Anterior, with long hair flying, guitars extended to the skies and concise. Guitarist Steven Nixon plays with near orgasmic gusto, so enrapt at one point that his fellow axeman taps him on the chin to bring him back to earth. Frontman Luke Davies is also awesome, chastising mouthy audience members and blowing a mischievous kiss to the pit, as atmospheric fretwork soars and spirals around him. His pride in introducing an impressive recent track and their slick new drummer is well-placed. Could 2010 be Anteriors year? .. ..    (London Relentless Garage, December 2009).. .. .... THE BAND'S BRILLIANT DUELLING LEAD WORK WAS WONDEROUS TO BEHOLD AND THOSE WHO WATCHED THEM WERE CAPTIVATED. THEY SHREDDED THEIR WAY THROUGH 30 MINUTES OF HIGH VELOCITY, ALMOST MAIDEN ON SPEED GUITAR WORK MUCH TO THE ADMIRATION OF THOSE WHO WATCHED. .. ..    (GHOSTFEST, LEEDS RIOS JUNE 2008) .. .... ANTERIOR WERE A TOTAL REVELATION. THE BAND'S HIGH SPEED GUITAR WORK AND DUELLING LEADS WERE DELIVERED WITH SUCH PASSION AND VIRTUOSITY THAT MANY IN ATTENDANCE JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN "GHOSTS OF DAWN" EXPLODED INTO LIFE. THE REAL METALLERS QUICKLY SHOWED HOW IT IS ALL DONE AS THEY CREATED A SEA OF SYNCHRONISED HEADBANGING. THE LEADS WERE FANTASTIC AND PERMEATED THEIR SET CONTINUALLY AS "SERAPH" HAD MOST IN ATTENDANCE WATCHING IN ABSOLUTE ADMIRATION. ..    (MANCHESTER MUSIC BOX, DYING FETUS TOUR JUNE 2008) .. .... TONIGHT IS A CELEBRATION OF BATTLE METAL, ANTERIOR SOUND AS THOUGH AMON AMARTH HAVE COLLIDED WITH CLASSIC ACCEPT, AND THE RESULTS WIN OVER THE SCEPTICS. LEON KEMP AND STEVE NIXON KNOW HOW TO USE THOSE TWIN GUITAR MOMENTS. 8/10 .. ..    (LONDON UNDERWORLD, DYING FETUS TOUR JUNE 2008) .. .... WELSH WARRIORS ANTERIOR PUT ON A SPLENDID DISPLAY OF TECHNIQUE IN THEIR OWN RIGHT WITH A LIBERAL HELPING OF SINUOUS GUITAR LEADS SPUNKED ALL OVER A GNASHING, FRENETIC BASE. OR, AS THEIR T-SHIRTS.. SUCCINCTLY PUT IT: "FUCKING METAL AS FUCK BOYO". KKKK .. ..    (MANCHESTER ACADEMY 3, ALL THAT REMAINS/THE HAUNTED TOUR JANUARY 2009) .. .... ANTERIOR, WITH FIST-PUMPING APLOMB AND SUITABLY FOUL LANGUAGE, THEY PLAY A MUSICALLY FLAWLESS SET, WITH LEON KEMP AND STEVEN NIXON .. EXECUTING PERFECT SOLOS APLENTY. 7/10 .. ..    (BRIGHTON CONCORDE 2, ALL THAT REMAINS/THE HAUNTED TOUR JANUARY 2009) .. .... ANTERIOR, LOOKING MORE LIKE AN ESTABLISHED TOURING BAND FROM OVERSEAS PLAYING A RARE UK SHOW THAN A HOMEGROWN ARTIST. IT'S GREAT TO SEE A BAND CAPTURING THE ORIGINAL SPIRIT, KICKING OUT SPIRALLING LEADS AND CATCHY RIFFS LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER, YET BALANCING THIS SLICK GUITAR WORK WITH A GROUNDED SENSE OF AGGRESSION. THIS WELSH OUTFIT AREN'T LACKING THEIR WON IDENTITY AND THEY MAKE SURE TO LEAVE IT STAMPED IN THE MEMORIES OF THE HEADBANGING HORDES TONIGHT. 8/10 .. ..    (London Islington Academy, Hellfire Festival February 2009) .. .... ONE OF BRITAIN'S MOST UNDERRATED METAL BANDS. THE WELSHMEN CREAT MUSIC EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS BANDS A HUNDRED TIMES BIGGER, BALANCING QUALITY RIFFS WITH SOLOS THAT SOAR. WERE THEY FROM WASHINGTON THEY WOULD BE HEADLINING VENUES MUCH LARGER THAN THIS.
