Colonel Blast are a metal band pure and simple. We play the music we like to hear. We are musicians. Not members of a scene. We don’t really care who you know. We don’t really care what you think you know. This is for us. If it is also for you, then that is a bonus.
Colonel Blast:
Darryl Jones – Vocals
Mike Lovatt – Bass
Ineal Sandhu – Drums
Ben Whitfield – Guitar
Andy Milnes – Guitar
Influenced by but not constrained to the style of bands such as Cryptopsy, Carcass and Converge.
“To call Colonel Blast brutal is doing them a disservice, I’m not sure there is a word that can do justice to their sound… So, let’s just say it’s heavier than a bull elephant’s nut sack the week before mating season.”
This is Not a Scene
“Colonel Blast don’t treat their listeners like imbeciles, they don’t spell everything out for you. They play the music that they want to play and it’s up to you to figure it out. Marvellous!”
Loucifer Speaks
“You want Hardcore, they give you thrashing hardcore. You want Death Metal or Grindcore influences, they give you that. It is this variation in style that sets Colonel Blast apart from most other bands in this genre. They are more than capable of playing face-meltingly fast and heavy tunes, but more than that there is an intelligence to their music which means it is never dull or labored.”
Cack Blabbath
“Colonel Blast are intense, as they have managed to cram multiple elements into a 30 minute album that leaves you with a buzz of adrenaline that makes you feel like you’ve been in a UFC fight with Georges St Pierre and lived to tell the tale!”
Alt Sounds
“A hugely impressive debut release that showcases a unique sound married to a near-frightening emotional intensity - definitely worth your time.”
One Metal
“Colonel Blast manage to blast apart the walls far more convincingly than many of modern metals seasoned veterans.”
Malek - UK Metal Underground
“The new Colonel Blast is everything a great underground band should be: they shred, they're mellow at times, they're intelligent, they're angry, they're emotionally engaging, and they have a polished yet raw intensity to them.”
