Taken By Talons is a progressive deathcore band from Cleveland in Ohio, formed in 2010.
"Taken by Talons, made of members Jason Byrd (guitar), Chris Haggarty (drums), Josh Mitchell (lead vocals) and Eric J. Soto (bass) are a band aiming to sever the boundaries of modern music. The two founding members, Haggarty and Johnny Bratsch, were later joined with new members Byrd and Mitchell. Johnny Bratsch was later replaced by Jon Vokes (Mabus Christ, Toilet Bear). Taken by Talons have gained a reputation of being "a band with no musical limitations". With a mixture of influences covering almost all genres, the unspoken mission statement within the band has become to make music that's interesting, moving, bone crunching and expressive. With the wide variety of playing styles amongst the members Josh Mitchell glues the pieces together with his powerful vocals and intense stage antics."
