Hand Of Grief

Fuck Off Weak Riffs

About Me

Hand of Grief are a 5 piece metal band hailing from Rotherham, South Yorkshire. we formed in 2007, essentially for the sole purpose of causing damage to eardrums across the globe. A quick demo was thrown together for myspace purposes and then we hit the road, playing all around the country. Hopefully as our tentacles spread out and choke the life out of this god forsaken rock we call the British Isles we can reach more ears and spread the word.
We have been lucky enough to work with some of the best bands in Britain such as Ted Maul, Malefice, Orange Goblin, Viatrophy, Black Sun, Godsized, Tangaroa and more.
We are always looking for shows within the UK. If you want to arrange gigs with us please feel free to contact us via the myspace or [email protected], we're willing to travel as far as necessary.
Please check out the tunes, pics and our brand new videos, filmed live at The Capel in Huddersfield courtesy of DTMastersOh and of course, Get your fuckin arse down to the pub, check us out live and get battered for fuck's sake
