YOUNG UK BAND SPEEDTHEORY ARE ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING METAL ACTS IN THE COUNTRY AT THE MOMENT, WITH "THIER TIGHT, FAST AND OFTEN MELODIC HEAVY METAL, THAT COMES STRAIGHT OUT OF THE GENRE'S GLORY DAYS" (METAL HAMMER) THIS BUDDING OUTFIT "ARE ONLY GONNA GET BIGGER AND BETTER." (KERRANG!)
HAVING ALREADY PLAYED HUNDEREDS OF SHOWS ACROSS THE UK, SOME WITH THE LIKES OF, ILL NINO, TESTAMENT, ARCH ENEMY, LACUNA COIL & IN FLAMES, APPEARANCES AT DAMNATION FESTIVAL & BLOODSTOCK OPEN AIR, AND HAVING RECENTLY RELEASED THIER 2nd STUDIO ALBUM THESE YOUNGSTERS ARE EXPERIENCED BEYOND THIER YEARS.
AS THE BANDS LIVE AND STUDIO EXPERIENCE AS GROWN SO HAS THIER SONGWRITING, THIER DEBUT RELEASE "HIT THE DIRT" SHOWED A BAND STILL TRYING TO FIND THIER SOUND BUT SHOWING PROMISE NONE THE LESS "THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH ON DISPLAY HERE TO SUGGEST THAT SPEEDTHEORY WILL BE AROUND TO LEAD THE BRITISH METAL CHARGE WELL INTO THE NEXT DECADE AND BEYOND" (ROCKSOUND).
THIER SECOND CD "BLOOD MONEY" DISPLAYED THE KIND OF PROGRESS EXPECTED OF THEM, BOTH IN MUSICIANSHIP AND WRITING ABILITY, THE BAND HAD STARTED TO FIND THIER STYLE, COMBINING BREAK-NECK SPEED WITH "AS MUCH MELODY AS ANY MAINSTREAM OUTFIT, BUT ITS JUST PACKED WITH AGGRESSION RATHER THAN LIMP WRISTED WHINING" (METAL HAMMER). BUT IT WAS STILL CLEAR THAT SPEEDTHEORY "STILL HAVE POTENTIAL BURN"
NOW A NEW YEAR WHICH HAS ALREADY SEEN THEM COMPLETE A VERY SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN TOUR, YET MORE HEADLINE SHOWS, APPEAR AT HAMMERFEST ALONGSIDE OPETH, SEPULTURA & MORE, CONFIRM ANOTHER EUROPEAN TOUR AND RECORD NEW MATERIAL, WHICH IS HEAVIER, FASTER AND MORE FEROCIOUS THAN ANYTHING THEY HAVE DONE BEFORE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME BEING MORE INTELLIGENT, MORE MELODIC AND MORE PROGRESSIVE. WITH THE BAND NOW EMERGING FROM THIER TEENS, THIS NEW MATURITY IS SHOWING IN THIER MUSIC, WHILST KEEPING THE RAW AND PASSIONATE EDGE THEY HAVE SHOWN SINCE DAY ONE.

No worries man. Just out of curiosity, how hard is it to get a support slot with you guys? My band is hopefully lookin to book a mini tour as soon as we're ready to play the set tight enough, and was wondering if for one of the shows we could play with you guys? Maybe a B'ham show or something?
