Thousand Points
of Hate are carving their own niche in the murky underworld of UK
heavy metal, with the promise of great things to come.
Formed in late
2002, Thousand Points of Hate - Simon Gordon (ex-Xentrix), Gordie
Liu, Paul Le Huray and Nick Degnen - set out to produce
uncompromising heavy metal with a modern edge. After a period of
rehearsal and live work six tracks of original material were written
and recorded in November 2003, and a deal was soon secured with
Casket Records.
The result was
“Scar to Mark the Day” (CSK029, mixed by Mark Mynett of Kill II This
released 17th May 2004). The debut EP
mixes heavy slabs of guitar with vocals that are in turns hard-edged
and unashamedly melodic.
Following the
release of "Scar to Mark the Day" the band continued with rehearsal
and live work to support the EP and to also work on their first full
length album. In July 2005 Simon had to relinquish his
shouting role due to circumstances outside the band,
so the band set out to find new members. In Sept 2005 Stace
took up the role of shouting. This still left the band short
of a guitarist so in June 2006 James joined the band for a short
stint to then be replaced by full time member Stewey in Nov 2006.
Now back with a full
compliment of band members work on new material has commenced and
live work accompanied by new records are sure to follow.
