Raging Speedhorn:

Raging Speedhorn were formed in August 1998 in the grim English town of Corby. They came together from two rival local bands; Box (John Loughlin, Gordon Morrison and Tony Loughlin) and Soulceller (Frank Regan, Gareth Smith and Darren Smith) This motley crew of freaks, geeks and misfits put aside their rivalries, put down their knives and decided that the world needed a kick in the balls. Britain didn't know what hit it. Just three months after they formed, Speedhorn record their first demo with producer Roddy Stone. Featuring four dense slabs of bilious noise, it delivered a brutal uppercut to all those cynics who said that America was king when it came to aggressive music. The buzz on the grape vine was deafening. The demo sold more than 1000 copies to fans that wanted more than the latest bunch of sad-sacks with their saggy trousers and saggier sounds.

Throughout 1999 and 2000, the Speedhorn phenomenon began to grow at a frightening rate. They played with and blew off stage: Will Haven, Biohazard, Ministry and even Blur guitarist Graham Coxon. Venues were laid to waste- sometimes literally- and fans flocked to the Speedhorn cause.

In August 2000, Raging Speedhorn released their self-titled debut album. It delivered a full-force gut punch to the competition. Suddenly, their riotous brand of extreme noise terrorism was the sound of the streets. Everybody wanted a piece of them. Articles appeared in such respected magazines as Kerrang!, The NME, Metal Hammer and Q. Raging Speedhorn had arrived.

The next 12 months saw Raging Speedhorn stake out their position as the finest metal band the UK had produced in a generation. They travelled the world, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Whenever they came to town, hatches were battened down, police stations were put on red alert and bar owners shuttered up their windows.

All the while, Raging Speedhorn's stature was growing at an amazing rate. In June 2001, they opened the second UK Ozzfest with a performance of mind-blowing proportions. The same month, their very first commercially available single ‘The Gush’ pummelled its way into the UK top 50 – A spectacular feat considering the terror it in inspired in radio and TV programmers.

But there was trouble ahead. Music industry politics –the death-knell for so many bands- sidelined Raging Speedhorn for almost a year. The anger and frustration of this period spilled out on their electrifying second album ‘We Will Be Dead Tomorrow’. This wasn’t rock ‘n’ roll. This was genocide.

The next 18 months rushed by in a blur of noise and blood. There were uproarious tours with Biohazard and Amen. There were lost nights and barely-recalled days. They lost one guitarist (Founder-member Tony Loughlin) and gained another member (Jay Thompson). They moved to London, Cardiff and Stockholm. But all the time, there was something burning inside them- Raging Speedhorn.

Which brings us to the latest chapter in the Raging Speedhorn story. This year will see the release of their awe-inspiring third album, ‘How The Great Have Fallen’. Produced by Queens Of The Stone Age associate Joe Baresi. This is the sound of angry men making violent music for unhinged people.

Raging Speedhorn have already redefined the face of metal. With ‘How The Great Have Fallen, they’ve done it again.

Are you with them?

Im sorry to have offended you with the inclusion of a "c" in your band name.

However name calling is rather pointless really especially on the internet.
