Cody Boyles

Cody Boyles was born and raised on the island of Guam, which has a very tight knit community of musicians. Guitar was his first instrument, which he picked up at the age of 14. At the age of 15, Cody then joined his first band, a metal band by the name of After Genocide. It was at those practices that Cody started learning the drums while the band was on break between sets. A year later Cody started his first band as lead guitarist for the group that would be called Perished, later Erisyde. It was within the next year that he joined the punk group, Nzeexruos. Nzeexruos is the first band that Cody Boyles drummed for. He would play drums steady with this group for the next several years; simultaneously playing guitar in other bands such as Modus Operandi, and Warhead. At 21 years of age, Cody left Guam for the United States. He found a home in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was there where his love of drums prevailed and he formed the metal band as drummer, Ashes of Immolation. Ashes of Immolation torched the greater part of central to east Nebraska for the better part of the second half of last decade. Growing tired of small town lifestyle, Cody then decided to make the move to Fort Worth, Texas. While this was all happening Cody was also in studio For the debut release his first solo Endeavor, Mr. Violent Death; a spin off of the name of a Lincoln Nebraska metal band he fronted and played lead guitar for. Upon arrival in Ft. Worth, Cody dropped his solo record, but only after joining DFW metal 5 piece outfit The Devils Good Side as the lead singer. Currently, Cody Boyles is preparing to record his 2nd solo album in as many years as Mr. Violent Death. As well, Cody is singing full time with The Devils Good Side as well as session drums and session guitars with the DFW based quintet; who are also slated to hit the studio this summer. Drums are one of the loves of Cody’s life and will continue to be as he continues to shape his music career indefinitely.
