Suhgarim was formed near Venice, Italy, by Singer Trish Fleury & Guitarist Dave Anthony. Although from Southern California, they were living in Italy while Dave was serving as a paratrooper in the US Army. They actually started by leading worship in a cutting edge outreach service that quickly grew to hundreds of people every week. They were performing acoustically as well as forming their own band which led them to perform with the Monte Berico Choral Ensemble and Orchestra in a 9th Century church in Vicenza, Italy. After moving to Columbia, SC and winning local acoustic competitions they released one EP and one full length as Suhgarim. In 2008 they suffered a devastating house fire narrowly escaping with their lives but losing everything they owned including most of the bands equipment. Around the same time as the fire they still managed to release their first full length CD, "Between Life and Death", prompting music critic Otis Taylor of The State newspaper to proclaim, "If that's not Rock N' Roll then I don't know what is!". He even went on to name the fire and subsequent release of their CD as the number one moment of 2008 in the South Carolina music scene! Building a following the old fashioned way by playing live relentlessly, and putting on a high energy show indebted to the "femme bravado" and massive charisma of Trish Fleury, in 2009 they signed to UK hard rock and metal label Ravenheart Records. With the signing they were featured in several UK Rock magazines and were praised for their gritty brand of female led hard rock that did not follow the trends set by bands like Evanescence as so many of their peers were doing. In 2011 original band members Glenn Traweek (Guitar & Keyboards) and Hank Thomas (Bass) rejoined the band for the recording of their next CD. They have already released the first single which was produced by Rick Beato (Shinedown, Crossfade, Scott Stapp).
Suhgarim has shared the stage with The Bullet Boys, Wednesday 13, Pop Evil, Trust Company, Sponge, Blessed by a Broken Heart, Hydrovibe, Ligion, Fixer, Know Lyfe, Joan Red, Black Ritual, Zelazowa, and hundreds of other bands. Suhgarim's sound has been called, "as original as their name, the love child of Queensryche, Megadeth and Heart, alt - ethereal modern metal and combining the sounds and style of Dio and Iron Maiden". Propelled by the electrifying stage presence of Trish Fleury and the guitar antics of Dave Anthony Suhgarim's shows are a return to the very roots of Rock N Roll and what concerts were meant to be! Suhgarim shows are filled with unpredictable and uncontrolled abandon their stage shows not only bring audience and band together in communal rock ecstasy but balance on the precipice of danger! Like an orgie of Rock N Roll raw energy a Suhgarim show is a free for all and an experience to remember! Suhgarim holds every audience spell bound and energized that recalls the early days of the MC5, The Stooges and AC DC. No matter what comparison one draws, one thing is for certain, "Suhgarim is bad ass rock and roll!"

"This is one of those albums, that you find a new favorite track with each subsequent listen, for now, my favorite is the dramatic closer, "Portland". Just a great song with fittingly powerful lyrics. The vocals of Trish Fleury are powerful and go straight for the jugular, the guitar work by Dave Anthony and Glenn Traweek is stellar as the riffs just keep on coming. Suhgarim add the best elements of classic bands such as AC/DC, Guns N' Roses with the technical precision and musicianship of latter day Queensryche and Megadeth. The songs have a decidedly metallic edge to them that really put, "Between Life And Death" over-the-top for me. 9 out of 10! Tony Canella - Femme Metal - UK

"Between Life and Death is a modern old school metal style album. Trish Fleury is a strong distinctive singer, and if you like Lauren Harris you'll like her. The riffs on this album are hard hitting and melodies are very catchy; "Loser" is a top song and will no doubt be an absolute killer onstage! "Between Life and Death" is a total surprise and Suhgarim are more than welcome in the over crowded genre of female fronted metal bands. Neil Daniels - Power Play Rock & Metal Magazine, UK
