DISPLACEMENT ARE ALWAYS LOOKING TO PLAY GIGS, JUST SEND US A MESSAGE TO BOOK US AND WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE'RE DISPLACEMENT... A MODERN HEAVY METAL BAND FROM BOLTON!!!
We first kick-started the party in 2004! Since then, we have grafted relentlessly for 5 years, having a few line-up changes and leaving a trail of blood, sweat and tears along the way...
In this half-decade we have come a long way as a band, establishing ourselves across the continent as a hardworking and tight metal thrashing machine.
With an impressive list of over 250+ live shows, we've developed a good reputation for delivering a tight and energetic performance, attracting many fans in the process.

To date, we have produced four solid and well received EPs alongside a promotional CD we distributed in 2007.
Our music is an onslaught of unrelenting brutal riffs, rapid tempos and awesome melodies, brought together and bolstered by an uncompromising will to speak our minds about all we believe as a band.

We all push ourselves to create an unparallelled and energetic live show that enhances the highly captivating music that we play - Putting in 111% effort into every performance...
We'll never back down and we'll always go to extreme measures to ensure A) The Crowd is Entertained, B) You're all Massively Involved in our live show and C) That we ultimately keep the venue buzzing!

As a group, we'll always keep pushing ourselves to the best of our abilities - Always writing songs that all Metal fans can enjoy, whilst always retaining our savagely raw and brutal edge!
Our material is original, represents what we're about and has many different influences, as each member takes inspiration from many different styles and genres. Our music is also made to appeal to the entirity of todays massively diverse and ever changing Metal audience...
And even though we are all in full-time employment, we are never less than 100% dedicated and play, drink and gig well together at all times.

As much spare time and energy as can be found is put in to our band, each one of us playing a vital role in the band and doing everything we can to pull crowds, entertain you, give you great metal, drink beer with you, party and share good times with all fans of our music and everyone we love!
Because that is what we stand for, what we love and what we will always do!!!

Sounds Like:

"Solidly played thrash metal -If you like metal then I suggest you check this lot out"
- CYPHERMUSIC, YORKSHIRE

"Displacement have some really catchy music going on.
When they want, they can really turn the wick up and show off their most complex and technical material, that must take a lot of practise to get right considering the speed the band like to play at. Ace!"
- BANNED NETWORK, CHESHIRE

"Displacement exude energy from start to finish, playing around with music that branches accross a number of different styles.
Vocalist Ben made the standing area at the front of the stage his own, stomping around like some sort of heavy metal Godzilla.
The bands set and the reaction of the crowd threatened to wreak havoc, particularly the last song of the night, on which the crowd decided to start a 70-strong mosh pit!"
- NECROSCOPE, HUDDERSFIELD

"Displacement turn the stage into Hell for their performance. This band are very heavy and very loud and extremely popular, they are in your face and certainly take no prisoners.
The audience is immediately transformed into a mosh pit, a frenzy of whiplash hair and pumping arms and it's not clear who is the frontman as each member battles for the spoltlight, giving 110% creating a fueled atmosphere and a good energetic performance."
- ANDREA DAVIES, BOLTON MUSIC SHOWCASE

"Displacement are, as far as I'm concerned, Bolton's hardest working band. Excuse me, PROPER Metal band. They have a maturity to their sound drawing on influences such as Metallica and Iron Maiden, keep an eye out for these guys."
- ADAM FARMER, INAUDIBLE MAGAZINE

"Displacement's live shows are fierce events with every member giving their all. They don’t sit back on a handful of songs as they are constantly pushing themselves with more intricate and complex material, whilst still remaining heavy, thrashy and brutal!
Displacement are at the center of a well respected metal community, they really know how to Rock a town. Most importantly what they have achieved in Bolton has been a major inspiration to us and is partly responsible for the existence of CORRUPTED, for that, we salute them."
- CORRUPTED, BLACKBURN

"The stalwarts of Bolton brutality DISPLACEMENT came up to to pay BOLTONMUSICRADIO.CO.UK a fucking hostile visit - And be-jaaaaaaysus, did they blow away the BMR team!
They belted out a mix of classics and new material - Talk about tight! I've never seen so many grown men (and me, of course!) arguing so much over a pair of earphones while the band tore room 6 apart from the inside"
- BOLTON MUSIC RADIO

"I’ve seen Displacement a number of times live, and thoroughly enjoyed myself in the process. So, I thought it was time I put my money where my mouth was and got hold of a CD - What a decision that was. As soon as I got home I chucked their CD (Demons At The Door Demo, 2007) in my CD player and just listened, and it blew me away.
Overall, I think that the passion of this band comes over in abundance in this CD and would urge anyone to buy one... For the catchy riffs, awesome vocals and instrumental genius which this CD has in spades... That’s what metal should be about. 7/10"
- WWW.HEADBANG.CO.UK

"In the last 12 months, Bolton has seen an influx of very tight metal bands and Displacement have upped the ante staying one step ahead of all who would take their title. There’s commitment and purpose to their playing. Very good set!! 8/10"
- IAIN @ PADDED CELL, BOLTON.
