Joshua Sanchez brings over 29 years of live and studio experience to Cannibalistic as a core member. His playing is characterized by technical bass lines, articulate phrasing, and counterpoint melodies, paired with a distinctive bass tone that supports the band’s heavy and precise sound.

A multi-instrumentalist, Sanchez also performs on guitar, trombone, and keyboards, with a musical background spanning metal, rhythm & blues, country, southern rock, and funk.

From 2012–2014, he performed trombone with the Kashmere Reunion Stage Band, a Houston-based ensemble rooted in the Kashmere Stage Band tradition known for its funk-driven big band jazz sound. This large horn-driven format helped shape his sense of dynamics, groove, and musical interplay.

In 2016, while living in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, Sanchez was a member of Gorgos, performing live and opening for national metal and death metal acts. He recorded and arranged the bass lines for the album Klatau, which received a Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award nomination in the Metal category in 2019.

Guided by his faith, Sanchez channels discipline and purpose into each performance, using music as a vehicle for Cannibalistic’s message.

Alex Garza – Lead Guitarist & Composer for Cannibalistic

As the architectural force behind the sound of Cannibalistic, San Antonio-based guitarist and composer Alex Garza has spent years merging high-octane modern metal with profound scriptural depth. Since forming the band in 2019, he has served as the lead guitarist, backing vocalist, and primary composer, crafting a sonic landscape that is as heavy in its instrumentation as it is in its theological conviction

The name Cannibalistic serves as a direct provocation to the listener to look deeper into the words of Christ. Drawing from the foundational text of John 6:53—"Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you"—Garza utilizes the band as a vessel to explore the radical reality of the Eucharist and the sacrificial life of Jesus

Driven by a pursuit of the ultimate tone to match the band’s technical intensity, Alex utilizes a modern, versatile setup—including Neural DSP Quad Cortex, Fender Tone Master, Ormsby, and Kiesel guitars—to create a "wall of sound" that bridges the gap between extreme metal and eternal truth

Influenced by progressive metal structures and the raw aggression of melodic thrash, Alex weaves intricate riffs and progressive, technical structures into the Cannibalistic sound. For Alex Garza, the music of Cannibalistic is more than just performance; it is an unapologetic mission to challenge conventional thinking and point listeners toward the spiritual nourishment found in Christ alone

Following the 2024 release of the band’s EP Cannibalistic - Ascension, Alex is currently composing new material for 2026, promising to push the band's signature heavy sound into even deeper theological territory.

Texas drummer Kimberly Ann Huff (Laredo roots, Austin home) joined Cannibalistic in late 2025 as the new powerhouse behind the kit, replacing Gary Holdsworth. She delivers tight, aggressive drumming that anchors the band’s heavy riffs and intense vocals. A bond servant of Christ, Kim plays with passion and purpose, anchored by Psalm 144:1 — “Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle.”
