Band Line Up 2014

Their newly released self-titled EP was recorded by James Dunkley (Amon Amarth, Fun Lovin’ Criminals, Anthrax) at the iconic Foel Studios (My Bloody Valentine, Napalm Death, Klaxons). The EP hosts an evocative but punishing half hour of music showcasing the certainty that KATG is a force to be reckoned with for the future.

The band have recorded some tracks with Chris Fielding (Dyscarnate, Primordial, Conan), for a full length album. They are currently pursuing Festival slots for 2014 and will tour Europe later in the year. KATG are focused on a campaign to get their name out and firmly fastened in the minds of metal’s tastemakers. The EP premiered and was streamed on Terrorizer.

The year 1549. 900 throats cut, the river, arterial red, the rebellion crushed. A massacre of such horror it could not fail to leave an echo. An echo that would last for over 400 years. Phantoms or demons, if you will, waiting to be avenged, waiting to finish what they started. To slaughter those that would seek to control, obfuscate to the highest degree ‘till now their voices unheard. Their timeless bloodlust and anger has found willing vessels to carry on their work, to remove the scourge of the fallacious pretenders.

Conceived from hate and born of desire.

KILL ALL THE GENTLEMEN, once law abiding peaceful men, now incarnated unclean, malevolent remnants of the murdered.

It is time to flee. The Rebellion Is Coming...

When we received notification that we are to play the New Blood stage, we had to go through it a few times to make sure we hadn’t mis-read it. There were so many good bands on the Wychwood/Bloodstock site, including some other local Devon bands, Codex Alimentarius and Huron, many of whom could have gone through; that we knew it was going to be a hard fought competition.

It seems so long ago since we decided to go for the Hobgoblin video competition, (actually we were the first band on there this year) now it’s over and we have emerged as the winning band, it’s hard to believe. We can’t thank Hobgoblin enough; (we will try), for giving bands the platform to essentially have free publicity for their videos for almost a year and on top of that the chance to play at Bloodstock. The M2TM competitions are obviously a great incentive for new bands to get practicing and playing live shows and even if bands don’t get through it gets their name out there.

Thanks of course to Simon at Bloodstock for supporting the whole initiative. The competition for these slots is fierce and Simon has the unenviable job of sorting it all out. So for his efforts and all involved with the Bloodstock New Blood stage we are extremely grateful.

Last but not least a massive thank you to everyone who voted every day for 9 God-damn months! At least now we feel justified for all the spamming :D.

All that remains is to rehearse like crazy, increase our tolerance for Hobgoblin beer and enjoy the whole experience.

See you in August.
