About The Autumn Project

Mike Gustafson - Drums, Keys, Textures; Jess Huffman - Guitar; John Huffman - Baritone Guitar, Bass; The Autumn Project was first a simple one time moniker for the solo work of Mike Gustafson, upon the musical introduction of life long friend Jess Huffman and his brother John Huffman and two years of experimenting in the basement we are now again The Autumn Project, but in instrumental form. Formed officially in 2000, it wasn't until 2003 with the release of The Autumn Project's debut record "Fable" that TAP began moving forward into the direction we are heading now. After two West Coast tours, countless Midwest outings and 3 full length records The Autumn Project are setting the stage for national exposure. After self releasing "La Luna de Negra" in 2004 and signing onto Imagine It Records for the re-issue of "Fable" in 2005, The Autumn Project have now signed with the Boston, MA label Deepsend Records. Both Deepsend and Imagine It Records are best more in the hardcore metal worlds and we feel that we fit into that realm better than any other. The Autumn Project's music is very dynamic and full of melodic overtones, but steeped with a backbone of brutality and dissonance. In January of 2005 UNRESTRAINED! Magazine's Adrian Brommely, editor of one of the biggest underground metal magazines in the world, declared that the humble and quiet Autumn Project debut "Fable" was THE underrated record of 2005.
