BIOGRAPHY
Forged in Black began in early 2009 with the aim of re-inventing traditional heavy metal with a unique contemporary edge. Operatic vocals lead the charge and are backed by dark, hard-hitting music that includes: full-throttle thrash; epic guitar harmonies; crushing doom riffs and aggressive guttural vocals. The band’s live show embodies the energy of the music by delivering copious amounts of head-banging; charismatic stage presence and much crowd involvement.
Consistently impressing audiences and promoters across the country, Forged in Black has secured higher profile shows along with a host of positive reviews. The most notable show played so far took place at Bloodstock Festival 2012 where the band played under their previous name Merciless Fail; having won the Metal to the Masses and Band Quest competitions.
Other noteworthy shows include: the main stage at Red Roar Festival 2012 (playing alongside bands such as Praying Mantis and Breed 77); Metal Gods Festival2013 (featuring Beholder and Savage Messiah); main support to Skreamer at Camden Underworld; main support to Beholder on the Southend leg of their Order of Chaos tour and most recently slots at the Relentless Garage and Camden Barfly.
Forged in Black releases include the self-titled debut album “Forged in Black.” Originally released under their previous name, Merciless Fail, in late 2011, the album was well received by critics and fans alike. This was followed by the 2013 EP, The Tide which displays the development of the band’s sound and includes tracks which have become a staple part of the band’s live show.
The band has worked with acclaimed producer Romesh Dodangoda (Motorhead, Sylosis, Bullet for my Valentine) for the recording of the single,The Exodus. The single was released in tandem with the band’s first music video. Forged in Black has most recently worked with late great mega producer Chris Tsangarides (Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Yngwie Malmsteen) for the creation of the EPs Fear Reflecting Fear and Sinner Sanctorum. The band released four videos from this release and received a host of positive reviews. Further information about our most recent releases can be found here:
