Glass Artery

Glass Artery are a five piece "Dooshbag Metal" band primarily based in Hertfordshire. The band formed in December 2006 of three of the closest friends with a desire to write big, heavy, grooving music. With one of the best drummers around added to the mix and the later addition of an explosively talented guitarist the band came to life creating metal music combining hardcore with melody and a certain groove that made it an all together unique sound.Since the final format of Alun Davies on Vocals, Chris Tidey and Simon Ellis on Guitars, Adam Aldridge on Bass, Alex Budge on Drums was set in stone, the band have recorded some of their best material on the soon to be released E.P 'Soundtrack To A Barfight' and have acheived some notable show dates (a headline slot at Camden Underworld being one of the best) along with some local radio exposure (Hertbeat FM) and entry into various well known 'battle of the bands' competitions (Battle 4 Bloodstock, Surface Unsigned).However, for Glass Artery this is just the beginning. The band are building on a dedicated fan base with more and more dates being booked at some prestigious venues, merchandise available for fans to purchase and an ambition to make the band the best it can be.REVIEWS AND PRESS"There were lots of t-shirts, and they had their own merchandise stall, so I was impressed and anxious at the same time. Could this professionalism be covering a lacklustre sound? I really shouldn’t have worried.""Glass Artery’s type of metal is involving, or at least the way to fully appreciate them is to get involved, throw yourself head first into the mosh pit and surrender to the will of the subtle bass lines, the flamboyant guitar parts and most important of all, the gritty, screaming vocals that are not just mindless violence articulated, Glass Artery combine the traditional screaming with an almost peaceful serenade that soothes the madness.""The contrasting style of Glass Artery shows that they are that professional."-David Couchman, Surface Unsigned
