Subversion (UK) 2011 - Lest We Forget

- BIOGRAPHY -

Subversion are an unsigned 6 piece experimental metal band from the South East UK.

They have their humble beginnings way back in February of 2008 when two guitarists decided to put something together that was inspired by a love of metal, and a love of film score.

Fusing melody, symphony and technicality the band has created a unique sound that will satisfy those with a taste for experimental metal without fear of symbiosis between other styles of music.

Subversion have been known to describe them selves as ‘dynamic’ as they wish to delve in to many genres of music but always combined with the many genres of modern metal so as not to restrict themselves in the creative process and remain in keeping with their love of all things heavy.



- DÉBUT ALBUM -

‘Lest We Forget’ features 16 tracks interwoven with music & sound design (audio art and SFX for film, animation, Television). The idea of sound design in this album is to create the illusion of a movie running through its entirety but via the sole mediums of sound & the accompanied descriptive text (as will be available within the booklet of the CD or downloadable for free for digital purchasers of the album)

The narrative within Lest We Forget tries to portray a lone soldier’s fears and struggles after being the sole survivor of an attack on his platoon of men near the opening of the album (Track 2 – In To The City). He faces various obstacles as he tries to make it back out from behind enemy lines and this all provided Subversion with the freedom to be really creative with sound, culminating in many hours of Foley work, on location recording and voice acting.
