In January 2007 UK metal veterans STAMPIN’ GROUND hung up their gloves
after an 11 year fight to prove that this country is capable of producing
world class bands that can compete and indeed out perform our trans
Atlantic associates.
In the final stages of their success SG destroyed audiences worldwide
leaving 10’s of thousands of metal fans at DOWNLOAD, WITH FULL FORCE, OUR
FESTIVAL, FURYFEST and NEW ENGLAND METAL FESTIVAL thunderstruck, bleeding
and toothless at the merchandise stalls. A direct invitation for main
support with CHIMAIRA finally proved that the British underdog could
outshine any headline act, which then continued all over mainland Europe
with the likes of ARCH ENEMY, ANTHRAX, HATEBREED, AFI, SOULFLY,
BIOHAZARD, IGNITE, AGNOSTIC FRONT and SEPULTURA to name but a few.
Tour after tour the contributing factor to the bands lack of further
support became very clear to vocalist and bass player, Adam Frakes-Sime
and Ben Frost. The self-managed and underground ethic that the band
concentrated on for many years to build popularity in the Hardcore
communities was now the reason restricting them from advancing to the
next level: the fact that 11 year old bands are not priority to the
press. And with that, SG started to hit a wall, it was too late, so Frakes
and Frost started actively seeking a line-up for a fresh new band to
continue the British onslaught, as the end was clearly nearing for SG.
ROMEO MUST DIE soon became hot news on the lips of all devastated
Stampin’ Ground fans, and as excitement grew the 5 track EP was recorded
in March 2007 with Scott Atkins at Grindstone Studios with monstrous
results.
RMD are a band out to prove something and have hit the pre-Stamped ground
running. This is one UK act that definitely has fire in its
breath and is happy to be working with the dependent In At The Deep End
Records for the release of the debut EP «Defined By Enemies»
