Born of the mind of Kai Giritli (guitars, clean vocals) in 2008, Subversion is a 5 piece melodic tech metal band from Kent in the UK.
Featuring hard hitting aggro vocals from Karl Harrigan, Kai’s hook filled clean vocals and guitar riffs that sway from heavy groove to epic melody, and extremely tight percussion from Ben Atkinson. Dabbling in the arts of odd time signatures combined with huge thought inducing soundscapes; this band is not afraid to push the boundaries of modern music and move away from the norm of any genre.
Their first full length album release “Lest We Forget” (2010) was critically acclaimed by Metal Hammer, Kerrang, Terrorizer and Rock Sound Magazine. Singles such as “Treason”, “Butchered”, & “What We Are Entitled” received airtime on XFM, Total Rock and Radio 1 as well as various international stations across the world securing Subversion a slot on 2011’s Euroblast Festival in Germany.
Entirely self-produced; recorded, mixed and mastered, the design of their website, merchandise and album artwork, social updating and marketing…this band is the full package.
With the newly adopted and very angry Karl Harrigan taking the helm as front man and Ben Atkinson now battering the drums, Subversion are currently writing their second album, due for release in 2014.
This record is sure to showcase everything this band has achieved and more, utilizing their combined knowledge of heavy music, melody, and orchestral soundscapes to make this follow up the best it can be; heavier, more melodic, more experimental and as addictive as possible.
Live, this band does not disappoint. Subversion prides itself on the delivery of a tight set, striving to improve every performance beyond the confines of the last. Attention to detail is the key, and above all so is showing that they love every second of being up on that stage.
Karl’s ability to not only hold but also manipulate a crowd and getting right in there with them, ensures the audience is not only left feeling they have had their money’s worth, but also is the foundation of their ever expanding and loyal fan base.
Having played internationally with the likes of Tesseract, Mnemic, Monuments, Xerath, Hacktivist and Chimp Spanner been a part of UK Tech Metal Festival & Euroblast Festival; Subversion have proven they are dedicated to their art and ready to take on the world. This is not the Subversion of yesteryear.
