Info
Either something menacing is creeping through the water in Brighton,
England, or the city best known as a colourful seaside haven has
finally decided to bare its dark underbelly and gloriously sharp
teeth.
Recently
the city’s rapidly rising and increasingly respected metal
scene has spawned the likes of Johnny Truant and Architects, but
now the hour has come for Brighton’s newest sons to stand
tall. Planet Earth: meet Centurion.
Though
only a year young, Centurion have made quite a mark on their home
turf and beyond, swinging their hefty, death plated punch at the
heads of grateful punters nationwide at shows alongside their
aforementioned townsmen, as well as the likes of Horse The Band,
Ephel Duath and Every Time I Die. Centurion also recently toured
the UK as main support to acclaimed British crew Bring Me The
Horizon, and were flown over to Sweden to play at the 2006 Treasurefest
alongside the likes of Purified In Blood and Jeniferever.
Centurion
offer up a thick stew of hyper-aggressive riffing and mammoth
grooves, splicing the mix with flashes of accomplished technicality
and vehement vocal bile, yet the quintet manage to retain an irresistible
mood of energy and, dare it be said, fun in their live performance.
With
press plaudits already flowing and a solid fanbase built, Centurion
are now ready to raise their game, their recently completed debut
E.P ‘One Hundred’ an unrelenting metallic drama that
swings between ferocious and epic with a masterful ease. ‘One
Hundred’ caught the attention of respected UK label In At
The Deep End (Gallows, Architects, Send More Paramedics), and
the label will be unleashing the E.P in early 2007. Centurion
will also hit the road again in January as support to Japanese
metalcore crew Versus The Night, and will also be opening for
hometown compadres Architects and Canadian newcomers The Gorgeous
on selected dates of their UK trek.
The
time has come to welcome Centurion with open arms.
