Band Biography
Spiridion were formed in November 2005 when guitar duo James Davies (Rhythm Guitar / Lyrics) and Kevin Llewellin (Lead Guitar) moved from their native Pembrokeshire to Cardiff in order to start a band. Once there they were reunited with drummer Phil Smith, who had played with them in their previous project, Redeye. The line up was completed by bass player Rich Cogin and vocalist Ross Cocker, two friends of James who met while studying graphics in Newport.
The five piece began to rehearse and develop their sound, taking influence from bands such as System Of A Down and Tool, but blending progressive rock roots with touches of genres as diverse as rapcore and ska to create something truly original.
Taking their name from a clock in the Coal Exchange venue, Spiridion went on to play their first live performance in another of Cardiff’s prestigious venues, Clwb Ifor Bach, in April 2006. Numerous live dates followed around the Cardiff music scene, and the band began to develop a dedicated following.
The band recorded their debut EP 'My Only Answer' at Long Wave studio with producer Romesh Dodangoda (The Blackout, F.F.A.F, Bullet For My Valentine, Dopamine, Manic Street Preachers). The EP went on sale on the 7th December 2007.
"You can tell listening to Spiridion, that underneath all that thrashy guitar, shouty vocals, and hard rocking beats, that they just want to get their teeth into an S Club 7 cover – and make it loud like war. Tight playing, and an ear for a tune, made all distorted and hectic – in a good way." - subba-cultcha.com
"Where Spiridion differ from the rest is that they go for the throat with deadly riffs that barely break a sweat, yet exude enough energy to flatten your brains. There are small parts Deftones and Tool in what Spiridion do, but really this is their sound." - uberrock.co.uk

How are ya? Keeping well? We've changed our band name recently, and just thought we'd let you know about it.
We decided to change from KALEB to DETHONATOR, owing to the presence of other artists trading under the name KALEB. Our new band name DETHONATOR has been chosen to avoid confusion and to promote a brand that stands alone.
Thanks a lot for the add ! EletriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check EletriKa out!
