1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.
We are a 4 piece metalcore band based in Carmarthen.
Robert Williams: lead guitar/vocals
Steff Davies: Drums
Iwan Brown: bass/vocals
Tom Ferriman: rhythm guitar/vocals
We will have been playing live shows for a year in April, during our time together we have released 3 singles (Hollowed Existence, Fuelling Fire & Dead Man's Eyes) as well as an EP. We are currently working on new material for an album which is yet to be announced.
Each member of the band has different influences therefore our song writing is inspired by a variety of metal bands such as BFMV, Trivium, The Ghost Inside, slipknot, cannibal corpse and many more.
2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2025 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time?
This will be our first time playing in M2TM. We decided to enter to gain more experience playing in front of a larger audience and judges as well as getting the chance to meet more people in the scene and bands to look out for. Each member of the band’s dream is to turn what is currently their hobbies into a full time job and we believe M2TM will be the perfect direction to take to make our dream a reality.
3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?

3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?
Supporting the local scene is very important to us. Without other local bands agreeing to play shows with us or asking us to play shows with them, we would not be in the position that we are now. It’s also very important to build a good relationship with other local bands so we can all work together and help each other succeed in the music scene.
4. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?
No matter what the outcome turns out for us, we hope to make a positive impact for everyone who watches us perform at M2TM. We want to spread our music across to as many people who are willing to listen so that we can bring our fans to more shows and give them the opportunity to listen to more bands and help the scene grow. Alongside making new connections and friends with other local bands for future shows and expanding our fan base. Also to impress local music promoters and potential record companies.
5. What would playing a Sold Out Bloodstock Festival mean to you?
Playing a sold out Bloodstock festival would mean the world to all members of the band. We have all worked hard to get to where we are currently at so if we were able to play at Bloodstock it would show us and other bands that all the hard work will pay off. Every single member of the band's goal is to make it on the bill for Bloodstock as we are all huge fans of the festival so the opportunity to play there means everything to us.
6. We encourage all the bands in M2TM to try and check out the other bands. Who are you most looking forward to? Who should your fans also try to catch?

During this last year, we have come across a number of local bands who have or haven’t already played shows with us. Every single band deserves to get as much exposure as they can. We recommend our fans to check out Bleed the Fifth, Struggler, Paradox to Stay and Akuma as we’ve had first hand experience checking these guys out and know they will not disappoint. We recommend our fans to listen to as many local metal bands as possible as we will be looking to work with as many bands as possible in the future.
