IGNITOR is one of the very best Metal bands which appeares in the last years. It is a great honour for me, to receive the permission of the band to release this maserpiece of 100% true Metal on LP! I hope the band will release more classic top albums in the next years.
BAND BIOGRAPHY
The scorching heat of Texas is the perfect crucible in which to
create metal not often heard on American
shores. Out of this aural forge comes Ignitor, the culmination of
over 20 years of experience in
metal/extreme music. The band was formed when guitarists Stuart
Laurence and Beverly Barrington, bass
player Brendon Bigelow, drummer Pat Doyle, and vocalist Erika joined
forces in the summer of 2003.
The group’s pedigree is not to be dismissed. During the early 90s,
Stuart Laurence supplied guitar havoc
to Texas' favorites Agony Column. Former kit basher of punk warriors
The Offenders, Pat Doyle provides a
pounding pulse to Ignitor’s music that keeps the metal rolling.
Beverly Barrington uses her six-string and
high-kicking skills developed in rock-mavens T.A.N.G. to provide a
crunching counterpoint to Stuart's
soaring lead work. For six years, vocalist Erika fronted goth group
Autumn Tears but now leads Ignitor
in a sawblade-siren attack. Bass player Brendon Bigelow, the five
string foundation of the group, also
holds down the low end with death metal minions, Death of Millions.
Influenced by 80s masters Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica,
Ignitor’s music is a blend of classic
true metal with the power of today's greats like Primal Fear,
Grave Digger and Brainstorm. After six
months of writing and recording, the band released their "Take
to the Sky" demo in April 2004.
“Take to the Sky” was highlighted as Demo of the Month by Germany's
Rock Hard magazine, and PowerMetal.de
recently voted Ignitor as one of the Top Newcomers of 2004. Inspired
by the enthusiastic acceptance of their
music, the band forged ahead writing new music and developing their
stage show.
They have since shared stage space with great bands like W.A.S.P,
Distant Thunder, M.O.D., Beyond Fear and
Jag Panzer. After stunning the sun-baked crowd at the Monterrey
Metal Fest, Ignitor returned home to begin
work on a new CD full of focused, intelligent metal. They
spreaded their true metal message to
Germany by opening the 2005 Keep It True festival, and were very
much celebrated.
In 2008 singer Erika left the band. New singer since 2009 is Jason Mc Master from
WATCHTOWER.
