about

Carrying on the proud legacy of Pacific Northwest heavy metal bands such as MALICE, METAL CHURCH early QUEENSRYCHE and WILD DOGS, SPELLCASTER formed during early 2009 to prove that traditional heavy metal is alive and well in the USA. After the breakup of their previous band during late 2008 guitarist Cory Boyd and drummer Shad Covert set out to start a faster, heavier band with which to fulfill their musical desires. Over the following months frontman Thomas Adams was added to the fold, followed by bass player Gabe Franco shortly thereafter. In need of a second guitarist to complete their dual-guitar attack, Tyler Loney joined SPELLCASTER, filling the last piece of the puzzle and completing the band’s line-up.

With a Solid lineup, SPELLCASTER hit the studio in late 2009 to record and self-release their debut three song CD EP entitled Spells of Speed. Catching the attention of New York's Heavy Artillery Records, the band were offered an opportunity to join the label’s growing roster. Spells of Speed was re-released with bonus tracks during October 2010 becoming the first installment in the label’s “Wax Maniax” demo series of limited edition vinyl and CD demo releases. The limited edition of 200 MLPs and 200 CDs quickly sold out and generated stellar reviews from the metal press while helping to develop a worldwide fan base for SPELLCASTER.

Now armed and ready for battle, SPELLCASTER are preparing to support the release of Under the Spell on an upcoming North American tour during late summer / early fall 2011. Working nonstop to get their music blasting into the ears of bullet belt abusing, beer bashing headbangers worldwide, SPELLCASTER are a band to watch out for and their debut album Under the Spell is guaranteed to make some heads roll.
