theater, but also included some of Jazz’s greatest talents like Dennis Chambers and Dave Weckl, and later progressed to the heavier side of drumming, drawing influence from Gene Hoglan and Bobby Jarzombek. Terry Bozzio’s style and philosophy of drumming also played a big part in how he wanted to develop himself as a musician. The idea of “melodic drumming” really appealed to him, hence the creation of his kit, “The Cage.”

DesertCore Management & Promotions was started in April of 2005 by Andrew Cox. He wanted to work with underground metal bands to give them a chance to leave their mark in the pages of metal history without getting screwed. The first band to sign with DesertCore was Sanity In Death from Andrew's hometown of Tucson, AZ. It was with this band that DesertCore started to make a name for itself. As the leading management company for underground Metal, DesertCore is a true force to be reckoned with.

In May, 2008, DesertCore Management & Promotions changed its name to DesertCore Management & Consulting LLC, to more accurately reflect the goals that Andrew had envisioned achieving when he began the company.
