Inimisus

I first came into contact with this band through a good promoter friend of mine while I was still doing gigs. The bassist of the band Tom “T-Lo” Lewis had contacted him in regards gigs if I recall correctly.  I had a listen to their tracks on My Space (yes it is still in existence) and I was suitably impressed and also bemused at the same time. The reason for this was the talent level within the band had the sound of a band which had been signed and had been together for a long time. Yet Inimisus were the opposite of this impression, they were unsigned and had only been together since 2010

So a quick introduction to who this band are, the five piece metal band hailing from Trowbridge, Wiltshire and consist of  Jack 'Jacko' Adrey (Vocals),  Ralph 'Razza' Yandell – Guitars), Patch Sanders (Guitars), Tom 'T-Lo' Lewis (Bass)  and Toby Wrobel (Drums). The band formed in 2010 and was formally named “Traitor Betrayed”. Inimisus very quickly became rather popular within their local music scene with their unique sound.

When asked what makes them unique from other bands in the local scene T-Lo said “We've definitely developed an "Inimisus" sound as people have said, though I'm not sure how.  I don't know really, I guess the stark contrasts in the music we make, how it can go from crushing break down, to harmonious epic riffage to soft, guitar led interludes.”

Another impressive attribute of this band is that their first live gig - usually a hit or miss experience for bands - was totally packed. T-Lo commented that "It was the most packed I have ever seen the venue." add to this a string of shows afterwards-  including playing on the back of a truck- in the same venue with the same effect, and you can see that this band were in for big things. The band also got the amazing opportunity to co-write  a song with Jonny from Devil Sold His Soul.

When quizzed on the state of the unsigned music scene T-Lo stated "There are a lot of awesome bands out there who should be signed, and who have great potential, but also too many who are just doing 'more of the same' .. who have NO inspiration or emotion in their music. So it's a very mixed scene, really."

When you see a band have the rather quick ascent  in popularity and establishing themselves within the local music scene as well as Inimisus have done you tend to wonder where the band see themselves in the future. It's the one question musicians tend to hate as it can make them look either two ways - egotistical if they say big things or  modest if they answer with realistic aspirations,  As for T-Lo he went for the modest approach   "I wouldn't want to say, of course, everyone has hopes and dreams but I can't really say how far we'll get. Hopefully with the new merch, mini-tour and 8Track e.p we have coming up, our name will become known further out."

If you are looking for new music to listen to I highly reccomend you listen to Inimisus, you will defiantly not be disappointed. I look forward to the day I get to see this band live, if their recorded tracks are anything to go by it will be  a fantastic show.
