Shallow Ground’s incubation period was from the fall of 2001 to the fall of 2002. We were born in a small Wisconsin town called Green Lake. The originators of S.G. were Dave Taylor (lead guitarist) and Jimmy Vey (Bassist). Jimmy called upon Matt Behlen to do the rhythm which creates the birth of instrumentalism for present day Shallow Ground. After the initial style was created for Shallow Ground’s platform, we were on the search for the perfect front man. The trio posted ads and searched the internet for the person to fill the high profile position.

During the summer of 2002 they had auditioned approximately one dozen singers, until they found a nut case named Chad Myers. Chad was a little edgy, but extremely dedicated to the success of Shallow Ground’s future. Chad was accepted into Shallow Ground in October of 2002. This acquisition to Shallow Ground created a new intense style of music unheard-of in today’s music industry. This was definitely something Shallow Ground had been missing from their arsenal of riffs and rhythm.

Shallow Ground has their rehearsal head-quarters in another micro Wisconsin town called Elmore. A gentleman by the name of Rick Robinson is a great part of Shallow Ground’s success. Rick Robinson has the key to S.G.’s Sound Reinforcement. Mr. Robinson opened up his 3 car garage for the good of local music, and has put up with an awful lot of Shallow Grounds heavy in-your-face metal. Rick dedicates every bit as much to Shallow Ground as the band does to their music.

Shallow Ground established their debut gig in March of 2003. From that day forward their goals have been nothing short of exposure, and the creation of metal beyond the norm. Through months of self-criticism Shallow Ground figured out they were lacking complex vocal and guitar positions believed to be another asset in creating the desired masterpiece. In July of 2003, Shallow Ground welcomed Josh Gundersen as their second vocalist. Over the next few months Josh worked extensively with Chad in the creation of brutally interlaced vocals. After months passed, Jimmy Vey stumbled upon a guitarist looking to join a project like Shallow Ground. They couldn’t resist the temptations of a second guitarist looking to destroy stage after stage as they had been. Todd Anderson was accepted into Shallow Ground in January of 2004 to create the full sound desired in Shallow Ground’s masterpiece. To this day, Shallow Ground continues their corruption and superb contribution for the good of the metal genre through out the Midwest.
