Sedition formed in 1999, unleashing their own brand of traditional 80's-style heavy metal on Brisbane's live music venues. They released their first full-length album Arcane Secrets in 2001. After some line-up shuffles and periods of absence from the live scene, the band rebuilt its line-up in 2005, recruiting Andrew Dowling on bass, Brendan Moore on drums and Richard Ofsoski on vocals.
After the disbandment of Sydney power metal act Dungeon in December 2005, Dowling left Sedition to move to Sydney and play bass for Lord (which rose from the ashes of Dungeon). Subsequently, ex-Dungeon bass player, Glenn Williams was recruited to join the ranks of Sedition. This arrangement proved short lived and the band decided to enlist Simon Polhill on bass, bringing a 'Steve Harris' style sound to the band.
Along with a new line-up comes a new sound. Sedition's melodic elements have been exploited to the max while retaining the thrashy riffs and twin guitar harmonies Sedition are known for. The overall sound is more dynamic, some of the new songs are both the fastest and slowest tempos yet written.
Over the next 6 months the band will be playing shows in support of their brand new full length album, World Of Illusion.
