Band Line Up 2015

Bio:

Taken By The Tide first made waves in 2010, with their debut release 'There's No Such Thing As An Atheist In A Foxhole'. The record was received well by press and fans and boasted substantial domestic and international digital sales. It also won TBTT comparisons to bands such as Ion Dissonance, Meshuggah, Sylosis and Mastodon.

In 2014 Taken By The Tide were back with the darkly progressive 'Hands of Spite' EP. Self released through Bandcamp as a 'Name Your Price' download Hands of Spite was amongst the Bandcamp best sellers during its first week, and again piqued the interest of the extreme metal press:

'Put simply, this is ridiculously good. It is twenty one minutes of intelligent heavy music that kicks the crap out of the boundaries that separate Doom, Prog, Djent and Hardcore.'

-Metalmouth.net

'Taken By The Tide's sound is difficult to describe, showcasing an intricate and highly technical level of musicianship, but never at the expense of face peelingly visceral levels of aggression and riffs that make you want to punch walls. Imagine, if you will Ion Dissonance and Meshuggah kicking the living shit our of each other atop the wing of a jet plane as it crashes into The Dillinger Escape Plan.'

-Terrorizer Magazine.

After their extensive touring with fellow tech monsters Mask Of Judas (last summer and this spring) as well as a number of festival appearances, they enter the studio again this March to record the as yet untitled follow up to 'Hands of Spite'. After which, more live dates will follow with a view to international dates toward the end of the year.

2015 promises to be successful for Taken By The Tide because of their hard work, strong DIY ethic and furious determination.
