Band Line Up 2019
The group formed in 2010 when members of several local bands got together to create new music, which progressed into the band Fractions. After a few years of writing material, Fractions completed their debut live show in March 2013. A few more shows and some further member changes led to the creation of the current line-up.
Fractions returned to the UK touring scene in late 2015, playing with such bands as Mage, Internal Conflict, Resin, In Search Of Sun, Ramage Inc. plus many more.
Towards the end of 2016, Fractions began recording their self-produced 5-track EP ‘Forces’ which was released in the Summer of 2017, making several reviewer’s top ten list’s when compiling their EP year end reviews.
Fractions reached the final of Leicester’s Metal 2 the Masses 2017 which was held on the main stage at the iconic De Montfort Hall, as part of the 2017 ‘Uprising Festival’. Playing to a strong audience, their show was met with critical acclaim. Guitarist Chris Johnson was awarded best guitarist of the competition and received an endorsement with Stone Wolf guitars for his efforts.
Later in the summer of ‘17 the band joined the Enso Management roster, progressing on to play numerous dates around the country supporting both underground & recognised artists, with the most notable being Raging Speedhorn. The pinnacle of 2017 was the band achieving a main support slot call up for tech- metal heavyweights Tesseract on their late summer Russia dates.
The band started 2018 strongly by being added to the Vocalzone, Newtone strings and London Drumstick Co’s rosters of artists.
Fractions have recently released a brand new track titled (2019)- “Soundness Of:Mind” showing off the technical progressiveness of the band, and the growth of the bands songwriting abilities.
They are continuing to write, and will have new material for us towards the end of this year.
"It's a huge honour to get a Bloodstock invite, we've all been to the festival many times and to now be able to get up on stage there is massively exciting. We are now living proof that not only does hard work pay off but also that defeat in a M2tM final is not the end, continue being humble and push forward with a positive energy and you will earn results"
