We asked Peter to write us a bio of the band from his perspective...
Where do I begin? It’s been one hell of a crazy ride for me growing up listening and being influenced by all that is the sickest rock and metal. I wanted to be in a band… no.. fucking big time, seriously wanted to be in a band, since I was like fourteen or something.
Yes, we are aggressive and explosive, hence the music- which calms like nothing else. We are out there to fight the bullshit that is a backtrack, to mutilate the music that is rave and dance (as they judge us!) and to stand up for all who are different and unique. To our fans we are bodyguards and to our enemies a nightmare.
I started as one of the two lead vocalists for Ichor in around March 2006. When I got there the band consisted of Janine (vocals), Erich (leads), Darius (bass) and Wilbè (drums). I walked into the bandroom after an invitation passed on in a drunken state by Darius (during the MK89 in Bloem show with The Narrow etc.) and I was warmly greeted by some of the weirdest but coolest people I will ever come to know. There I was - mic in my hand and four people staring at me, waiting for me to blow them away. What is a guy to do - put the damn mic on and blow these fuckers away! That’s what I did.
The band was originally started by Darius, Janine, Erich and Janus (ex-guitarist and vocalist) around October 2005 and the performances were mainly covers with one or two songs actually written by someone in the band or friends inspired by the band (we only had a month to get our shit together for a gig so that was the best we could manage :p - Darius). It was not until March 2006 that the members of then "Helms Deep" played in a battle of the bands in Bloemfontein - they lost.
Erich had to leave the band for work and Janine left awhile later to pursue a solo career. We had three other guitarists (on and off) for awhile, A.L, Jerome and Jaco, but conflicting music interests and greener pastures were responsible for them leaving (you're all kickass guitarists, hope you get far). We were then joined by guitarists Bartho Lubbe, an aspiring sound engineer from Damelin college in Bloemfontein and our most recent member, Brandon Solz. Our keyboardist, Brian van Soelen, also had to leave after he sustained damage to his hearing during band practice (feedback...).
Summarising who we are-
From the mountains ,
in the cities,
on a cold winters night,
Hades and the underworld,
would come out to fight
What they forget,
is the Olympus threat,
that the Ichor warriors,
with all there followers,
will ride into battle,
on the white horses of right!!,
Peace and love!
Peter
