"Total Defiance"..............

About Me


"Rabid Bitch Of The North" are a four piece hard rock/metal band from Belfast , Northern Ireland. They believe in a no bullshit approach and their music is fast, furious and heavy.
Rabid Bitch of the North are highly influenced by Motorhead, Judas Priest and Accept as well as others from the NWOBHM (Raven, Blitzkrieg, Saxon, Angelwitch, Witchfinder General and too many others to list). They take inspiration from a lot of the lesser known bands who they believe are severely overlooked in terms of musical genious. Bands like these have influenced Rabid Bitch to forget about trends and the "who told who, who was good and what to do" type of attitude that seems to exist in the popular music of today. Rabid Bitch of the North try to make their very own, original, new sound that stays true to what they believe heavy rock/heavy metal should be.
They see heavy rock/heavy metal (what ever you call it) in its original form before crossover and "over labeling of genres" ruined the music's identity. "RBOTN" believe that "metal" by todays standards is a confused, mixed up music style that has largely forgotten where its roots come from and has an identity so varied and loose it is no longer recognisable.With their own sound, they try to work with many traditional heavy metal influences (as well as a few others) with the intension of making something new and original. They do this yet still try to keep the sound recognisable as headbangers music!
Rabid Bitch of the North aim to inject some long lost fun, energy, excitement and most importantly Rock n Roll back into the messy world of "Metal" delivering heavy, fast paced music, with the middle finger up to all those who kick them down and try to tell them what is what!

GORAK: I'm the really loud one! Iced Earth, Ice T, Vanilla Ice, Ben & Jerrys, Dale Farm, Captain Quencher, Frosty the Snowman, Most Hardcore Jungle Trance, Skooter, that feeling in your head when you sit up too quickly, Ghost of a Fadda Dog, and the minus degrees of Winter/Spring when your balls crawl back into your body making you less a man.


Sounds Like: Nothing else previously encountered, totally heavy metal but definitely original and possibley un-orthodox in approach. We got our own thing going on and we're open to the possibilities of all the sounds stemming from ac/dc to motorhead to Artillery to Judas priest and Accept. All the sounds made by these sort of bands over their careers also varies quite alot (if you are familiar with them), we would be open to incorporating all of these elements in our music without prejudice to what's metal and what is not.
