Honey
For Christ are a Northern Ireland based pure heavy metal band formed through
obsession with metal music and all that it stands for. The band refuse
to hold back on musical influences and only play what they want to hear.
Emotionally charged with passion and energy this latest EP brings 5 tracks
of the darkest music the band has written.
The Darkest Pinnacle of Light was recorded in Cottage Studios in Northern
Ireland, produced, recorded and mixed by the band themselves to ensure
proper representation of the music and finally mastered at studioFeRoX.
Honey For Christ were formed in November 1998 by 5 friends with a passion
for music. All categories of metal were forgotten and it was agreed that
no member would hold back any influence, and this created the sound of
Honey for Christ. From March 1999 to 2002 the band released 3 successful
demos; April of 1999 the debut “Long Way Down & Rising”
was recorded on 4 track. The demo was heavily distributed and achieved
very good press in both fanzines and magazines The events of 2000 led
to the creation of a self financed EP, entitled “The Art of Self
Abuse & Soul Erosion,” In June 2002 the band were taken into
a professional studio to capture the power and intensity that the music
deserves; the outcome was “Forging Iron Will.” Again critically
acclaimed by fanzines and the mainstream, the disc was a great success,
and was featured as album of the month by metalUK.
2005 saw HFC with a new line up, Andy taking on the additional role of
vocals due to Jason's’ departure earlier in the year. Undeterred
the trio self financed and self produced 5 of the darkest tracks to date.
This evolution created “The Darkest Pinnacle of Light.” Acheiving
great reviews and album of the month in some zines Honey For Christ took
their music further afield.
In 2007 Honey For Christ decided to venture to Europe, Belgium, Spain,
Portugal, Germany and The Netherlands all geting a taste of the metal
madness! Reacitions were very positive and the band had a great time.
2008 brought some more touring to Europe and the UK with only a few gigs
in Ireland. It was decided that as the band were approaching 10 years
of existence they would release something special. So a new track "All
Hope Was Strangled" was recorded and released as a single, with a
B side of a rewokred classic, "Orion Dust." The single was released
as a 7" vinyl rather than on CD as a treat for HFC fans, along with
a bonus CD-ROM with video footage of tours and MP3's of the 2 tracks.
With more tours planned Honey For Christ continue - 100%
raw, unclean, uncut hard & honest heavy fucking metal!!!
