Actus Reus is a modern metalcore band from the Atlanta suburb Buford, Georgia. Actus Reus was started by guitarist Landon Hosea, bassist Logan Grailer, and vocalist Adam Rose while they were in high school. The band played house parties for a couple years until 2018 when Actus started playing clubs around Athens, Georgia. The band’s popularity grew quickly in the local scene in Athens and Atlanta due to the in-your-face, energetic live shows. The band released their first single “Failure to Comply” in September 2018 after recording in a friend’s attic. The single did very well for a local band’s first song and their popularity continued to grow. Actus then decided to pick up a second guitarist Jack Faught to give the live shows more depth. The group set out o record their four song EP “Vengeance” in early 2019 and released it that April. The EP gained attention from metalheads all over the world and put Actus Reus up in the local Georgia metal scene. Since releasing the EP, Actus Reus has played many live shows across Georgia opening up for national bands such as Moon Tooth, Upon A Burning Body, Signs Of The Swarm, and The Number Twelve Looks Like You. The band has cycled through three drummers to date, but are set for the future with the machine gun Isaac Broquist.
