====== Aerial View ====== Arena Rock/Heavy Metal\\ Sacramento, California, USA From the official website: "Aerial View began in 1993 when songwriters Aaron MacMillan, Dwayne Stearns, and drummer Jerry Ward reorganized the band [[Oracle]] with bassist Radu Filip. The style of music in early Aerial View retained the metal edge from the [[Oracle]] era and leaned toward a sound described by one writer as "Arena Rock". Eventually, drummer Jerry Ward left the band to pursue other musical interests and Rob Santello joined the band. Toward the final stages of recording their debut album, Dwayne Stearns left the band to pursue a calling to the ministry in Sonora, California. In 2002, Aerial View added guitarist Steve Wilburn to replace Dwayne and finish the work on the cd. Veteran producer and engineer Ralph Stover ([[The 77s]]) was brought in to mix and master the cd. Steve left the band in early 2007 and the search was on to find a replacement. In Februrary 2008, we brought lead guitarist Jeff Askew into the band to complete the current lineup. Aerial View continues to write new material with a hard rock and progressive edge that reflects the various influences and styles of the band members." ===== Discography ===== | 1993 | Aerial View (blue demo) | | 1993 | [[https://christiantapeunderground.wordpress.com/2022/11/07/aerial-view-aerial-view/|Aerial View (yellow demo)]] | | 2003 | Aerial View (full length) | | 2009 | Illusions of Control | ------ ==== Aerial View (blue demo) ==== 1993 Independent Aaron McMillian - Vocals, keyboards, guitars\\ Dwayne Stearns - Guitars and vocals\\ Johnny Carroll - Guitars\\ Roy Vandevender - Bass\\ Jerry Ward - Drums - Coming for You - Can't Hide From Love - Behind Your Eyes - Once and For All - Had Enough - Ash and Dust ------ ==== Aerial View (yellow demo) ==== 1993 Independent Aaron McMillian - Vocals, keyboards, guitars\\ Dwayne Stearns - Guitars and vocals\\ Johnny Carroll - Guitars\\ Roy Vandevender - Bass\\ Jerry Ward - Drums - Kapygna - Disciples of Defeat - Seventeen - Shadows in the Dark - Stand on Your Own - Price to Pay - Letter to a Friend ------ ==== Aerial View (full length) ==== 2003 Independent Aaron MacMillan- Vocals, guitars, keyboards\\ Steve Wilburn - Guitars\\ Radu Filip - Bass Guitar\\ Rob Santello - Drums - Apostasy (3:11) - End of the Line (2:49) - All There Is (5:53) - No Name Song (4:24) - Reminiscence (4:14) - Seventeen (4:06) - Every Time I Call (2:59) - Love Just Takes a Moment (4:14) - Don't Turn Away (4:42) - Take This Cup (4:54) - If (3:26) - Last Goodbye (5:09) - Only a Prayer (4:26) ------ ==== Illusions of Control ==== 2009 Independent Aaron MacMillan - Vocals, guitars, keyboards\\ Jeff Askew - Guitars\\ Radu Filip - Bass\\ Rob Santello - Drums - Condition (5:16) - What About Me (3:57) - Ash and Dust (6:08) - All You Need (5:09) - The River (5:21) - Kapygna (3:29) - Procrastination (3:47) - Behind Your Eyes (4:33) - You'll Know (4:34) - Doubt (5:12) - Coming for You (5:14) ------ ===== Links ===== * [[http://aerialview.com/|Official Website]]
