Tredegar, Wales-based metal outfit Anterior formed in December 2003, its inaugural line-up consisting of vocalist and guitarist Luke Davies, guitarist Leon Kemp, bassist James Britton, and drummer Ross Andrews. A summer 2004 demo caused local promoters to select the group as support to bigger artists like DragonForce, The Black Dahlia Murder, Himsa, and 3 Inches Of Blood. \u201cBasically, we were school kids messing around,\u201d remembers Luke Davies, vocalist and co-founder of Anterior. \u201cI bought a guitar when I was 13 or 14-years-old. Me and James Britton the bassist \u2013 I think he was even playing drums at that point \u2013 just started playing covers; old punk covers were a thing when we were kids, old Misfits and everything. We formed this band, and went through a few line-up changes. Leon joined a little while later on, and we started to take it a little more serious then to take it from a hobby to a career \u2013 well, as much as you can when you\u2019re 16-years-old anyway. We were playing every show that was possible, every local band show; if we were lucky to get on one, we were more than happy to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tale behind Anterior\u2019s moniker isn\u2019t a riveting one. \u201cWhen we were 14-15-years-old, we just thought \u2018We need a band name for this,\u2019\u201d the singer recalls. \u201cWe messed about with a couple of ideas and just looked in a book, and literally saw this word \u2018anterior\u2019. I\u2019m not even sure what I was reading at the time, but I thought \u2018That sounds cool \u2013 we\u2019ll use that.\u2019 It isn\u2019t the most interesting of stories, but that\u2019s the truth at least.\u201d<\/p>\n

The assortment\u2019s first proper studio outing was helmed by producer Tim Hamill, the culmination of which would be the December 16th, 2006 announcement that Anterior had inked a record contract with Metal Blade Records. \u201cWe made a couple of demos, but we made a serious one when we were 17 down in Llangennech in a studio called Sonic One,\u201d Luke reckons. \u201cWe signed a management deal off the back of that demo with a company in California, and they shopped the demo around to various labels. We had two offers come in; one from Metal Blade, and one from Joey DeMaio\u2019s metal label Magic Circle Music. Basically it was the same offer from both labels, but in our view we thought that the Metal Blade roster was more similar to us. They\u2019re a bigger record label; you can just look at the releases they put out every year and the bands on there to see that it\u2019s a colossal metal label. We signed with Metal Blade, and I suppose everyone knows the rest I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n

June 2007\u2019s This Age Of Silence<\/em> marked Anterior\u2019s inaugural full-length. \u201cIt was basically four of the tracks that we\u2019d recorded for the demo initially, and we recorded another five tracks,\u201d the frontman discloses. \u201cThe recording process for that was pretty arduous because at the time we were overwhelmed with signing to a record label. Being under the same roof as Unearth, As I Lay Dying, Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder \u2013 bands like that \u2013 we were really struggling, going \u2018Can this be as good and compete with these really big bands?\u2019 and everything. It was really honest though. We sat down with a guitar \u2013 me, Leon and the drummer \u2013 and literally just battered out the best stuff we physically could at the time and then lightly tweak them, which was more often than not taking stuff out rather than adding stuff in (laughs). <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all up for doing \u2018Orion\u2019-type stuff (Metallica instrumental, featured on March 1986\u2019s Master Of Puppets<\/em>); massive, lengthy things, passages that you never usually hear in mainstream metal. We filtered all the stuff out that we thought was a little bit over the top, and made sure that everything that went on was the best that we could do. We were really happy with scrapping things; we wouldn\u2019t write 12, 15 or 20 songs, and then whittle them down to the required amount for the album. We would say \u2018Ok, we\u2019ve got this song.\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s good enough for the album.\u2019 \u2018Brilliant.\u2019 Or we would say \u2018We\u2019ve got another song.\u2019 \u2018It\u2019s not quite good enough.\u2019 \u2018Alright, let\u2019s scrap it and start again.\u2019 That was the mentality that we had, and it\u2019s still the same today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there are always things that we would change slightly if we had been given the financial benefit as well as more time,\u201d he continues, queried as to whether he would change aspects of the album with the benefit of hindsight. \u201cThe thing is, it\u2019s a really strong record. It\u2019s an honest record, you know? We would like to shorten things down again if we were to go back and re-record it, although I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any point in messing with it. That\u2019s what we did; we recorded it and released it, so we should just leave it there. I would have taken more time to record the vocals though, probably. We really didn\u2019t have much time in the studio \u2013 we were really pushed. It was a little bit like \u2018We can\u2019t really do that \u2013 that\u2019s the way it\u2019s gotta be, so let\u2019s move on.\u2019 I would like to have redone some things if possible, and I\u2019m not a massive fan of the artwork. I think it could\u2019ve been better, but again time and finances led to what it was. <\/p>\n

\u201cAt the time we had an in-house designer from Metal Blade do the artwork; his name is Brian Aimes and he\u2019s a really, really good artist, but what it ended up being was really rushed. We didn\u2019t want it to be digital; we wanted it be designed by a real artist who could physically draw things and send them to Brian so he could arrange them, but it didn\u2019t work out that way. We\u2019re happy that we had something that was white; you never get really bright metal album covers, so in that respect it succeeded. Some people really, really dig it. Personally though, I\u2019d change one or two things. Not a great deal mind, if I\u2019m being honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke originally played guitar, though he was forced to abandon the instrument and concentrate on vocal duties. Erstwhile Mendeed axeman Steven Nixon joined the fold, the addition being publicly revealed on September 26th. \u201cUp until a couple of months after the release of This Age Of Silence<\/em>, it was a four-member band,\u201d Luke confirms. \u201cAnterior was me on guitars and vocals, Leon Kemp on guitars, James Britton on bass, and Ross Andrews on drums. I just suffer really badly with carpal tunnel syndrome in my left hand, especially considering the amount of pressure I put myself under just trying to compete with bands at the time and that overwhelming pressure that we had on us with our record label. It was self-made pressure, really; I thought \u2018We\u2019ve got to practice loads more to get there to compete on the world market and everything,\u2019 so I was just literally stressing myself out all the time. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe guitar was always around, and it just really aggravated my carpal tunnel syndrome to a point where I had to go to the doctors. I had to go to hospital about it because my hand just wouldn\u2019t work anymore. We had a tour with The Black Dahlia Murder back then, so we got a mate to fill in on guitar for us and it\u2019s pretty much stayed the same way. Mendeed split up, and Steven Nixon joined us from Mendeed. We were really happy with the line-up, and the way the five-member band was working. Right now though since this has all calmed down \u2013 I\u2019ve had a lot of physiotherapy \u2013 it doesn\u2019t seem to flair up as much. I might get the odd day or two, but that\u2019s it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Occasionally though, the co-founder still picks up a guitar and composes some tunes. \u201cSometimes we do it,\u201d he admits. \u201cWe\u2019ve had tracks with Steve where it\u2019s been me and Steve sitting down with a computer sometimes, and just knocking out guitar rhythms and stuff. I suppose it\u2019s just trying to bounce ideas off of as many people as possible. The majority of the time though it isn\u2019t me with a guitar in my hand \u2013 it\u2019s usually Steven and Leon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inaugural drummer Ross Andrews departed in April 2008. \u201cI suppose it\u2019s hard to explain,\u201d Luke begins, \u201cunless people have been in a band and done really hard slog touring and the grief that comes with it \u2013 the financial burden almost you put yourself under when you try to take a band off, especially trying to take a band from a hobby to a career. It\u2019s pretty difficult because there\u2019s a lot of factors to take into consideration, so you\u2019ve got to balance family life, work, the band, touring all at the same time and some people don\u2019t cope as well as other people. That\u2019s the brutal honesty of it, and I think that was Ross\u2019 gripe. At the end of the day, some people just want to get out of it and get a real job and do life normally (laughs). Pursuing a career opens up a lot more opportunities to you, although it\u2019s just whether some people want to hold onto their dreams, put up with the negative parts of life that come with it and charge on with the band. Ross made his decision, and the band stands by him all the way. We\u2019re gonna keep charging on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew Cairns was announced as Ross\u2019 successor on February 4th, 2009, though on that exact date one year later yet another replacement was unveiled. \u201cAnother case of not realising entirely what goes into being in a band, a touring band,\u201d the vocalist believes of Andrew. \u201cI think the fantasy was bigger for him than the reality. We were signed to a particularly major record label \u2013 Metal Blade Records \u2013 and it\u2019s quite a big deal for a lot of people. He joined us just prior to going on a major UK tour with All That Remains and The Haunted, which was quite a big deal for him \u2013 it was a big deal for me as well at the time. A lot of people are really up for that lifestyle; being in a band, touring around the country, drinking booze and playing with these awesome bands in front of really big crowds. They think they\u2019re signed to a record label where millions of pounds will be flowing in and their pockets will be lined from day one, and that really, really isn\u2019t the reality. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a lot of hard work to be done, and you\u2019ve gotta have a fair amount of albums under your belt before you see any financial benefits in the music business. The reality of it is you\u2019ve got to put a lot of money into it, and you\u2019ve gotta slog like everyone else \u2013 anyone in a band will tell you this. He didn\u2019t want that lifestyle. He didn\u2019t realise the extent of the hard work that went into Anterior I don\u2019t think until he was in the band for a number of months, and then he said \u2018I wanna leave. I don\u2019t want this lifestyle – I don\u2019t want it,\u2019 which is all well and good. I think it was naivety on his part at least. He didn\u2019t leave amicably; we had a big bust-up \u2013 a proper rock \u2019n\u2019 roll bust-up \u2013 and we hate each other (laughs). But that\u2019s fine (laughs). He left us in the lurch, and I\u2019m happy to let anyone print that. He basically left a week before a tour, which is naughty. That\u2019s not what people do.\u201d<\/p>\n

You get a bad reputation like that. \u201cAbsolutely, yeah. It doesn\u2019t just affect one person; it affects the whole band, all the people that\u2019ve put effort into the band. It affects the management, it affects the record label, it affects booking agencies \u2013 the lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The replacement in question is James Cook, his membership confirmed following a December 2009 debut. \u201cAll the way from London,\u201d Luke reveals. \u201cIt was quite random, us meeting up. He was in London at a show in the Underworld I think it was in Camden, and he was the drummer playing for a local thrash band from northwest London. At the time we were in the middle of practically looking for a drummer. He can really, really fucking hit the drums man (laughs). That was it. I thought \u2018Great \u2013 bring him down to Wales,\u2019 and we brought him down. He came down for two auditions, and the rest I suppose is history. He\u2019s good enough. He gets along with everyone, and we get along with him really well. He has a drive, and he knew what he was getting into. What more do you want, really?\u201d<\/p>\n

August 2011\u2019s Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em> is the first Anterior album to be cut with Steven Nixon and James Cook. \u201cWriting went on for quite a long time for this record,\u201d the Welshman divulges. \u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of trips back and forth to Scotland for Steve, Steve coming down to us. Again, it was pretty much the same deal as the first album. Unless the ideas are absolutely the best things that could go into a song, the song is not gonna make the record \u2013 we just scrap it, kill it and start again. We recorded this one near Ipswich in a studio called Grindstone Studios with the producer Scott Atkins, who\u2019s an unbelievable human being \u2013 he really is. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him, and an absolute nightmare to work with him (laughs). I don\u2019t think he\u2019ll mind me saying that \u2013 I think he would say the same thing about us, even. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were in there for quite awhile, and it was a new experience for us because we moved basically to Ipswich for this. We stayed there because previously we\u2019d just been back and forth to the studio. He\u2019s a real fucking taskmaster, brutal with everything. Long days are no problem for him \u2013 14 hours in the studio \u2013 which is mentally arduous for everyone. He will bring the best out of everyone though, he really will. I don\u2019t think the record would\u2019ve been as good if we had gone with anyone else. It\u2019s bit of a bold statement but I truly believe that, I really do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely think it\u2019s more to the point, and is wrapped up in a slighter neater package \u2013 we didn\u2019t go for the eccentric, incredibly long songs. It still contains an awful lot of the \u2013 some would say \u2013 over the top guitar work. That\u2019s the originality of Anterior; the ridiculous guitar work that you never really hear on a metal album like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The presence of Steven Nixon on Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em>\u2019s tracks has altered Anterior\u2019s sound. \u201cYou can definitely hear a change; you can definitely hear a little bit of Mendeed in Anterior, especially when it comes to some of the lead guitar work,\u201d Luke feels. \u201cHe\u2019s got his own thing \u2013 I was joking with a mate in the car not so long back… You can totally hear the difference between the two guitar players. I think that has opened up a new avenue for us. Steve is an absolutely fantastic guitar player, there\u2019s no denying that. He\u2019s given us a little bit more of his flavour, and I think that\u2019s really a good thing. It mixes it up a little.\u201d<\/p>\n

The guitar work has improved on Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em>. \u201cDefinitely,\u201d the singer agrees. \u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s four years on this album is. If you don\u2019t improve in four years then you\u2019re doing something wrong. We\u2019ve literally been playing for four years longer, and that\u2019s as long as some kids have even been playing guitar. If you don\u2019t come up with something better, then something\u2019s weird. Especially Leon and Steven, they wanted to make an impression \u2013 that\u2019s the thing writing with these two guys. They\u2019re bouncing off of each other again, especially with the intense lead guitar work. Not that they were trying to outdo each other, but I think it was a friendly bit of competition sometimes. Again, Scott Atkins pushes it as well and really hammers it, saying \u2018You can play better \u2013 you can do something more fancy here.\u2019 I think the guitar work is a unique selling point.\u201d<\/p>\n

The four-year gap between the issue of This Age Of Silence<\/em> and Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em> hasn\u2019t helped Anterior. \u201cI agree with you,\u201d Luke laments. \u201cIt was never our agenda to release albums so far apart; it was just a matter of availability of band members, and going through so many line-up changes. It was so insecure in terms of band members for quite awhile that it just made it impossible to track and record. We had talks to record this album two years ago, which is when we were originally speaking with Scott to record this album, and it\u2019s been two years late. We made an honest vow \u2013 to ourselves at least \u2013 to make sure that that doesn\u2019t happen again. There are already songs kicking around now for the next album, which is gonna happen within the next two years.\u201d<\/p>\n

A mixed bag of opinions and critiques denote Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em>\u2019s lyrical content. \u201cThe title was decided a little while after the songs and lyrics were written because I had the idea of using this quote that was relevant to the lyrics in the songs,\u201d the frontman stresses. \u201cThe songs were inspired by a quote from someone almost. Coincidentally everyone who happened to provide the quotes were authors, and social commentators who had died previously even and have been dead for a long time. We thus titled the album Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe made a point of saying \u2018We\u2019re not gonna have a concept album \u2013 we\u2019re not gonna just fix on one main point. There\u2019s gonna be nine full songs of lyrics on the album and nine different topics.\u2019 I suppose it\u2019d take awhile to outline every single one, but a few things on there we discuss are financial inequality in society, and racism. I address ambition more than once, and a few other things \u2013 drugs, and a few personal things as well. \u2018Sleep Soundly No More\u2019 started off life as an ode to my own insomnia; I really, really struggle to sleep, and I was up one night again just not sleeping. I just picked a pen up, and started writing about it. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was watching a documentary on TV which as it happens was about a German man who escaped East Germany during the 50s when the Berlin Wall was up; he happened to dig a tunnel to his brother, but when he went back to bring his wife and three children a young soldier saw him going and he shot that soldier. The soldier was young, about 17-years-old, and the guy was in tears talking about it. It really struck home. I was thinking, \u2018Fuck, and I\u2019m having trouble sleeping just because I really over-think things.\u2019 I\u2019m lying in bed, trying to sleep and just going over loads of stupid things in my head like \u2018Oh, is the record gonna be good?,\u2019 \u2018Are we gonna try to do this?,\u2019 \u2018Are we gonna try to do that?\u2019 and this guy is dealing with some serious issues. It was a humble thought, I felt. That song was born out of just something as simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Touring has inevitably improved Luke\u2019s vocal experience. \u201cI think singing\u2019s a lot easier,\u201d he deduces. \u201cWhen we were first recording, it was such a hit and hope attitude to everything because we had pretty much no idea what we were doing. Just getting there in a vocal booth and shouting your head off, that was the idea. This time around, after touring for four years and being on tour with so many great vocalists, you pick inspiration and advice and take it all onboard and mix it up with your own experience. I think I\u2019m a more competent vocalist now, a little more consistent, and pronunciation, words and phrases have become a lot easier. I\u2019ve never actually been asked about the vocals. I\u2019m happy with the way the record turned out. There\u2019s always little bits where you go \u2018I wish we could go back and change that\u2019, but like I said earlier, the first album was recorded the way it was so should be left alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richey Beckett designed the cover artwork for Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em>. \u201cThis time around we made the decision that we wanted something a little more old school,\u201d the co-founder muses. \u201cWe didn\u2019t want anyone to be on a computer when they designed this album cover, and Richey Beckett did a fantastic job \u2013 the guy\u2019s a genius. We sat down with him; he pulled his pen out, started drawing on a piece of paper and kept going really.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIncredibly varied \u2013 it\u2019s always been varied, I think,\u201d Luke says of the Welsh metal scene. \u201cInitially when Anterior first got signed, we didn\u2019t receive a lot of love from the local scene at all. It was always a little… I don\u2019t know what it was. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s that many bands in Wales in the same vein as Anterior. There are a lot of big trends I think, especially image-driven trends. I suppose the rest of the UK metal scene is the same, but I always felt anyone trying to do something like we\u2019re doing is kind of alienated almost. We didn\u2019t fit in, really. It was way too European I suppose for South Wales. There are a lot of American trends going on, and we\u2019ve never been a part of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are always a lot of great, great bands in South Wales though which should be doing a lot more than they are, bands like Storm The Walls, All To Ruin, The Hotel Ambush and Fell On Black Days just to name a few off the top of my head. There\u2019s a lot of talent here, there really, really is. I really do hope that these bands get the opportunity to do what we\u2019ve done, to tour their arses off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luckily for fans, a four-year gap will not lie between Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em> and Anterior\u2019s third studio album. \u201cDefinitely not,\u201d the vocalist concurs. \u201cWhen a band takes such a long time to produce another record and get back into everyone\u2019s faces, you really do lose momentum. We\u2019ve had to put our heads down and fingers up, and get back on the horse and fucking charge on again. There\u2019s obviously the hype from the previous record, but unless a record follows that up in due course then the hype dies down and the following for the band dies down. You\u2019re giving yourself a little bit more hard work to do to climb the ladder again. There\u2019s definitely not gonna be such a long gap between albums this time around definitely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Echoes Of The Fallen<\/em> was released on August 26th, 2011 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, on September 12th in the rest of Europe and on the 13th in North America, all through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n
