About Me
Metallurgy is a melodic heavy metal band from Brisbane, Australia.
Metallurgy have a very unique sound which includes heavy, yet melodic and catchy guitar lines, twin guitar harmonies, virtuosic lead guitar, driving bass lines, arse kicking drumming with a heavy double kick influence, plenty of solos from all instruments, the occassional progressive twist and soaring melodic vocals.
The band cleverly blends elements from many different styles of music such as traditional heavy metal, hard rock, thrash, death metal, progressive rock and metal, neo-classical, power metal and blues.
Metallurgy's sound is often compared to the likes of Iron Maiden, Iced Earth, Black Sabbath, Dio, Megadeth, Dungeon, Helloween, Blind Guardian, Guns n' Roses and Skid Row, amongst many others.
James (Lead guitar/Vocals) and Liam (Drums) met in 2000 and began playing covers from their favourite bands at the time. It wasn't until 2003 when the two started writing original music and saw the arrival of the name Metallurgy, meaning 'the scientific study of metal'. The band started gigging that same year and in 2005 released a 2-song demo CD-R.
After numerous line-up changes, Metallurgy have now recruited Power Metal Sam on bass and Ian Hard (Born From the Ashes/ex Praetorian) as second guitarist, and this is the strongest and most tight-knit line-up the band has ever seen.
Metallurgy have shared the stage with many quality metal acts including Paul DiAnno, Mortal Sin, Shackles (R.I.P.), Darker Half, Dungeon (R.I.P), Empyrean, The Butterfly Effect, Eyefear, Inane Eminence, Arkheth, Template, Jobson's Dreamkillers, Function Cease and LORD to name just a few!
As of 2009, Metallurgy are in the middle of recording their long-awaited debut album.
...a powerful and energetic live act that you can't afford to miss!
