Over the early years Ricky enlisted members to help him create the band that he envisioned. Through various incarnations, The Harrowed's style has progressively evolved, beginning as a thrash band with power metal influences and steadily growing more intense as members appeared who could do justice to Ricky's riffs. Darren McLennan's melodic shredding and well crafted lyrics, the crushing drumming of Tim Hinton, Daniel Wall's concise bass playing, and the uncompromising vocals of Mick O'Neil, have created a formidable force in modern thrash metal.

Now located in Adelaide, South Australia, the current line up continuously strives to refine their diverse musical styles, with each member bringing his intensity to the music of The Harrowed.

Their debut CD for Massacre Records contains nine brutal tracks blending old and new school thrash with touches of death metal. Subtle intricacies in timing and aggressive riffs are blended with engaging melodies and provocative lyrics to create an album which stands alone in the metal scene for its creativity and integrity.
