Band Line Up 2011
Band Photo Gallery
This line-up has remained
stable since early 2008, and their live shows are a testament to their
dedication and passion for their music.
Musically, comparisons are often made to Opeth, Emperor, Mastodon and
Cynic; however this barely touches on the kaleidoscope of influences, both
metal and otherwise, that combine to deliver a truly original, mesmerising and
often transcendental sound. Spires
combine technicality and intricate musicianship with a flare for songwriting
that never loses touch of what music should be about, and helps the songs flow
seamlessly as they progress.
Spires
released their hotly anticipated debut full length
album, 'Spiral of Ascension' in November 2010.
Featuring 8 songs, and over 65 minutes of highly original music, the
album has received huge amounts of praise and respect from around the world. It is a culmination of everything the band
has sought to achieve, with a fantastic production, tight and passionate
performance, and beautiful artwork from Daniella Morrison.
Spires
' live performances have earned them a regular
sizeable following around the North of England, and a reputation as an
extremely tight, energetic, passionate and hard working live band. They have an ability to grab peoples
attention and make them listen, appealing to fans of music at all ends of the
spectrum. The band has achieved a great
deal in three years, and 2011 will see them going on a mini UK tour with London
based Prog Metallers Talanas, playing Bloodstock Open air, and preparing
material for the second album.
