THE REPTILIANS

The Reptilians biography
THE REPTILIANS is an Experimental Metal project from southern Idaho based around the guitarist/vocalist Viktor "Bob" WILT who has been an active musician in the Idaho music scene since the late '90s.

THE REPTILIANS was formed in late 2003 featuring WILT, percussionist Steve "Jesus" MCMICHAEL and bass player Josh SCHMIDT. The band quickly composed and recorded their first two albums, "Welcome To Dugway!" and "XAPPLEXCOREX", that were released simultaneously as free downloads through the band's self-operated label, Spacnum Records. The material depicted a band playing instrumental post metal with complex arrangements that often segued from slow-rolling sonic beauty into crushingly heavy chaos.

Personal differences eventually led the band to part ways with SCHMIDT, but Wilt and McMichael managed to recruit the guitarist Joey "The Hulk" LABATO and a new bass player Chance "305" SMITH. The new lineup recorded and released their lengthy one song EP, "The Mentalist", as a free download in digital-only format through Spacnum Records in April of 2010. The release featured an extensive thirty-seven page digital booklet and a the distinct sound of WILT's vocals.

THE REPTILIANS released a new album, The Breakers, in 2013.
