About Avenge Thee (Wastestock on Saturday 5th July)
We are Avenge Thee, a metal band from yonder hills of Kent. We take good old metal from Pantera, Metallica and Slayer, and add other stuff into the mix so that it sounds good! This is metal, not your tight-clothes-one-eyed metal impersonators.
The band started in 2002 with the original members Louiss and Adam watchin girls on mtv takin their shirts off to bands and shit. So the band was born on the basis of gettin laid. Louiss would take up bass and Adam singing and Max Holden joined on drums. Although the three practised not alot happened until 2004 when Rupert taylor joined. Although things seemed to be going well in 2005, Rupert left the band for indie-punk outfit he created with no warning, called Tangerine Fingers (RIP).
Then it all changed, as Peter Fulker joined along with Ronnie Plat. After a couple of practises, Ronnie left the band, making Peter one of the core songwriters. Another guitarist, Phil Lewis, joined shortly after. Along with Peter Swindley, the lineup was nearly complete. Since then Louiss left the band and in his stead, Danny took up Bass in aid of the band, and he gelled quickly to make an effective rhythm section with Peter Swindley.
In the summer of 2007, we parted ways with Peter Swindley due to a difference in aims with the band, and recruited Cyrus Abadeh to play drums for us, who quickly adapted for our music style.
The band progressed, playing more venues and putting on a more impressive show, but in the first few months of 2008, Avenge Thee lost two members, Cyrus (due to a lack of commitment and difference in aims) and Phil Lewis, also due to difference in aims. But with Chainy Rabbit becoming the new drummer it all went well. Chainy had stood in for us before, and therefore he slotted straight in with a great effect to our live show. Also, the guitarist slot was filled at the beginning of March with the arrival of Corin Harper, whose playing prowess and ability to learn quickly has made him an effective and powerful addition to Avenge Thee.
We are also always looking for gigs to play, because we love playing our brand of metal to everyone who wants some. So, if you want us to play, comment or message us right away, and we'll be happy to play!

NME:
" The last band on the bill are a young band from the historical town of Canterbury who have a Good Hard Thrash style with a mix of Body moving Grooves. Definetly a band to watch for in the future."
Beercart Arms:
"Good quality metal with a large fanbase who really know how to work a crowd. Our largest headline draw to date and a band I urge all to catch next time they play. We will definitely have them back for another headline slot really soon."
AAW Promotions:
“A young metal band with a lot of potential to say the least. Really amazingly catchy riffs which sometimes make your eyes bleed and Panterary style vocals mixed with metallica and slayer influenced solos to boot
Just bloody amazing in simple terms
Watch this Band”
Aphellion Promotions:
"The songs are rifforama thrash heavy fun for a good 4 mins at a time. The style and the tracks are pretty solid."
Soundhole:
"Avenge Thee were The fourth band to play tonight was again another new band, their sound comprised of a hard-hitting Precision Metal style that was fronted by the impressive guttural screams of their singer which gave a very Pantera/Machine Head aspect to the bands performance, they also showed their more classic influence with one of the later songs in their set (an impressive cover of Slayer’s ‘Raining Blood,’), a great debut by the band to the ‘hole."
Music Land - Band of the Month Jan 08:
"A groove metal band from our local canterbury area. Mixing the best of Pantera, Metallica and Slayer with more modern metalcore influences.
Check 'em out!! "
FeedMe Music:
"If Brutal shows or Good Thrashing Groves are what your after Avenge Thee are here to service those needs!"
