DUST

Dark. Hard. Unapologetic. The bastard offspring of Goth/Industrial and Spooky/Rock.

Formed in Cardiff then long since relocated to the dark underbelly of London, the band has played the most exciting and energetic live shows the UK Goth/Alternative scene has ever seen. The band have graced then disgraced venues all over the UK including the Camden Palace, Hackney Ocean, The Garage (Islington), Camden Underworld (more times that can be counted!), Whitby Goth Weekend (twice) and Bath, Sheffield, Reading and Cardiff Universities (to name but a few). Their incendiary shows along with their self released albums have won the band the acclaim of the underground scene and earned them a reputation for delivering a fantastic live performance.

But that isn’t enough. After playing the Belgian Euro-Rock festival, getting some fantastic reviews in the major music press for their EP “Lords of Madness” and working with producer Jose Alvarez-Brill the band decided that still they could be so much more. They want to explode across the entire music scene and not just the UK underground. So with the volume hoisted up and a year writing new songs DUST has been re-booted and taken up a notch, with a bigger, better, harder & faster line-up and a spookier, more ethereal sound with bouncy, crunchier bass! For the new album DUST have also lost the live guitar making them unique in outfit & line up as well as sound.

Despite a few live shows (the band don’t like to stray too far from the stage!) the band are currently holed up, exiled to the studio, recording their new album (titled “Mind-Forged Manacles”) based on the theme of reaching for oneís goals to the point of insanity, the album explores the vices and devices on the road to madness and self destruction.
