  • Bio

    .."One of the most unabashedly METAL bands of the year, GOH will undoubtedly be one of the huge bands of 2009 and we would be stupid not to see it. These metal veterans have not only stolen the thunder of bands half their age, they've simply drowned out their young rivals completely. Looking for glorious metal? Look here."...... "This quartet's offering is a feast of heaviness reminiscent of the pile-driving Motorhead-isms of High On Fire, with the doom/groove of Black Sabath and Trouble. PLay loud" Rocksound Magazine...... Currently cutting a swathe through the musical scene of Bradford and the North of England are battle-hardened metallers, The Gods of Hellfire. This collection of grisly lovers of the riff have been taking thecountry by storm with their no holds barred, down tuned, pedal to the metal riff assault. Taking their cues from veterans such as Trouble and Black Sabbath, as well as adding the contemporary sound of more modern bands such as Grand Magus and High on Fire, the band wear their influences on their sleeve without ever falling into the trap of being clones. Originally spawned as the brain child of ex-Lazarus Blackstar guitarist Rich Savage, The Gods of Hellfire really took shape in August 2007 when drummer Aldo (of classic thrashers Let 'em Burn), bassist Ian ( of Bloodstream fame ) and singer Al got together and found a common affinity for the heavy, fuzzed out riff. This union and chemistry resulted in the band being able to record their debut E.P. after being together for just a matter of months { now sold out}. Having initially set out to be a Doom band, the quartet quickly outgrew that tag as they found a mutual love not just for the slower sound, but also for a quicker paced, semi-thrash sound... The Gods soon fleshed out their lineup with the addition of a second guitarist in the shape of one Si Stather. This has somehow managed to make their sound even thicker and heavier, and also adds some rneck shredding solo's to the mix. After a successful 2009 with saw them play the unsigned stage @ BLOODSTOCK and a support slot with WOLF, 2010 saw some line up changes and gigs with DEATH ANGEL a northern Italian tour with thier friends SLOWTORCH and an upcoming support with Y&T……..2010/2011 looks set be an even more eventful times ahead..... ..
