MMA Highlights - Music by Take the Willing Fight Music
If you have not heard TAKE THE WILLING, you have yet to hear a band this dedicated to assaulting the boundaries of modern unconventional hardcore/metal. The band consists of Nathan Sowter (lead vox), Kurt Andersen (guitars, Backing vox), Kaya Rayner (Guitars), Jayden Faass(drums), and David Lennon(bass). All members are close childhood friends who are currently pursuing a passionately, brutal and intense approach to their music. No matter how you interpret it, one thing is for sure: Take the Willing delivers a violently driven, angst and rhythmically insane sound. They are a band willing to tackle a noise that is exploding with atmospheric melodies and killer hooks. These guys are emerging from a hailstorm of sonic brutality to bring you an overwhelming style that involves more then just playing their instruments, and creating quality music…..its a way of life.

Take the Willing may be a relatively new band in New Zealands ever popular metal scene, but they have already made quite an impact up and down their country with their hard hitting, aggressive and generally kick arse live show. You may have seen them when they were supporting Blindspott on their nationwide tour, or over summer where they once again hit the stage with Blindspott, with the addition of kiwi punkateers The Bleeders and Full Nelson. The shows were pretty damn loud to say the least! It all doesn’t end here though it isn’t just the tour that rates in their highlights. The up and coming support slot with Hatebreed has the lads foaming at the mouth, and if you ever have the opportunity to talk to any of them about their up and coming album ‘Fight Music’, well the word excitement really doesn’t give their reaction justice. TTW is heading over to Sweden to mix and master their album with all time favourite producers: Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lovstrom. Locally these guys have produced Blindspott’s recent album, as well as international heavy weights Poison the Well and Refused. Plans for their first solo nationwide tour to coincide with the release of ‘Fight Music’ are all in the pipeline. Take the Willing are set for big things, so stay tuned for more.-Mikhal NorrisI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

Sounds Like: MUSIC FOR 'MMA MOUNTAIN' BY TAKE THE WILLING....

Take the Willing is a hard-hitting metal/hardcore band hailing from Tauranga, New Zealand. Their heavy trademark sound has been welcomed by audiences throughout New Zealand during their nationwide tour with Blindspott, and more recently during the summer tour with Blindspott, The Bleeders and Full Nelson. Although cramming into a sweaty van with their best mates and a box of beer features in the band’s highlights; playing with Australian hardcore acts Parkway Drive and The Valley at Killerfest 07, along with opening for New York hardcore heavy weights, Hatebreed, definitely sparks up an excited response from everyone in the band. They may have only formed early 2006, but they are already making quite an impact up and down the country, and are rapidly collecting a number of very loyal and very enthusiastic fans.
