Band Line Up 2015

Spawned from an area that has Heavy Metal running right through its veins, Left For Red were born in 2010 in the West Midlands, and were nourished by the records of Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. Left For Red consists of LC Decoy (Vocals), Aaron Foy (Guitar), Philip Smith (Guitar), Daniel Carter (Bass) and Rob Hadley (Drums).  The five piece began to expand upon their earlier influences and soon immersed themselves in the likes of Strapping Young Lad, Tool and Deftones, before arriving at their very own blend of modern heavy metal.

By the end of 2011, Left For Red had laid assault to their local vicinity and soon assembled a growing army of fans due to their fledgling reputation for rampant live shows. Fast forward to the present day, and the rising metal crew have supported the likes of Chimaira, Crowbar, Sylosis, Beholder,

Breed 77 and many more.  They have headlined sold out shows at 02 Academy twice and were crowned winners of Kerrang’s TNA competition. 

The band chalked up critical praise for their debut EP 'Left For Red Vol 001 - Empty Shell' which was released in 2010.The five-piece then plunged forward with the release of their 3- track EP ‘Vol 002 – Mercy Flight’, which was released 1st December 2012 and received praise from well known publishers such as Kerrang, Rocksound and Big Cheese Magazine as well as other online webzines. ‘Vol 002 - Mercy Flight’ comes at you with engulfing riffs, contagious vocal lines and powerhouse beats.  The band have produced a radiating piece of modern metal loaded with a progressive twist

2014 opened a new chapter for Left For Red as they went into the studio to work on their first full-length album, titled ‘All Things Known and Buried’, which was released on Burning Halo Records in April 2015.  This is followed by a heavy touring schedule.

Look out for the raucous metal heads when they bring the party to your town, as they plan to tour extensively for the remainder of the year.

Half A Ton Of Metal could soon be trampling on a stage near you!!!!!!!! 

“Left For Red are over the moon to be playing Bloodstock Open Air 2015.  As long time attendees of the festival, we have seen so many great bands, including a number of friends of LFR, tear Catton Hall apart and we look forward to doing nothing less than that. BOA gives unsigned bands a fantastic opportunity to get their music heard and we are forever grateful to be chosen to help represent the thriving West Midlands metal scene. BOA we are coming for you!”
