INVASION

Bio:

The line-up settled in Jan 2007 in North London but formed in 2005, with ye olde ryffes. Stripped down, drunk heavy metal plus space diva meets Dio vocals. Riff worship and short songs.

The album 'The Master Alchemist' was recorded and mixed in 5 days at Toerag Studios with Jaz Shaw and Ed Turner producing. More heavy new stuff coming soon...

"Invasion showcases the formidable talents of female vocalist Chan and lady drummer Zel, supported only by the inspirational (and fucking confident) Marek on guitar." Julian Cope's Head Heritage

"Invasion give heavy metal a good name once again, mining the pounding, grooving primeval seam which inspired the greats." Time Out

"These invaders are set to rip our tiny world apart, and we should welcome them with open arms" Kerrang!
