Azriel
Azriel (Glasgow, UK) are a 5 piece melodic metalcore band, their sound incorporates plenty of melody as well as crushing breakdowns, with a hardcore edge, showing a new lease into the meaning of metal.
Formed in 2003 they released the demo ‘Man’s Heated Battle’ the following year, catching the attention of top UK independent record label Thirty Days of Night Records (Bring Me The Horizon, Send More Paramedics, Eternal Lord).
Their debut MCD ‘Burn Illusionary Night’ was the labels’ third release, originally appearing in Early 2005, though due to its popularity and overwhelming demand it was later re-issued with alternative artwork in 2006.
The band went on the road with label mates Bring Me The Horizon and Architects in support of the of the EP, as well as a second tour with future label mates Everette. Their live shows garnered the band a solid following, marking them out as one the leading bands in the genre both on stage and on record.
They further solidified this position by releasing a split EP with then TDON label mates Eternal Lord in the spring of 2006, and the anticipation surrounding the release was matched only by the quality of the music the bands produced. The two went on to tour with label mates Clone the Fragile and Everette over the summer of 2006 with huge success and the release itself went on to be one of the labels most popular releases.
2008 marked the release of the Azriel’s first full-length album, which was also the first full length release for Thirty Days of Night. Entitled ‘A Will of Fire’ the album was recorded and mastered by Jason Sanderson (Errander, In At the Deep End Records) and was released on both CD and Vinyl formats. 'A Will of Fire' has already picked up eye catching reviews, with Rock Sound awarding it 9/10.
So we reach early 2009 where, After five years of crawling round the UK, building up a name for themselves further and further out from there hometown of Glasgow, Azriel finally pulled off one of their biggest feats in their career, touring with the world class A Day To Remember.
