.. A five piece band from Leicester who's roots start way before the true fruit that is Edict of Bedlam. Friends that met whilst at college in 2006, the band started with a different sound, a different line up and a different maturity under the name of Abyass (Alan and Sheep-guitars, Rich-drums, Aaron-bass and Dan Bailey-vocals). After a few gigs here and there, college ending the band slowly drifted apart with Dan Bailey leaving and what was more like reunions every hand full of months. Also struggling to find a vocalist the band stopped.

Months turned into a couple of years and the group was trying out different bands or projects but nothing compared to what it was before in Abyass. Finally, at the end of 2008 phone calls were made, ideas were put to the table and then Suicide Count: 2 was born with Sheep moving onto vocals and Matt replacing Sheep as guitarist and rest of the line up the same, the band has been gradually making its way forward through the local metal scene. The start of 2010 see's the band notching up a gear and changing the band name to Edict of Bedlam. Making a more mature sound than the days of old and taking the chance of a lifetime more seriously than before, Edict of Bedlam are on the way up! ..

Sounds Like:

"Finely tuned sense of drama, spinning out songs that have dark and tingling ideas. Huge sounds and some ear-bleeding screams conjure up spine-chilling images and atmospherics."

Arts in Leicestershire on our sound.
