Collusion

Biography

COLLUSION was started in the summer of 2006, when Xander Snyder decided to record some songs he had written. For talent he needn’t look further than two of his best and closest friends from his childhood (Melanya Torosyan, lead vocals, and Layla Hababeh, keyboards) to begin the band. After gaining Mike Chitarians, bass, who was a friend of Melanya’s, COLLUSION rehearsed rigorously throughout the summer of 2006, entering the recording studio near the end of July. On drums was Alex Duddy, another friend of Melanya’s, who agreed to help the group out due to the lack of a permanent drummer. After a few weeks of recording and mixing at Stereo Train Studios in Burbank, COLLUSION finished their EP, “Two,” which is currently available at www.cdbaby.com/collusion, as well as iTunes. Even as school started back up for all the members of the band, the end of 2006 was a productive time for COLLUSION, as they collaborated across the country in writing two new songs that were recorded during winter break. These two songs, Failure and Impossible, are available on COLLUSION’s website, www.myspace.com/metalcollusion. Failure, one of their fastest and most aggressive songs yet, jumped over 150 spots on the metal charts at www.garageband.com in the first two days it was posted, and on the third day it received the “Best Female Singer” of the week award in the entire metal genre in addition to receiving a very rare 5-start rating. In addition to these two new songs, COLLUSION found a new permanent drummer, Emin Abdalian (not pictured above), who complimented the band’s tastes and attitudes perfectly. COLLUSION’s songs have been receiving airplay all over the country and the world.
