Biography

There are at least six bands called “Weapon” (see below). The first band listed, from Alberta, Canada, owns the trademark for the name. As a result, the only other active Weapon as of 2012 (number 5, whose bio is listed below as Weapon 1980) have changed their name to Weapon UK in a settlement arrangement with the Canadian blackened death metal band WEAPON.

1) canadian / band
2) Folk/metal/ambient project from Portugal

3) Melodic Death Metal band from Newfoundland, Canada
5) british band
6) Heavy Metal from United States

1)WEAPON is a Canadian blackened death metal band started by Bangladeshi frontman Vetis Monarch in early 2003 in Calgary, Canada. To date, WEAPON have released one Demo tape, two 7” EPs and three full length albums on CD/LP.

WEAPON signed internationally with Relapse Records in 2011 in anticipation of a full-length debut in 2012, supported by a North American tour with Marduk starting in May 2012.

2) Weapon 1980
Danny Hynes – Lead vocals
Jeff Summers – Lead Guitar/Vocals
Baz Downes – Bass/Vocals
Bruce Bisland – Drums
In March 1980 Danny placed an advert in Melody Maker looking for a band, at the same time Jeff had placed one looking for a singer. Danny auditioned and was offered the job in Jeff’s band, Fast Relief. After several weeks’ rehearsal and one gig under their belt, Danny & Jeff decided to replace the rhythm section. Danny recommended his best friend, bassist Baz Downes (ex- Inner City Unit), who played along side him in Snatch.
