Comments vocalist Andrew Hileman, “Over a year with no shows or tours and we get to come back on a crushing tour with Kublai Khan and Chamber! This past year has been tough for music, so getting out again feels so relieving. We get to be nasty, sweaty rock and rollers again.”

I AM have come to embody the subgenre known as “Texas death.” While the band takes influence from “The Big Four,” their homage to artists like Pantera, Power Trip, and Cro-Mags is undeniable. Their signature style of dive-bomb guitars and guitar-driven riffs has come to define the genre.
Formed by vocalist Andrew Hileman in 2011, I AM quickly gained recognition in the great state of Texas as being a band meant for bigger things. After paying their proverbial dues and touring relentlessly, solidifying Texas death across North America on tour with bands like The Acacia Strain, For The Fallen Dreams, and Kublai Khan, I AM released their debut album, Life Through Torment in February of 2017.
In 2018, the band began recording a new album with Randy Lebeouf at Graphic Nature Audio (Kublai Khan, Left Behind, Great American Ghost) with a vision of capturing their chaotic live performance and power they’d become known for. Hard 2 Kill was released in November of 2018 to serious critical acclaim. Decibel Magazine declared, “I AM know how to write songs that make you want to move.” Kerrang! plainly stated, “Devoid of pretension and brimming with tangible anger, the band’s music is an angry headbanger’s dream.”
I AM will release their next full-length via eOne with details to be unveiled in the months to come.
