Splicing the mosh pit and the dance floor, this wrecking machine originally from New York known as KLANK released their debut album "Still Suffering" on the Seattle-based Tooth & Nail Records in 1996. Breaking musical boundaries with a sound described as 'dancy, aggressive, electronically infused groove', KLANK spent 18 weeks on the CMJ Top 40 charts and their monster single "Downside" which was added to over 170 radio stations nationwide. KLANK gained an immense amount of attention and notoriety while forming a strong, loyal fan base with their constant touring and growing reputation for intense live shows.
KLANK then made their mark once again with their sophomore release "Numb" which included the crushing single "Blind" which again made it into the top 40 on the CMJ charts. A video was also filmed for "Blind" which become a regular fixture on the Much Music channel.
Following Numb, KLANK appeared on several compilations which included their version of “I’ll Wait” to the “Running with the Devil - a Tribute to Van Halen ” release.
KLANK consists of Daren "Klank" Diolosa (Circle Of Dust) on vocals, guitars, Pat Servedio on guitar, keys, programming and production, and Eric Wilkins on drums. When asked to summarize KLANK’s music and lyrical direction, Diolosa has explained that, “Writing music is a form of therapy that helps to release bottled up frustrations and emotions that otherwise have no outlet… We write music that we feel comes from deep down inside and a lot of people can relate because it’s based on real life situations and emotions from living our everyday life… From mood swings, bitterness, the longing for inner peace to elements of hope, happiness & even despair. We all have to deal with these in our lives and this is our way to vent those issues… We call it 'sonic therapy'.”
After the release of NUMB, Diolosa contributed vocals to the song “Silhouette Of Rage” found on Argyle Park’s “Suspension of Disbelief” release.
In 2007 the band released the “In Memory Of…” EP which featured the trademark KLANK sound of layers of guitars, keyboards, samples, thumping bass, live and programmed drums fused with melodic, deep heartfelt introspective lyrics. "In Memory Of…" containes the song "EXPN2Day", which the band had written, by request of ESPN specifically for their extreme sports and music show called "EXPN2Day"
On April 20, 2010 KLANK unleashed their "NUMB...Reborn" release which contains 15 tracks of the classic KLANK sound. Songs like Don't Count Me Out, Blind, D.F.L. and The Rules tip the scales of heaviness, while songs like Broken, God? and So Very Real lets the bands melodic side shine through in full form.
KLANK's latest offering titled "URBAN WARFARE" was released on June 12, 2012 and is being hailed not only as the bands best but also their strongest release to date. Complete with a guest appearance by Dug Pinnick from KING's X, this new cd really packs a punch. Urban Warfare contains 14 blistering brand new tracks and was mastered by renowned audio wizard Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles, CA. "We wanted to put out a CD that fully captures the live essence and intensity of what KLANK is live and we couldn't be happier with the result", explains Diolosa.
On March 27, 2013, KLANK hit number one in the Reverbnation metal charts for San Jose and has been residing there since. As of August 1, 2013 they even made it to the number six slot in the Reverbnation NATIONAL metal charts.
See for yourself how KLANK mesh the aggression and pounce of metal with the infectious drive of the dance floor and intertwines it within a foreground of synths, samples, loops and low end to form a truly unique sound all their own.

Klank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So each day would be new I build you to sleep
That's the idea of dying but you'll just have to see
You can do what you want or so you think
But till you stop all your thoughts
You are tied to your surroundings
When the fog spreads out in the rainy season
It comes from my insides
You're seeing your real I
People
You blaspheme my name
But still I love you
Still I love you
I love you just the same
I hear all your prayers because I'm each one of you
Creation's not something I did
It's something that I do
The reason for the bad is so the there'd be such things as good
Oh I'd do anything for you
You all know I would
Be for me
Be for me
Be for me
Before for me
Before for me
Before for me
You know that I try to repair and repay
As life goes by a thousand times
It gets a little better
All is belief, All is belief, All is belief, All is belief
The lyrics to Klank's "God" are a blend of philosophical and spiritual ideas. In the opening lines, the singer reflects on the concept of death and suggests that it provides a new beginning for those who experience it. There is a sense of acceptance and peace in these words, as if the singer is acknowledging the inevitability of death and the way it informs our lives.
The next set of lyrics is an exploration of free will, or the illusion of it. The singer suggests that we believe we are able to do what we want, but in reality, we are tied to our surroundings and our thoughts. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the limits of human agency or the way our environment shapes our choices.
The refrain of the song ("You blaspheme my name / But still I love you / Still I love you / I love you just the same") is a clear reference to Christian theology and the idea that God loves all of his creation, regardless of their sins or transgressions. The singer then goes on to suggest that they hear all prayers because they are part of each person.
The final lines of the song suggest a belief in growth and redemption ("As life goes by a thousand times / It gets a little better"), and the repeated phrase "All is belief" could be interpreted as a recognition of the role that faith and belief play in our lives, whether in a religious or secular context.

So each day would be new I build you to sleep
I recreate you every day so that you can start afresh every morning
That's the idea of dying but you'll just have to see
The concept of death is similar to the idea of a new day, but it's something that you'll understand only when it happens
You can do what you want or so you think
You believe that you have complete freedom to do as you please
But till you stop all your thoughts
But you're trapped by your own thoughts
You are tied to your surroundings
You're bound by the context of your existence
When the fog spreads out in the rainy season
The fog is a manifestation of my inner self during the rainy season
It comes from my insides
It's a part of my essence
When the thunderous lightning strikes down
Lightning illuminates your true nature
You're seeing your real I
It reveals your true self
You blaspheme my name
You insult me and treat me with disrespect
But still I love you
Despite everything, I still have love for you
Still I love you
My love for you is unwavering
I love you just the same
I love you no matter what
I hear all your prayers because I'm each one of you
I'm aware of your every need because I'm a part of you
Creation's not something I did
The universe is not static, but constantly evolving
It's something that I do
I am continuously working to create
The reason for the bad is so the there'd be such things as good
Evil exists so that the concept of good has meaning
Oh I'd do anything for you
I'm willing to do anything to help you
You all know I would
You're aware of my willingness to help
Be for me
Be loyal to me
Before for me
Place me before everything else
You know that I try to repair and repay
You know that I work to heal and make things right
As life goes by a thousand times
As time goes on and life progresses
It gets a little better
Things improve, even if only slightly
All is belief, All is belief, All is belief, All is belief
Everything is predicated on belief
