For centuries, many have been captivated with myths of the Greek titans. Commanding and powerful, their stories have set the ideal standard for dominance. Consisting of Nate Milstein, Vince Gillman, Matt Devonshire, and Matt Bryson, Titans in Time have begun to shake up the Cleveland music scene with their tight hard rock melodies, blunt lyrics, and engaging stage presence. Around June of 2013 the four found themselves back in the Cleveland area, filling in the pieces for a patchwork of songs that they had been working on independently. What came from it is the “Oceanus” EP, a six track album that has served as the starting point for their budding music career. Keeping with the titans theme, “Oceanus” gets its namesake from the Greek titan of the same name. Upon listening, you are overwhelmed with a kind of energy that usually can only be produced at live shows. Milstein’s guitar playing is beautifully complimented by Devonshire’s bass line as Bryson sets the beat with roaring drums. All to be complimented by Gillman’s vocal talents. Titans in Time's second EP,"Vulcan" is another hard hitting selection of songs. The group was able to hit the studio with Jim Wirt, who has recorded and produced bands like Incubus, Hoobastank, Live, and A Skylit Drive. Teaming up with a producer of that level took the music to another level, and helped bring out a quality like no one has heard in the Cleveland music scene. With musical influences ranging from Underoath to Katy Perry, the guys have used a building process when it comes to writing their music. Starting with nothing more than a guitar riff or a drum part, after a fifteen to twenty minute jam session, the skeleton for a song is produced. With some more fine tuning, and throwing out more ideas, a song is finalized and viciously practiced for their next live show.Their live performance is truly something that could rival today’s major acts. They conduct themselves in a way that pulls the focus to Titans in Time on the whole rather than one specific band member. At one minute, one is following Gillman bounce around the stage and the next they become captivated with Milstein, Devonshire, and Bryson’s intensity. To gauge their performance, the guys see who is playing the hardest and then use that as the standard to meet. However, that does come with some risk considering that Bryson is known to adjust his glasses in-between drum beats and is waiting for the day that he accidentally smashes himself in the face. “I think our end goal is for our worst live show to be most people’s best live show,” Milstein noted. “We don’t want to play like a local band because we don’t want to be considered a local band. We want to deliver a show that the big bands are delivering. Just because you’re unsigned doesn’t mean you can’t put on a performance that people want to watch”, Gillman followed with. Titans in Time have merchandized their band not only on a literal merch level, but by creating a central theme and image for their group. Their main focus is to continue to push their music along, nothing more and nothing less. So much so that their mantra is simple: band comes first.
