Nailed

about

There are at least 4 artists with this name 1)Despite their ties to the incestuous Anathema/Cradle Of Filth/My Dying Bride family tree, and their geographic origins, West Yorkshire Extreme Metal act NAILED bear little resemblance to predecessors who have hailed from the same fertile Northern breeding ground. Instead their sound draws influences from the Florida and Swedish Death Metal scenes, whilst also accepting the baton from British grind forefathers Napalm Death and Carcass. Coming together in the summer of 2000, NAILED was formed following the disintegration of West Yorkshire Black Metal hopefuls In Dying Grace. Exiled from In Dying Grace, drummer Garth Wray set about pursuing a direction that aligned itself more with the Death Metal scene. Joining this embryonic line-up was guitarist/vocalist Mass Firth, formerly of Blasphemer/Dominion (Peaceville Records) and briefly Ebony Lake (Cacophonous). They recorded first demo 'Every Possible Ugliness' at the end of January 2001. Then, in late July the band were selected to appear on the bill at Wakefield's Clarence Park festival, at this moment in time Yorkshire's longest running free music festival. The band capitalised on the subsequent increase in interest by undertaking further dates, before bowing out at the end of the year opening for NILE and BEHEMOTH. The band then entered Phonic Twist studios in April of 2002 to record their second Demo CD "Calculated Act Of Murder", which showcased their improved technical skills,
