While at University Of Manchester, lead singer/ bassist Sideeq Mohammed, guitarist David Gwynn and drummer Daniel Mucs (also known from the bands Collibus and Wolfcrusher) founded NAE in late 2009, with the intention of developing a unique brand of Metal driven by brutality and technical precision.
Circle Of Rage are a five-headed band (vocalist Tommo, bass player Lee, guitarists Veitch and Scott, and drummer Xander) from the United Queendom. They recorded Rage In D-Minor with Oz Craggs at the Kent-based Hidden Track Studio. The initial release date was foreseen in 2012, but due to circumstances unknown (and who cares anyway?), it has been delayed, postponed, until now.
Following experiences in other bands (I only have actual info on one of 'em, really – see further), singer Chris “Box” Pugsley and guitarists Marc Matthews & Toby Stewart (both play lead as well as rhythm guitar parts; the latter was in Awake By Design, but I doubt he contributed to the 2 full-length self-released albums of that band) came together in 2008 through their mutual love for and understanding of Melodic Death Metal.
