PROMETHIUM - Visions (Casket Music)

Promethium - a heavy metal by-product

Driven by a passion for music, Promethium are bringing back old school Metal with a 21st century twist through enigmatic song writing and powerful, energetic live shows.

Promethium are the by-product formed from the remaining residue of five band meltdowns in Lancaster. A volatile reaction to the tired Thrash which pre-dominated the local music scene, the five-strong group compounded to serve up 'heavy' music for the purists of metallurgical alchemy.

Promethium's music creates a tense interaction of classic instrumentation and emotive vocals. That is the group's hallmark, combing restrained clean guitar tones which gently simmer to bring Gary's raw melodic vocals to boiling point before they suddenly erupt with distortion, compelling the singer to react in the only way he knows - powerfully, throwing down a vocal challenge to the guitars and drums.

In a controlled condition, and with tasteful, seasoned precision, the drums and bass infuse these opposing elements. The loud, rocking results are Promethium; a great stress relief.

Between them the band have over 70 years experience of studio, live and promo work and it shows! Their live shows are energetic, unpredictable and most of all entertaining. They hold the stage like they have always belonged there and make it their own.

In 2009 Promethium released of their debut EP 'Tribute to the Fallen' which received rave reviews and constant radio play from the underground Metal scene. Their newly released 'Welcome to the Institution' will be distributed worldwide by Casket Music.

Is 2010 going to be Promethium's year? The metal underground and the band's fans reckon it will so watch out for them; they are likely to be invading your personal space very, very soon.
