We believe that the music gaming industry is poised to be the next revolutionary form of interactive digital distribution and our goal is to assist bands from every genre into making that transition, reaching more potential listeners and ultimately promoting themselves and their sales in all forms of distribution.

Whats better than playing your favorite song on Rock Band? Having other people playing YOUR songs on Rock Band!  Asenath Rockband Authoring was formed to do just that. Starting as a means to get our own songs from our bands into the game, we then thought, there are so many really great bands out there that we would all love to play. We are now focusing on creating tracks for genres that we know and love, unlike other places that may not know the slightest thing about your songs and vision. We have been moved by the music we wish to track and post, so much ,that we prefer to cater to the genres that we listen to on a daily basis. We have a vast array of experiences ranging from a variety of different musicians, audio techs, programers, animators, designers and people who are just really really good at the game. But we all share a common interest in darker and louder music. From Metal, and many of its sub genres… Goth Metal, Death Metal, Thrash, Symphonic to Punk, Post – Punk, Goth and Industrial. Music that has been a part of our daily lives. We feel that this genre of music has been put to the way side by the game , that when this opens up , we will jump at the chance to help get the music we love out there.
