Metal Horror Goth Rock band hailing from the docklands of northwest England, Puppet Master (aka Puppetmaster) formed late in 2006 after siamese twins Elihu Lazarus (Vance Kirkland) and Logan Balthazar (Vince Kirkland) for the first time after being surgically separated at birth were brought together through a chance meeting at the party of a mutual friend.

Although not identical, both twins had rejected the organised religions in which they had been raised and suffered the same strange recurring nightmare. More importantly they both fronted rock bands, singing and playing guitar: With Lazarus the better guitarist and Balthazar the most distinctive vocalist, they decided to form a new band together.

With the addition of bassist Charon, drummer Gui and Dr Sulphate on synthesisers and loops, the twins formed PuppetMaster, taking their name from Robert E Heinleins 1951 science fiction novel, The Puppet Masters because the book has many similarities with their shared nightmare - fighting slug-like parasitic invaders from outer space.
