AGHAST! are a four-piece extreme metal band from London formed after a drinking competition and subsequent visit to the medic tent at Wacken Open Air Festival, in Germany, 2006. Their music is about tapping into the energy that runs through all types of music that makes you grin, pull faces and shake various parts of your body around in a manner that is generally pleasing. The result being music that makes everyone, including them, want to move. Citing influences from drum and bass to hip hop and rock n roll as the basis for their take on the heavier side of metal. With songs on their new e.p already having been described as a cross between At the Gates and Goatwhore via Nevermore they are set to rip their way into 2011. As the much celebrated Roots Manuva once said "Big tings Agwan". AGHAST! Have shared bills with: Devin Townsend, Meshuggah, Opeth, Obituary, Waking the Cadaver, Malefice, Sylosis, Abbaden, The Smoking Hearts and many many more. Don't expect lackluster fret-gazing when (not if...) you see them live, look out for a joyous assault on your eardrums that will utilise every ounce of energy in the building and leave everyone grinning from ear to ear.
