About
I.C.O.N are steadily establishing themselves as one of the most exciting metal bands to emerge from the UK underground in the last few years. Formed in Burnley, East Lancashire, just before the new millennium, the band initially started writing and gigging throughout the UK with a drum machine before James Henderson climbed onboard in early 2005. 2006 saw the release of ‘Control EP’ , raising the band’s profile further. In 2007, I.C.O.N enjoyed sell out Manchester shows including a sterling highlight appearance at Manchester Academy, a support slot with international rockers Zico Chain and an appearance at ‘In The City’ as well as the release of the popular ‘Messiah Complex’ EP. 2008 included tour dates with Diamond Head, Blaze Bayley, Witchfynde, Voodoo Six, 2 tracks on a worldwide release of PC game ‘Motorm4x’, a memorable appearance on SKY TV, BBC Radio, all along with their hefty touring and potent live shows. 2009 sees new bassist Ross Adams joining the family and completing the line-up, the release of their long awaited debut album ’NEW BORN LIE’, as well as extensive touring in the UK and beyond... Absolutely blind to the current trends, I.C.O.N are forging their own path and pushing and shoving their way through in the only way they know how; with attitude, anger and their brand of hard-nosed fist pounding metal anthems, getting the I.C.O.N message out there as far and as wide as possible, pushing ever harder. A powerful, original band mixing all the best elements of metal and hard rock and spitting out their own unique sound. On Tour throughout 2009. Be there…Influences
