March of Anger have redesigned themselves in many different guises over the years. Starting as a three piece, they played regular gigs in and around the local pub / squat scene, but eventually split when the singer joined the punk / metal cross-over outfit, Maniac.

 

Ultimately, Maniac also folded to allow the true incarnation of March of Anger to evolve. Shaping their sound on heavy riff-based guitars, tribal drum rhythms and atmospheric keyboards, March of Anger rapidly attracted a strong following in and around south-east London.

 

Early gigs saw them play twice at the Marquee Club in London while early demos were played on local pirate radio stations. In 1992 MOA released a 12" mini album entitled "Beautiful World" via the newly formed Record Label.

 

Paul Russell of Metal Hammer magazine rated "Beautiful World" with the comment: I for one will be watching carefully for MOA to march up a few more rungs in the future.

 

Live reviews also noted March of Anger's raw aggressive appeal. Paul Mills of Kerrang noted that the frontman screams like a ruptured rottweiler and looks like your arse! The review concluded with: At the moment, our rock scene is slowly choking to death, and Britain really needs a band like this to loosen the grip and let it breathe.

 

High praise indeed! But one which March of Anger found difficult to meet. Increasingly disillusioned, MOA disbanded in 1993.

 

Various incarnations of March of Anger emerged over the 1990s recording some high quality material, but it wasn't until 2006 that the main core decided to reform to make their unique racket once again.

 

The new four track EP, "Blood Forever More" (2008), recaptures the very essence of MOA - an uncompromising assault! Enjoy...
