About Me

ServantTo Your Death live
Midlands based Headless Cross started life nearly 4 years ago when guitarist Dave Silver broke free fromprevious band commitments to start his own band. The band set about writing material and playing gigs.After nearly a year and a half the band finally found the right line-up and direction, and began giggingheavily all over the country.
On the circulation of the bands first proper demo "Crown Of Thorns", the band were overwhelmed by theunanimously positive response, being compared to Judas Priest, Metallica, Atrophy, Gammacide and a wholehost of great metal bands from the 80's heydays.
In July 2005 the band started work on their up-coming E.P. entitled "Burning Sanctuary", with producerengineer Mark Stuart (Marshall Law, Xentrix, Magnum). Intended to showcase the diversity of the bandssound, going from fast and aggressive one minute, to quite and reflective the next.
The band have been gigging solidly playing on average 4 gigs a week since September 2005 and plan oncontinuing this intensity adding to the already large following they have gained nationwide. The bandwere lucky enough to take part in the first ever Dominion festival next to bands such as Skyclad, Humanfortress, Deliverance and Conquest of Steel.
2006 was a hard year for the band having line-up turmoil that was never properly resolved. Although a particular highlight was when Headless Cross took to the stage at the Bloodstock Open AirFestival, alongside such greats as Metal Church, Stratovarious, Athiest and Edguy.
2007 saw band leader and sole songwriter Dave Silver leave the band to concentrate on new project SAVAGE MESSIAH. Headless Cross is subsequently no more.
