About Marseille

Hailing from the industrial heartlands of the UK, Marseille have carved an indelible mark on the heavy metal landscape since their formation in the early 2010s. Known for their uncompromising blend of classic heavy metal riffage, thrash-infused aggression, and anthemic choruses, they quickly garnered a reputation as a formidable live act and a band pushing the boundaries of traditional metal. Their sound is a potent cocktail of intricate guitar work, driving bass lines that hit you in the gut, and precision drumming that forms the backbone of their relentless assault.

Their debut album, “Ironclad Resolve,” released in 2014, was met with critical acclaim, establishing their signature sound and earning them a dedicated following. Tracks like “Steel Veins” and “Echoes of Ruin” became instant fan favourites, showcasing their ability to craft both blistering speed and epic, melodic passages. Subsequent releases, including the critically lauded “Crimson Dominion” (2018), further solidified their place at the forefront of the new wave of British heavy metal, demonstrating consistent growth and an unwavering commitment to their craft.

The current lineup, featuring the powerhouse vocals of Liam “The Voice” Blackwood, the twin guitar attack of Marcus Thorne and Chloe “The Ripper” Davies, the relentless rhythm section of bassist Sam “The Hammer” Harrison, and drummer Anya Sharma, is arguably their strongest yet. Their chemistry on stage is palpable, translating into a live performance that is both technically brilliant and emotionally charged. Expect a setlist that spans their impressive discography, delivered with the ferocity and passion that Marseille are renowned for.
