About Me

I am a member of the management team at British Metal UK. Along with my little friend JonoWe spend most of our time travelling up and down the country, looking for bands to appear at our shows. We also have a metal Webzine and Forum that we are very proud of, though it has been a bit quiet over there of late. I am taking a break from promoting for the time being, mainly due to the stress, poor turnouts and the huge amount of money that it costs us, but I'm still keeping my hand in by organising one or two big shows each year, one of them being the DOminiON festival.
It doesn't stop me being ultra busy though, in my other role as manager to a bunch of thrash metal reprobates called Pitiful Reign.
It has become my main role in life to make sure that they are well supplied with beer and gigs, and its a non-stop job, believe me !!
Check them out, and if you think we at British Metal can help your band in any way, have a look at our website and get in touch. www.britishmetal.co.uk, or simply....

"We at BMUK are committed to the growth of metal in the UK. Through the events and gigs we promote, we endeavour to bring metal to more and more people. We are proud to say we are fans and are eager to see the scene expand. The only way we can attract the best metal bands from Europe and the USA is to start from the grass roots level and promote and support local gigs – and we try our hardest to do this. We hope to see the metal scene grow to those heady heights of the 80s - but never sacrificing quality for quantity! If you want to see excellent metal, let us know and we will try to bring proven live bands to your area! Additionally, if you are in a band and would like to play one of our shows, get in touch via the contact page. We are especially keen to showcase new uk metal talent and can provide an appreciative metal audience that will support a talented and original band. British Metal has established a reputation as a first class promotions organisation and many bands that have made their UK debuts at BMUK gigs have gone on to play major festivals like Bloodstock and secured loyal fanbases."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


Pitiful Reign started out in mid/late 2003 under the name of Metalegion, originally as a three piece, made up of three friends from school. After the inclusion of Matt Walker on bass, Tom Britton joined the band on lead guitar, leaving Josh to concentrate on rhythm guitar and his role as vocalist.

The following two years saw the band honing their talents, both live on stage and in the studio, releasing 24 Litre Killer (2005) and Toxic Choke( 2006) This was also the year that Pitiful Reign played their most prestigious live show to date, at Bloodstock Open Air, alongside Edguy, Metal Church and Stratavarious; as well as being voted 3rd best UK unsigned band in Terrorizer magazine.

Early 2007 saw Pitiful Reign part ways with Tom Britton, and reform the line up, with the inclusion of Alan Pashby and Nev Britton on guitars, bringing to the band a fresh burst of energy and new ideas.

The new established line-up quickly made it’s mark with the recording of the explosive new 4-track CD "D.I.V.E" which was voted Demo of the Month in Metal Hammer magazine. The release coincided with the announcement that the band had been signed to Italian metal label Punishment 18.

Writing is now completed for the album, entitled “Visual Violence” which is expected to be released in Early 2008; with production duties being taken up by Steve DiGiorgio ( Sadus, ex-Death, ex-Testament, ex-Iced Earth) and Juan Urteaga (Vile, who produced Exodus, Testament and Sadus amongst many others) and with artwork by Ed Repka (Megadeth, Municipal Waste).

The release of “Visual Violence” will see Pitiful Reign poised to bring their beer-fuelled thrash mayhem to the rest of the world!

Visual Violence - Coming May 2008

Produced by Steve Digiorgio (Testament, Iced earth, Sadus)
& Juan Urteaga (Exodus, Testament, Sadus)
