Astonishingly, the fiery rampage of Asomvel’s metal-punk-rock’n’roll masterpiece Knuckle Duster marks 20 years since these British bruisers first started jamming on a pig farm with a load of Special Brew.

Formed in 1993 by guitarist Lenny Robinson and bassist/vocalist Jay-Jay Winter, Asomvel’s first drummer was ex-Cathedral/Acid Reign man Mark Wharton, but “about ten” more came and went before the band recorded their first demo in 2001. After 2007’s Full Moon Dog 10″ the power trio managed to thrash out their raucous debut LP Kamikaze in 2009 to much acclaim, Asomvel firmly establishing themselves as underdog cult heroes of the UK HM underground. Barely a year later, however, the band was shaken to its core when Jay-Jay Winter was killed in a road accident. Asomvel left all this behind and kept on making music. Now, Amsovel has released a new album called “Knuckle Duster”. Eleven tracks full of thriving kick ass music. Each song is pushing you further, gets you going along. You can feel the adrenaline rush through your body while listening to “Knuckle Duster”. The style of the vocals reminds a little of Motörhead. Fast rhythms and fucked up lyrics, dirty and edgy. Asomvel definitely rocks your mind out. So grab a beer and have a good time. Listen to Asomvel’s new album “Knuckle Duster” loud and feel the power.
