Dark Days

Gritty British heavy metal defined by dual-guitar harmonies and a working-class heart. A record that sounds like a lost NWOBHM classic unearthed decades later.

It's like finding a pristine, unreleased Iron Maiden demo from 1982 in a dusty Hull attic.

A defiant and melodic exploration of struggle and resilience, rooted in the grit of British industrial life.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sprawling eight-minute progression of Nine Months where the band shifts from mid-tempo brooding to a full-throttle melodic climax.
The gritty, blues-infused guitar solo on the title track that feels like a direct transmission from 1982.
The collaborative energy on Tank where the Nazareth influence brings a swaggering, hard-rock groove to the metal foundation.
