Choking Ahogo has been helped and screwed by people in "the business". Choking Ahogo is tongue-in-cheek, heart-on-sleeve, head-in-hands, chin-on-chest, bright-faced and red-eyed. Jaded and hopelessly hopeful. Choking Ahogo is fiction and dreams to music, blown out of proportion true life experiences. Slightly off.

They have created their own identity through their sound and certain way of playing metal. The music delivery has a heavy attack, an extremely aggressive vocal style, with a punishing guitar sound, crushing bass and superior drumming. In their words...

"The music portrays who we are and what we do. The songs that you hear are our tools...the very tools that we use to find ourselves. The tools that we use to reach out to you... Yes you, the very person reading these words. With these tools, we carve into stone the evidence to find, in our search for meaning, our deepest thought and our comprehension of the incomprehensible world of today. You have seen it! You have felt! A touch of our past to reach out to our future. You are a witness and you cannot deny what is going on around you. You ask yourself why. You are about to hear the answer. These are our burning scars. They burn us everyday...and that's just the way it is...until we rot away."
