Bifurcate

Years ago, January 2010, Mark Smith, former vocalist of post/progressive metal band Pseudo-Messiah and brief vocalist of heavy metal band Raid, formally announced a new project tentatively named Space Bowl. Featuring newcomer drummer Ben Jones and guitar virtuoso Rory Duncan (ex Raid and Pseudo-Messiah - Now guitarist of Circus), Space Bowl was originally planned to be a musical experiment, combining space rock and extreme metal to create something truly unique. In February, it was also decided that newcomer Owen Llewellyn would play rhythm guitar for the group

The Agonyst

"The Agonyst began as a two piece experiment in 1998 with Louis Coates and David Perrin (IHU, Supernoisegod, Dog Eat Fondue, The Skagbeetles). David became too busy swanning around with his la-di-da posh friends doing poppers and ramming each others brown ones to continue in the project, so their collaborative efforts were archived to possibly later be ripped off.
To this day, Louis continues the hunt for info-hungry musicians with the talent and sex appeal to make people almost forget that the guy at the front is definately genetically flawed on a very obvious level.
