Combining intricate riffs and furious rhythms with anthemic, cascading vocals, Lest We Forget’s unique brand of progressive metal synthesises those two most disparate of things - the complex and the catchy.
The band’s innovative sound derives from juxtaposition. This exists in the dialogue between JH Norris’s clean and Jamie McIntrye’s screamed vocals, and in the conjoining of Harry Lingard-Bright’s soaring lead lines with Dec Doran’s fierce percussive cadences.
Praised especially by BBC Introducing’s Dave Gilyeat, Lest We Forget’s latest release ‘Sweet Serenity’ is the most emphatic manifesto of their style to date, and can be listened to on Spotify (https://open.spotify/artist/6KPIJI6cEqz1R9vbicZRGk?si=FAYyAIruSn6kqA8TwDmv-g) alongside their wider back catalogue.
Since appearing to a crowd of 6,000 at the Proud2 in London’s 02 Arena during the final of Live and Unsigned, at which the band played for high-profile industry professionals such as Kerrang!’s Alex Baker, Lest We Forget have obtained notable support slots with bands such as Yashin, Fearless Vampire Killers, Press to Meco, Wars, Chapter and Verse, and Martyr de Mona, among others. They have sold out the 02 Academy 2 in Oxford, and have performed at prestigious live venues across the country, including The Fleece in Bristol, which hosted the band for a show in which they were the headlining touring act.
Lest We Forget continue to work as an exciting and inventive force in the UK scene. Further releases are scheduled for the near future.
