DREADNAUGHT

BLUNT SHOVEL
THE ETERNAL
The Eternal are entering a new decade with their darkest and heaviest album since the internationally acclaimed 'Sleep of Reason'. 'When The Circle of Light Begins to Fade' promises to keep fans old and new happy with the band not only pushing forward to experiment with new things but also embracing the sound that helped shape the band.

I AM DUCKEYE
As they verge on signing a 9 over dubbed tape record deal with Ice Magican Video Shop attendant Flabs Chickendrips and his extensive distribution service that covers at least Frazzled Shazza's Fish and Chip Emporium in Croydon, I Am Duckeye's music is still forming and this constant evolution drives a hit machine.

ENVENOMED
With the release of their debut "EVIL UNSEEN" under their belt and a rapidly growing fan base, ENVENOMED have hit the ground running showcasing to the masses their unique brand of traditional melodic heaviness, with a modern twist. Combining the riff heavy elements of Megadeth, Metallica and Testament with the expansiveness of Iron Maiden and Symphony X, the band's first full length offering has received unanimously positive reviews from metal media all over the globe.

DEMONHEAD
Demonhead is a loud proud metal/rock orgy; the soundtrack to your wildest party and nasty hangover. Imagine early Metallica and Motorhead having a love child with Turbonegro and Iron Maiden and you’ll come some ways to understanding what these guys are all about. They take their influences and wear them proudly on their sleeves but still manage to sound fresh and exciting.
|
FALL & RESIST
Coming from a variety of different musical background such as Technical Death Metal, Metalcore and Indie Rock, the members of Fall and Resist strive to create music that speaks to their audience. Their debut album 'Fading Cinders' was said to be 'almost impossible to flaw' by OVERDRIVE MUSIC MAGAZINE.
