Slaine are a Leicestershire based four-piece metal band. Formed in early 2006 they have gone from strength to strength, producing increasingly complex riffs, drumlines and soaring vocals. Drawing inspiration from a range of influences they aimed to produce an original sound that they successfully recorded in November 08 as their first EP "Genocidal". The lineup has changed somewhat over the time they have been together, after it was mutually decided that 4 guitarists was too much in 06, and after saying goodbye to a much appreciated guitarist who had to leave for personal reasons in October 08, they finally settled with Oli Barstow on drums, Tom Barstow on guitar, Alex Jones on bass and lead vocals, and Slaine's newest member Chris Salmon on guitar and backing vocals. They would also like to thank everyone that has supported them along the way, and to everyone that will ever hear them play.
Slaine recently gained a sponsor in The Shepshed Building Society, and we can't thank them enough for everything they're doing for us!

Reviews:
Slaine came on and it was time to mosh. A thrilling set of metal songs, delivered with passionate intensity, driving out walls of sound, interlaced with seriously good classic rock solos on the guitars. The infectious songs ignited the crowd and the band members put on a great show, with lots of head shaking and hair twirling. A group of guys who really know how to rock, they created an exciting atmosphere and fully engaged their audience. Another bass playing singer, well supported with some skillful guitar playing, they poured out a heady cocktail of metal and rock 'n roll, but ably capturing the spirit of the best metal bands. Their last song was a metal rendition of Chuck Berry's 'Go, Johnny Go', a real crowd pleaser.
Changing style from indie to metal, Slaine gave us their set of fast paced songs with Alex putting in some strong vocals and, with Tom, displaying considerable dexterity on the strings. Ollie kept the beat going with some fervent drumming. Working the crowd into a frenzy, a mosh pit soon erupted as the kids got into the music, long hair started twirling, heads began nodding and a forrest of horns went up. Passionate and committed, it was a storming set of quality metal tunes and a sterling performance from the lead vocalist, interspersing some intense solo passages on the guitars. Even with a new band member (Chris) they put in a superb performance and some stunning instrumentation. They ended with an offering for non-metal fans in the audience, a rendition of Chuck Berry's "Johhny Be Good", which they delivered with gusto.
