Dioskilos, for those who may not know, is a reference to the Greek Mythological Cerebus, the double headed dog that gaurds the gates to the underworld. Dioskilos is a band hailing from the southern swamps of Louisiana. Many great bands such as Acid Bath, Despondency, Suture, Dead Man Circus, Soilent Green, Dim and many others,have risen from.
The band was originally conceived some 6 or 7 years ago when vocalist/rhythm guitarist Shawn Broussard met up with drummer Shannon Harris, they played together in a forgotten, rather cheesy (according to shawn) band. After they left that band they continued to jam together, but they were playing what they really enjoyed, straight death metal. These two are the original members of the band, who have been through 2 lead guitarists and a bass player to come to the setup they have now.
