Old Corpse Road is a black / folk metal band from The North-East of the United Kingdom.
The line-up of Old Corpse Road is:
The Bearer - Guitar, Vocals
The Revenant - Guitar, Vocals
The Dreamer - Percussion, Ambience
The Wanderer - Bass, Spoken Word
The Watcher - Keyboards, Violin, Vocals
Thus far they have released one demo ‘The Echoes of Tales Once Told’ on March 13th 2009.
The Birth
The Old Corpse Road was conceived during the autumn season of 2007 during a brief excursion to the Lake District, more specifically Haweswater. This Autumnal break, in celebration of the wondrous and powerful music that we all know as Black Metal, awoke our desire to share our musical passions with other like minded people. The band name was taken from the road of the same name which rises out of the Haweswater valley and leads to Mardale.
The Journey So Far
2008 - Throughout the period of 2008 the band diligently worked on their first musical output focusing on creating classic British black metal fused with the passion and atmospheres created by British folk tales. Crafting each song carefully the band prepared several songs of which five were recorded. Of these three were put forward for the demo. During this year the band also launched a very successful MySpace website along with its own dedicated website.

Ha! That sounds very promising then, but on the other hand with him being familiar with the area, it might ruin my master plan. ;~)

@ Nihility, strangely enough our keyboardist went to uni in High Wycombe, and was mentioning playing there at some point, so it's certainly not out of the question! \m/

When you grand fine fella's decide to extend your live capers down to the sunny south could you look up High Wycombe perchance. The Nags Head pub has good facilities and the area itself has a pretty strong metal scene. No pressure! ;)
