Celtic Assault is a three piece, dual singer, digitally drummed metal band based in Swansea, South Wales, UK. The sound is old school metal (Megadeth, Iron maiden etc...) and nu-metal (Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit etc...). BBC radio have described the band as 'Bon Jovi with balls meets rage against the machine' The band have come far over the last few years having worked with a number of high profile artists including MTV's DIRTY SANCHEZ and were finalists in the Afan 87.7 FM 'last one standing' competition, the only metal band in the final. The beginning of 2005 has seen Celtic Assault become band of the week on Valleys Radio 999-1116am with plans to return for a live session later in the year. Celtic Assault has two vocalists helping to mix their various different styles, and with thundering riffs, blistering guitar solos and big choruses the band aims to be powerful and original. With their music, they are not afraid to speak their mind and take you on a journey through controversial and political subjects right through to the world of the paranormal. They are hungry, they are aggressive, and they are waiting to be unleashed. Join the assault!!!
