Formed in April 2007 following the split of previous band
'Project Valkyrie' Blades of Angels are aiming to bring elements of their old style together with new direction and a focus on acoustic
rock, and continue to play around the UK. Pete and Gez have played music together
since 2002 when they formed the UK metal band 'Project Valkyrie', who over the
following 5 five years toured all around the UK, recorded 2 EP's and 1 album
with legendary producer Gavin Monaghan (Jesus Mary Chain, Nizlopi, Miss Black
America), featured on Scuzz and Redemption television channels and provided
the soundtrack to indie action movie 'The Silencer' (www.the-silencer.co.uk).
Following PV's split in early 2007 Pete and Gez decided against returning to
the complications that are inevitable when 4 or 5 people are in a band together,
and instead chose to work as an acoustic duo. Musically they are maintaining
the ambient melody and dark undertones that were PV's trademark, but now screaming
vocals have been replaced by a softer singing style and crunching guitars have
become clean, full and echoing. Work is progressing well on the first E.P provisionally entitled "From Darkness Comes Only Light..." which will feature the drums of Russ Johnson a long time friend and incredible musician.
