"The soundtrack to drowning in a swamp full of your own shite."
Hailing from Blackburn, Lancashire, Bastard Of The Skies formed at the beginning of 2006 - deciding it'd be best to play the loudest, heaviest, sludgiest rock possible.
Since then the band have bludgeoned audiences across the UK along with bands such as Baroness, Kylesa, Today Is The Day, Jucifer, Truckfighters, The Freezing Fog, Volition, Bersekowitz, Apes Fight Back, Nightmare Visions, They Are Cowards, White Fang, The Gods Of Hellfire, Larkin, The Sontanan Experiment and many more.
With their self titled debut album released autumn 2008, through Meltdown Records, the band are already busy at work on a follow up - slated for release early 2009 through new Lockjaw Records imprint Mother Should Know. Tour dates to follow!
SAVIOURS (USA) Heavy Metal from Oakland, last seen in Notts with The Sword and Black Cobra. Saviours are doing a Euro tour around their appearance at the legendary Roadburn festival. Bang thy head!
VICTIMS (SWE) Raging hardcore in the vein of Motorhead, Discharge, Zeke, Entombed etc. We're Fucked!
THE WANKYS (UK) The Wankys should need no introduction. Amazing Japanese style noise punk from Leicester. Think Confuse, Gai, Chaos UK, Swankys etc. One of our favourite UK bands.
STATE POISON (FR) Raw hardcore from France, on tour with The Wankys. Ex-Holy Mountain, Vomit for Breakfast
SPECTRAHAWK (UK) Siege and Celtic Frost get drunk. Then fight.
TERATOID (UK) Downtempo, downtrodden, down in the dumps heaviness from ex-MyWar, Deviated Instinct, Chaos UK etc. members. Sludge, Punk, Doom.
HAMMERS (UK) Brilliant new(ish) band from Manchester. Heavy hardcore with a good ear for a riff. Think His Hero Is Gone, Catharsis, Cursed, From Ashes Rise....
