Recoil has a sound that is a mix of many of our influences ranging from the fast thrash metal of Kreator, Children of Bodom and early Metallica, to the slower groove metal sound of Machine Head and Pantera, while also having a taste of the classic metal and progressive sounds of Dream Theater, Iron Maiden and Alice Cooper.
We are RECOIL: a four piece metal band from Cumbria with a passion for heavy music. Look out for us playing gigs with a number of other local metal bands. Also if you would like a copy of our TGM award nominated 4 track EP (including the TGM award winning Rock Against Racism gig at the Canteen as a Bonus Track), please get in touch with us via Myspace.
Any support will be greatly appreciated!! We would love to hear what you think of our music!

Hi. Hope you can make this! Bit of a special event to have a band of this size playing at a free gig! Half their UK tour has sold out since the Download festival they played at!
hey! we are trying to change something... our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health. so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two... hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex! kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd november 2009! - buy or let die!)
PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
