Black Whiskey, based in Surrey (UK), and formed by the former Xentrix and Hellfighter vocalist, Simon Gordon, have signed  with Rocksector Records for their debut album release in late 2014.

Over the years the band members have been involved in genres as diverse as NWOBHM, Thrash Metal, Blues, Alt Rock and Prog Rock but when Gordon (vocals / ex-Xentrix and Hellfighter), Kev Ingles (guitar / ex- 3 State Blues and Weapon), Mark T. Parkin (bass, legendary producer Steve Booker’s band) and Rich Bannister (drums / ex-Nakedium) spoke about putting a band together, the common ground was Classic Rock.

Black Whiskey draw their influences from the timeless sounds of the 70s and 80s ranging from Led Zeppelin, Free, UFO, Thin Lizzy and The Scorpions. Their songs are delivered with heart and authenticity, from the powerful, soulful vocals to the blues-soaked guitar, all underpinned by the solid groove of the powerhouse rhythm section.

Simon Gordon was vocalist in Xentrix from 1994-1997, during which time the band toured and released the album “Scourge”. In 2008 he formed Hellfighter with former Xentrix bandmates Kristian Havard and Dennis Gasser, releasing the album “Damnation’s Wings” in 2009.

Mark Appleton, label manager at Rocksector says “I’ve known Simon for a few years now, having first seen him play live in Manchester. His ability and versatility are obvious to all who’ve heard him and when he approached me with a view to helping with this Black Whiskey release, frankly it took seconds to come up with an answer. He’s assembled a quality line-up that delivers a sound which is as fresh and exciting as it is classic”

Obzidian goes back to the founder’s high school days when Baz (guitars), Paul (drums) and Jeffsy (bass) formed the basis of the band in 2001. Having added a couple of further members in the formative years, by early 2005, the line-up was stripped back to just one guitarist, Baz, whilst Matty J was added as frontman and vocalist, and the band’s current groove-laden sound was conceived.

In March 2007 the band signed with Casket Records and went on to release their self-titled debut in 2007 and “Damned Eternal” in 2012. They played extensively in support of these two releases building a solid reputation across the UK, sharing the stage with the likes of Sepultura, Crowbar and Arch Enemy.

“A touch of Sabbathy doom and a hint of death metal violence” Kerrang!

Now in 2014 they unleash their 3rd full length offering “Concrete Psychosis” which is set for release later this year on Rocksector Records.

“A genuinely creative spark and passion… bringing to mind classic Priest, mid-era Megadeth and Testament, intricately woven together with a taught melodic thread”
ZERO TOLERANCE

“A big hit at Bloodstock Festival… far too good to languish in self-sufficient obscurity. Vocalist Krissie has the range and melodic intelligence of Heart’s Ann Wilson, but with more than a dash of Dio’s dramatic power”
