The story so far... In 2005 Rhythm Guitarist/Vocalist Adam Calderbank set up a project with a drummer and lead guitarist found in local ads. Calderbank wrote a batch of songs and the band recorded what was to be a debut 4 track demo Just Desires in april 06. After a stint of gigs across the UK in the summer, commitment became an issue for some of the members and the band slowed to a halt. Calderbank regained the search for musicians that wanted to start a serious project and push on. In November 06 Calderbank found Drummer Rob Urqhuart and Lead Guitarist Andy Higham. Instantly a band was formed and began to work on new material and inject energy into the existing material. This was the start of Element. Element played the first gig of the all new line up in Febuary 07 at Manchesters Roadhouse supporting newly signed act Bullets For Teeth, and continued to gig all over the UK as far as Glasgow to support newly signed act Speed Theory grabbing any oppertunity to gig anywhere and everywhere. In May the band went on to accept the offer to play support for the legendery NWOBHM band Diamond Head that were so influencial to Metallica and Megadeth. Over the summer the band also landed a support slot with Evile (earache records - recently supported Machine Head and Megadeth) and have recently played alongside RSJ, The Inbreds, Strain, I-Remain as well as many other serious up and coming underground acts. Right now the band are finalising brand new unheard material for the debut album (being recorded in Febuary 08) The chance was given for the band to undergo a paid minitour of Italy in Febuary thanks to a promoter that saw the band perform with Diamond Head, however the band have prioritised the album. Element have booked an out of town studio and producer (who has great experience in this genre) to record the debut album and believe he will get the great results the band deserve. Our debut album, 'Under the Influence' was released April 30th through Vibes Records and has garnered great sales, amazing reviews and an ever-growing fanbase, who always show their huge support at almost every gig and are fiercely loyal to Element for proof - check out www.myspace.com/elementsound for reviews, blogs, tour dates, videos and a mass of live shots that only show a fraction of damage that element cause on stage.
