Album Notes

Formed in 2003 by Stuart Laurence (lead guitar), Pat Doyle (drums), Beverly Barrington (rhythm guitar), Brendon Bigelow (bass) and Erika (vocals), IGNITOR exploded out of the Texas metal forge with scorching intensity. Playing a classic yet fresh take on the heavy metal of the 1980s, IGNITOR quickly proved they were an unexpected force from US shores with which to be reckoned.

The band released "Take to the Sky" in April 2004. "Take" was highlighted as Demo of the Month by Germany's Rock Hard magazine, and PowerMetal.de announced IGNITOR as one of the Top Newcomers of 2004. Scores of favorable reviews poured in from all over the world: from the States to Germany, down to South America and over to Japan. The classic metal clan embraced IGNITOR with open, leather-clad arms.

Spring of 2006 saw a lineup change - Beverly out and shredder Annah Moore in. Re-vitalized by this new addition, the band is forging ahead with recording their full length debut, "Road of Bones."

IGNITOR has wasted no time moving up in the ranks of the US heavy metal circuit, and has since shared stage space with greats such as WASP, Motorhead, MOD, Hammerfall, Jag Panzer, Raven and Virgin Steele. They made the metalheads sweat at the Monterrey Mexico Metalfest Vol II in May 2005. In November 2005, they caused the attendees of Germany's Keep It True V Festival to spill their beer in awe with a performance lauded as "the best of any opener in KIT's history." With a licensing deal for "Road of Bones" in the works, the band is poised to prove that the flame of true heavy metal will never burn out.

IGNITOR is on fire.
